But only a few know about wearing perfumes like a real Parisian girl. Although French perfumes are among the most famous ones in the whole world, we know to little on this topic.

Today we’re not going to discuss French fragrances, but the art of applying them in a proper way. Do you know that even a dolce and gabbana perfume can have a different scent if applied in a wrong way? That’s why perfumes is a topic French women take seriously. And what about you?

Perfumes: Where to Buy and How to Wear

Before discussing the art of applying and wearing perfumes properly, let’s talk about the fragrance itself. Where do you get the fragrances from? And how big is your collection?

The 21st century is a very interesting one. It concerns the perfumes we wear as well. Statistics show that millennials are more interested in changing their perfumes during the day instead of finding the right one and stick to it all the time. In fact, the process of finding your perfect perfume can be very annoying (and expensive, of course). Even the smallest bottle of original French or Italian perfume can cost a lot. At the same time, finding your signature scent has become a lot easier. How?

There is one company on the market, which has found the solution to the problem of spending hundreds of dollars on perfumes only. Have you ever heard of Scentbird? If you know nothing about them, then you’ve missed a lot, or wasted a lot on perfumes, which you probably don’t even wear.

A Scentbird is a subscription service, which allows you to order a small package of several perfumes, try all of them by wearing in a daily life, seeing how it goes and whether do you like a particular scent or not. This is a new-age service, which allows your perfume collection to grow without spending thousands of dollars on it. For example, you don’t want to buy a full-sized expensive bottle of dolce & gabbana perfumes because you’re not sure how you’re going to feel about a particular scent at the end of the day or during a warm season.

So, you go to Scentbird website, register, subscribe and get a monthly sample box to test the perfumes you like. You pay only 15$ dollars a month and get a package full of different fragrances, which can be easily changed for each season. You get to pick any perfume you want and Scentbird will send you 30-day supply each month to try absolutely different perfumes to check what’s new and interesting on the market.

Scentbird is definitely a budget-friendly space. So, if you feel you would like to try a few new fragrances each month without spending too much, definitely check what the company offers.

And now let’s have a look how to wear those fragrances to get the most out of them.

How to Apply Perfumes like a Parisian

There are different factors, which influence the smell of the perfume and the period it lasts. Different skin has a different reaction to different fragrances. So, wearing a fragrance is a very individual thing.

Normally a fragrance lasts about three or four hours. After this, it has to be reapplied for a richer scent. There is one trick on how to make your fragrance last longer. Just use a body cream before.
Bright citrus fragrances are quite sharp and elegant. So, they can be used for a day at work.
If the scent is light, you can go ahead and slightly mist yourself. This is how perfumes for the day can be worn.
If your perfume is stronger, two-three sprays are enough. Concentrate on the pulse points and especially the neck.
If it is a very concentrated smell, one good spray can be enough.
Don’t rub the hands. This will crush the scent, so you will lose the most beautiful notes in it.
For a night out, apply perfume on the pulse points as you’ve done it in the morning, and at the back of your head.You can also apply perfumes behind the ears underneath the jawline. So, when you kiss someone’s cheek due to French etiquette, he or she will smell your perfume. If you want to smell stronger, you can also apply the scent on the inside of the elbows and behind the knees.

Now you know how to apply and wear perfume like a real Parisian woman. Definitely check the official website of the company, which we’ve been talking above https://www.scentbird.com/ to order your first package of fragrances with a discount. What scent would you like to try first?
