Many people have seen the movie "Scent of a Woman," in which the male protagonist, despite being blind, gradually learns to judge a person's characteristics through the scent of perfume. This shows that perfume is an important calling card for a person. So, what taboos should we pay attention to when using perfume?
Avoid spraying directly onto the skin
When using perfume, it is important to avoid spraying it directly onto the skin, especially if the skin has been applied with lotion or moisturizer. This can easily affect the effectiveness of the perfume. Moreover, in summer, spraying perfume directly onto the skin can result in an unpleasant mixture of sweat and perfume odors.
Avoid spraying directly onto the hair
When spraying perfume, it is important to avoid spraying it directly onto the hair. Perfume contains a high amount of chemicals that may affect the quality of the hair. If perfume comes into contact with the scalp, it may even cause dermatitis. It is better to spray perfume onto the hands and then gently apply it to the hair.
Avoid spraying onto fur clothing
When spraying perfume, it is important to avoid spraying it onto fur clothing. Firstly, the alcohol content in perfume can easily strip away the natural shine of fur. Secondly, the mixture of perfume scent and the odor of fur clothing can easily diminish the effectiveness of the perfume.
Avoid long-term storage after opening the perfume
Perfume contains alcohol, and if it is left unused for a long time after opening, it can easily evaporate due to factors such as temperature and light exposure.
Avoid wearing jewelry before applying perfume
For those who like to wear jewelry, it is important to avoid applying perfume after wearing jewelry. The pigments, alcohol, and fragrance oils in perfume can damage the jewelry. For example, pearl jewelry can turn yellow, and diamonds or gold jewelry can lose their luster.
Avoid using highly concentrated perfume while applying makeup
If you use highly concentrated perfume while applying makeup, the fragrance can be overpowering and cause a feeling of disgust. Moreover, the fragrance in the perfume may cause allergies, and certain chemicals in the perfume can lead to discomfort such as headaches, dizziness, and abdominal pain. This is particularly important for people who are already prone to allergies.
