How to Apply Attar and Perfume for Maximum Lasting and Projection?
Aug
At Al-Majid Perfumes, we believe that fragrance is more than just a scent — it’s a personal signature. Whether you’re using our premium attars or luxurious spray perfumes, proper application makes a big difference in how long your scent lasts and how well it projects.
How to Apply Attar (Oil-Based Perfume)
Attars are highly concentrated, alcohol-free fragrances crafted with aromatic oils. Their strength and purity mean correct application is key to enjoying their depth and longevity.
Step-by-Step Attar Application
- Start with Your Wrist or Palm: Take a generous amount of attar on your wrist or the palm of your hand.
- Dab Lightly on Pulse Points: Apply gently to your neck, behind your ears, or other pulse points. These warm areas help the scent diffuse naturally.
- Apply to Clothes via Wrist or Palm: Avoid applying directly from the bottle to clothes. Instead, first apply it to your wrist, then gently dab both hands and lightly pat the fragrance onto your shirt collar, shoulders, and chest area. This prevents stains and distributes the fragrance evenly.
- Repeat for Intensity: For stronger projection and longer-lasting scent, reapply on both wrists and clothes.
Pro Tip: Attars can last 4–6 hours or more depending on body chemistry, fabric type, and weather. In warmer climates, applying to both skin and clothes ensures a balanced projection and longevity.
How to Apply Perfume (EDP & Extrait)
Spray perfumes combine aromatic oils with alcohol, giving them excellent projection. The right spraying technique can turn a short-lived fragrance into an all-day experience.
Step-by-Step Perfume Application
- Target Pulse Points First: Hold the bottle 5-7 inches away and spray your neck, wrists, and behind your ears.
- Spray Clothing for Extra Longevity: Apply to your shirt collars, shoulders, chest, and biceps for a scent that lasts longer.
- Use the Right Distance: Spraying too close creates wet spots, while too far wastes product. Maintain a short but comfortable distance for an even mist.
- Layer for Stronger Impact: For a more powerful scent trail (sillage), spray lightly over clothes and pulse points again after a few hours.
Pro Tip: Avoid rubbing perfume into your skin as it can break down the fragrance molecules and change the scent profile.
