(1) Do you know the three changes of perfume?
Due to the characteristics of perfume itself, when applying the fragrance of perfume, with the passage of time, the fragrance gradually blends with the skin and then becomes the lingering fragrance that is about to disappear. With the passage of time, the fragrance will change little by little, which is the change of fragrance, which can be divided into the following three stages:
After perfume touches the skin, the first smell is called the front smell. This perfume shoulders the important mission of letting people know about this perfume. Most of them are volatile citrus flavor mixed with alcohol flavor, lasting about 10 minute. When buying perfume, if you judge your likes and dislikes only by the previous taste, you will have a great chance of regret. Please pay special attention.
After the former flavor disappears, the middle flavor will gradually emerge. The duration is about 30 minutes to two hours. The fragrance at this stage can best show the characteristics of this perfume, which is the fragrance that the perfumer wants to show to everyone. At this time, it is most appropriate to choose the perfume that suits you.
When the fragrance that blends with the skin and the body fragrance are mixed together, it becomes the unique taste of the person who wears this perfume. This fragrance is called aftertaste, which is the so-called aftertaste, and lasts for about 2 hours to half a day. However, animal spices with strong persistence tend to stay for a long time.
When dating a friend or boyfriend who smells the same, it is recommended that you use a green scent or a citrus scent.
I occasionally make a fashionable dress and want to show my different self in peacetime. Elegant and mysterious orange moss perfume or sexy oriental perfume are good combinations.
(2) Spray perfume 20 minutes before going out.
The fragrance will change with time, so it is important to know when it is best to wear perfume before we go out.
Although wearing perfume is the perfect ending of dressing up, it doesn't mean wearing perfume after makeup. When you first put on perfume, the smell is full of alcohol, which will make people around you feel unhappy.
Because after 20-30 minutes of perfume, the fragrance is the best. Therefore, 20-30 minutes before an appointment or dinner is the best time to wear perfume.
More importantly, perfume will make you feel happy. So, please change your habit and spray perfume before making up. When you put on makeup, you will feel comfortable and full of happiness, because you are surrounded by fragrance.
If you spray perfume in advance, you won't rush out, but you will spray too much perfume.
When you go out in the morning, you have put on perfume, and the fragrance still exists, but because our sense of smell smells the same smell for a long time, it will cause paralysis, so when you arrive at your destination, if you want to put on some more perfume, you must put it lightly, or put it on your ankles and knees below your body. There will be no choking smell of alcohol, and there will be a faint aroma.
(3) master the correct use of parts, emitting elegant fragrance.
If you want to be a master of perfume use, there are some rules that must be followed. Finding the right place to use is also one of the rules.
Make good use of new knowledge, master the correct parts and methods of perfume use, and make yourself a smart perfume user!
Perfume works best directly on the skin. If you care about your body odor and want to cover it up with perfume, the result of mixing fragrance and body odor may be counterproductive. Perfume is to make it emit fragrant fragrance, not to eliminate odor, so perfume must be rubbed on clean skin.
Since it is a beautiful fragrance, if it is mixed with sweat, it will lose its original taste, so it is best to avoid using perfume under the armpits that are prone to sweating.
For parts with high body temperature, perfume is more effective. Basically, the body temperature inside the body is higher than outside. Especially when the perfume is rubbed on the inner side of the wrist and legs, the fragrance will spread evenly during the activity.
If it is directly applied to the vein, it will be mixed with body fragrance, with a faint personality fragrance.
However, when applying perfume directly to the skin, avoid the parts exposed to sunlight. Because exposure to ultraviolet light is the cause of skin spots.
(4) Master the basic methods of perfume spraying.
The main reason why perfume is not easy to wear is that it is too strong. Use the same perfume every day. After getting used to this perfume, it will gradually increase. For yourself, it may be just the right fragrance, but for others, the strong fragrance may have produced "olfactory pollution"
I think a slight lack of fragrance is the normal weight of perfume, and then I will replenish it after the fragrance disappears. When you are not sure how fragrant the fragrance is, ask friends and relatives around you to help you judge.
2 "wear" perfume, which is represented by "Wear" in English. Perfume is an invisible dress, which should be widely and evenly rubbed on the body.
Essence is "point", perfume is "line" and cologne is "face". The lower the concentration of perfume, the wider the range, which is the secret of good perfume.
The so-called "touching" means taking perfume with your fingertips and rubbing it on six or seven parts of your body bit by bit. If perfume is concentrated in one place, the fragrance will not come out and it will evaporate easily. Apply proper amount to all parts to make the skin slightly wet. If you rub it too much, gently wipe it off with cotton dipped in ethanol, and the fragrance will not be too strong.
If you want to spray more widely, I suggest you use a sprayer. Before wearing clothes, choose two or three parts to spray directly on the skin. Let the sprayer be about 10-20 cm away from the body, so that the sprayed perfume will form a mist and spray a wider range. If you are worried about spraying too much perfume, spray the perfume into the air, and then walk through the perfume fog, so that the perfume falls evenly on your body, leaving only a faint fragrance.
Let the warmth of body temperature drive the surrounding fragrance, so it is better to wear perfume on the lower body than on the upper body. And staying away from the nose won't irritate you. If it is rubbed on the skirt, the fragrance will sway with the swing of the limbs when walking, adding infinite charm. If you want the fragrance not to be too strong, it is also one of the ways to apply perfume at low body temperature.
However, it is taboo to wear perfume in the triangle formed by the connection between the ear and the brain, because the skin around the throat is very sensitive and it is very irritating to be too close to the nose.
(3) the use of perfume.
If you want to give full play to the best effect of spraying perfume and make your gestures emit charming fragrance, you must know the correct part to use.
A. Behind the ear
This is the most common place to wear perfume. It has a high body temperature and is not affected by ultraviolet rays.
B. Posterior neck
If it is long hair, it can be covered with hair to avoid ultraviolet radiation. However, it is a sensitive part of the skin and must be used with caution according to personal circumstances.
C. hair
Put perfume on the ends of your hair, and just shake your head gently, it will be full of charming fragrance. But when eating with people, it is best not to wear perfume here.
D. inside of elbow
The inside of elbow belongs to the part with higher body temperature. As long as you move your elbow, it will give off a rich fragrance.
E. waist
When attending a dinner party, the perfume is rubbed below the waist, which makes the fragrance sway with the limbs better than the exposed skin.
F. Wrist
The secret is to rub perfume on the blood vessels. This part has a high body temperature and is often active, which is a place where the aroma is easy to distribute.
G. Fingertips
Fingertips are easily stained with various smells. I hope buying perfume in this place will become your habit. Especially smokers, don't forget to take some perfume from your fingertips. However, please be careful not to make the fragrance everywhere.
H. inside of the knee
Putting perfume on the inside of your knees can make you stand up and smell from the bottom up. When you touch up the perfume, just rub it on your socks.
I. Legs
Before wearing stockings, spray perfume on the inside of legs, knees and ankles, so that the fragrance is not only elegant but also lasting.
J. ankle
Apply perfume to the inside of Achilles tendon above the ankle. Every time you gently move the lotus step, it will give off a faint fragrance. If you want to touch up the perfume, don't forget this part.
K. skirt
As long as you swing the skirt, the fragrance will spread gently and leave a good impression.
(5) Perfume should change with the season or weather.
I always want to use my favorite perfume at any time, regardless of the change of seasons. However, the fragrance will be affected by the season or weather changes, so the important idea of using perfume is "not to use all bottles".
When the temperature is high, the fragrance is strong, and when the temperature is low, the taste will not be so strong. In addition, when the humidity is high, the fragrance is easy to remain, and when the temperature is low, the fragrance evaporates quickly.
If these factors are considered, the summer with strong activity is suitable for citrus fragrance, green fragrance or compound floral fragrance with relatively convergent sweetness. Green fragrance is a fresh woody fragrance, which is also suitable for outdoor sports in summer. On the contrary, what is not suitable for summer universities is the rich oriental perfume. If the temperature is high and the humidity is low, the rich aroma will not make people feel uncomfortable. Oriental perfume exudes elegant fragrance in dry air, which is suitable for use in winter nights.
In addition, the crisp weather in autumn exudes natural fragrance everywhere, which is originally a fragrant season. Elegant citrus moss fragrance is most suitable for autumn, and the leaves are full of the fragrance of water droplets, which makes people calm and comfortable. If you want to emphasize the feeling of maturity, the rich aroma is also suitable for romantic late autumn.
Remember to use perfume during the day and essence at night.
(6) How to change the fragrance skillfully?
Although the appropriate time, place and occasion for using perfume have been mentioned before, if you have to go to dinner directly from the office, perfume should be as easy to change as clothing.
If perfume with completely different scents is added to the existing fragrance, the result of mixing two different scents is likely to produce unpleasant taste. So, I'll introduce you to a clever way to change the fragrance smoothly without mixing.
When you book a perfume change, don't put the perfume in a place where it is easy to leave fragrance. This is the most basic common sense. Of course, perfume should not be sprayed on clothes, and it should be avoided behind the ears. Just rub it on your wrist. Because there is a smell on your wrist, wash it off with soap. You can also spray perfume on small ornaments such as handkerchiefs or scarves during the day. At night, take these trinkets and put perfume on your skin.
Even if "different tones don't overlap" is common sense in using perfume, there are exceptions. How about using the combination of different notes, exerting your superb skills and taking risks?
If you want to take risks, you need skills. At this time, you can only use eau de toilette or cologne first, plus perfume with heavy fragrance. The fragrance of perfume will cover cologne, which will produce an unexpected and very harmonious fragrance. Of course, the harmony of fragrance must be considered before use.
If you use citrus fragrance during the day, you should choose green fragrance or floral fragrance at night; Use green fragrance system during the day and choose floral fragrance system or orange moss fragrance system at night; It is floral in the daytime and oriental or citrus in the evening.
Some people want to find their own unique fragrance and mix perfume, which is a very big mistake, because the production of a perfume is carefully prepared by a skilled perfumer after a long period of measurement. No matter how advanced the perfume is, the original delicate and harmonious fragrance of the perfume will collapse after mixed use, and the characteristics of the two perfumes will offset.
I remember a joke: "chanel no.5 mixed with 19, and it became my unique perfume 12." It's like listening to Bach and Beethoven at the same time, because everyone's fragrance is the result of a mixture of perfume and personal body fragrance. Even if the same perfume is applied to different people, the fragrance emitted cannot be exactly the same.
(7) How to use perfume, eau de toilette and cologne wisely?
Even the perfume with the same name will have some differences in fragrance texture or performance because of the difference of perfume, eau de toilette or cologne. The fragrance is the same as wine, so you must choose different kinds according to the occasion and food you drink. This is the key to using perfume skillfully.
Usually, the essence we are talking about refers to the perfume with a perfume concentration of about 15-30%, and the fragrance of this grade can best explain the brand characteristics. It lasts for a long time, about 5 to 7 hours, and the gorgeous and mature aroma is very suitable for going out at night or formal parties.
The most commonly used is perfume or eau de toilette. The concentration of perfume is between 10- 15%, which is a high-concentration fragrance product second only to essence. The duration is about 5 hours, similar to the fragrance of essence, but more economical than essence. Suitable for going out to the theatre, shopping or going to the office and attending simple parties during the day.
When you choose the essence to buy, you might as well start with the perfume of the same brand.
The perfume concentration of eau de toilette is between 5- 10%, which is a faint fragrance and lasts for about 3 hours. Usually used in office or leisure time, it is very suitable for the fragrance of daily life.
Cologne is "fresh water sold in Cologne", with a perfume concentration of 2-5% and a duration of 1 to 2 hours. Instead of refreshing yourself, it is better to spray some perfume. Most of them belong to the refreshing aroma of citrus, which makes people feel very refreshing because of its high volatility. You can think of it as a kind of fragrant water, which is sprayed all over the body as a prop to change the atmosphere before and after exercise or after bathing.
(8) Don't spray perfume directly on clothes that are easy to leave spots.
High-grade spices from natural materials are themselves dark, such as brown or yellow. After alcohol volatilizes, the spots left on clothes are the color of spices. When spraying perfume on clothes, you must pay attention to the residue of spots.
Not all fabrics are easy to leave spots, and Tedolon and acrylic fiber, which are commonly used as lining materials, will not leave spots.
In addition, wool, cashmere, nylon and other materials are not easy to leave spots, but please note that the fragrance will not disappear for a long time on clothes made of pure wool.
On the contrary, cotton, silk, rayon, fiber silk and other materials are easy to leave spots. In addition, the material of fur is not only difficult to eliminate fragrance, but also easy to deteriorate luster and discoloration, so don't spray perfume directly on fur. However, if you want to spray perfume directly on clothes of any material, you have to spray it inside. Light or light clothes must not be directly sprayed with perfume.
Once you leave spots on your clothes, you should deal with them as soon as possible. Put a dry towel inside the clothes, then dip a cloth with disinfectant alcohol and pat it gently on the spot. Perfume is insoluble in water, so it can't be wiped off at once with water or soap.
If it can't be wiped off with alcohol, or the spots have remained for some time, they should be sent to the laundry as soon as possible. If it's high-end clothes, you'd better ask an expert to deal with it immediately after you find it.
(9) Pay attention to the coordination of cosmetics and perfume fragrance.
Since there is no perfume without fragrance, cosmetics are bound to be inseparable from spices, and many people worry that perfume will not be in harmony with the fragrance of cosmetics.
However, please rest assured that the cosmetics at present are mainly light fragrance, and there will be no disharmony with perfume.
But pay attention to the lingering fragrance of shampoo and conditioner. There is nothing wrong with ordinary shampoos and conditioners, but some shampoos and conditioners that emphasize fragrance will not disappear after washing. Therefore, after using shampoo and conditioner that emphasize fragrance, perfumes with different fragrances will conflict with fragrance.
If you use shampoo and conditioner that emphasize fragrance instead of perfume, or use the same series of products, there will be no problem.
(10) What are the taboos for using incense?
Although it is necessary to "increase the chances of using perfume", there are certainly places where perfume is not suitable or where it must be used with special care. If you don't know how to distinguish between these opportunities and occasions, you will be considered as a "person without common sense".
Just like when you go to the hospital to visit a patient, you don't send fragrant flowers directly. Perfume is also very light, especially in a closed room. Patients are more sensitive to smells than ordinary people and may feel uncomfortable because of the smell of perfume.
In addition, wake or farewell ceremony is not suitable for gorgeous fragrance. It is best not to wear perfume, but if you really want to use perfume, you should also choose perfume on the principle of feeling sad for the deceased.
Similarly, you should pay special attention to the fragrance when you go to a restaurant or eat. Since we pay attention to the color, fragrance and taste of delicacies, if our own fragrance is too strong, the fragrance of delicacies will be dull. Especially sweet and sexy aroma will reduce appetite. Therefore, when going to a restaurant, it is basic etiquette to only put perfume below the waist. Especially when attending the American food tasting, we should pay more attention to the use of perfume.
Also, if you attend a tea tasting party, you will burn incense and taste tea in a small teahouse, so don't wear perfume.
(1 1) Sensitive skin can also enjoy the pleasure of perfume.
Some people get itchy or red and swollen when stimulated by alcohol or spices, because perfume is in direct contact with the skin. People who are allergic to cosmetics should also pay attention to perfume allergy. Even people with fragile skin want to enjoy using perfume.
People who can't let perfume directly touch their skin will smell good as long as they put a little perfume on the left and right sides of their skirts.
In addition, you can also use fragrance when ironing clothes.
First, spread a handkerchief or gauze on the ironing rack and spray some perfume. Then put on clothes, and the iron moves one or two centimeters above the clothes. When encountering hot air, alcohol will evaporate with the hot air, and the fragrance will remain on the clothes. This fragrance is softer than that directly applied to the skin, but the lingering fragrance is not easy to disappear.
Or spray perfume on clothes and underwear, but be careful not to leave spots on clothes. If spots are found, deal with them as soon as possible, and there will be no traces left.
In addition, spray some perfume on the decorative handkerchief on the chest or stick a piece of cloth on the back of the brooch, and the faint fragrance will float out from the chest. If you wear a simple pendant, take a piece of cotton and put some perfume in it, the effect is also very good!
Moreover, baby perfumes with low alcohol content, such as "Baby Bear", which are popular in recent years, are also favored by consumers with particularly sensitive skin. Would you like to have a try?
(12) How to preserve perfume?
Perfume will deteriorate when it comes into contact with air or sunlight, and it is a very sensitive "creature". So you must use and save it carefully.
When using touch perfume, touch it directly with your fingers, and the dirty things on your fingers are likely to enter the perfume and stain it. I suggest you add a shower nozzle.
Perfume will not be toxic to the body if it is kept for a long time, but the fragrance will evaporate. So please use the perfume as soon as possible after opening it.
Perfume is best stored in a cool place, avoiding direct sunlight, direct light and high temperature places such as ovens and microwave ovens. In addition, places with high humidity, such as toilets, can also cause moisture to enter the perfume and make it deteriorate. So the safest place is to put the perfume in the perfume box, and then put it in a cool place to ensure that the perfume is not easy to deteriorate.
If it is a special perfume, if you want to keep it for a long time, wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator, which will probably last for 10 years. Plastic wrap is used to prevent the smell of perfume from being introduced into food. If the perfume is stored properly, it can be preserved for one or two years after opening. However, once the perfume is opened, it will deteriorate with time and environment, so it should be used frequently to avoid unnecessary losses.
If the perfume has the following phenomena, then
It has gone bad, please don't use it any more. The usual feature is that the color of perfume will become darker, even precipitation will occur, and the fragrance may turn sour. It stinks.
The most nerve-racking thing is that a perfume will inevitably get tired after being used for a long time. It will be a waste to throw it away, but it won't be used again. What should I do? You can use it as air fragrance and spray it in the room or closet. Isn't it better?
Used perfume bottles can be used for flower arrangement, bottles with nozzles, or as nozzles, or these beautiful perfume bottles can be used as indoor decorations.
The use of office perfume
(1) Avoid completely sweeping away femininity.
Some people think that feminine perfume is unbearable, so put on masculine perfume and go to work! In fact, this idea is very dangerous. Some men with vicious mouths smell your masculinity and even ask, "Where did you spend the night last night?" And once you start abusing men's perfume, it will have a strange smell similar to men's hair oil and need special care. But if you present it in another way, such as using neutral but fresh perfume, you can exude elegant temperament and give people the impression of nobility and taste!
2 elegant and fragrant office favorite.
According to the survey, almost all the perfumes that can be praised in the office are consistent with the expected effect, such as elegant, fresh and soft floral fragrance, or green flowers and floral notes are all popular perfumes.
(14) Novices who use perfume should start with floral notes.
People who have just started using perfume suggest that you study perfume well. Before you master the use of perfume, it is easier to start with natural fragrance, such as floral or citrus fragrance. Gentle, gentle fragrance, if used too much, it won't be a big problem.
In addition, when you are not used to using perfume, buying perfume with distinctive personality may also lead to the result of abandonment.
So when you start using perfume, you'd better use a lighter cologne or eau de toilette first. When you master the simple and refreshing fragrance, then gradually use the perfume with strong fragrance, which is the basic way to learn to use perfume.
In addition, in order to cultivate your ability to distinguish high-grade perfume, it is also a good idea to buy high-grade perfume when you start to learn to use perfume. For example, in the world of music, beginners can't be banned from listening to classical songs, and learning to use perfume is the same.
High-grade perfume, even a simple fragrance, is a fragrance specially selected by perfumers and carefully blended. If we can understand what a good fragrance is, it will be helpful for the appreciation of perfume in the future.
