Gourmand Magic 4 | U-012 and U-029 Unisex Perfume Set

Step 1: Choose the Right Time - Clean and Moist Skin

The ideal time to apply perfume is right after showering.

• Why?After showering, your pores are open and your skin is clean. This allows the perfume to blend better with your skin and the scent to last longer.
• Humidification:After showering, apply an unscented moisturizer or lotion. Moist skin traps perfume molecules better, significantly increasing the fragrance's longevity. This also prevents the alcohol in the perfume from drying out your skin.

Step 2: Identify Strategic Points - Pulse Points

You should apply perfume to your "pulse points," areas where your body emits heat and where blood vessels are closest to the skin. The heat in these areas helps the perfume diffuse its scent gradually throughout the day.

The most ideal pulse points:

• Inside of the wrists:It is one of the most classic and effective points.
• Neck:The indentation just behind your ear and the middle of your collarbone is ideal.
• Inside of the elbows:The wrists are another effective area, too.
• Back of the knees:Especially if you're wearing a skirt or shorts, it allows the scent to spread as you walk.

Step 3: Apply From the Correct Distance

Approximately how far from your skin should you hold the perfume bottle?15-20 cmKeep away and squeeze.

• Why?Spraying too closely will cause the perfume to concentrate in one spot and run down your skin. Spraying from a distance allows the fragrance to distribute evenly over a wider area, creating a more natural layer of scent.

Step 4: The "Frequent and Wait" Rule - Never Rub!

This is one of the most common mistakes. After spraying perfume, especially rubbing your wrists together...Do not rub or scrub.

• Why?Friction creates heat, causing the top notes of the perfume to evaporate very quickly. This distorts the original character of the perfume and reduces its longevity. Just spray and let it dry on its own.

Step 5: Adjust the Quantity - A Little is Good, Too Much is Harmful

The purpose of perfume is for someone passing by to catch a slight whiff of your scent, not for your scent to enter the room before you do.

• Eau de Parfum (EDP):Because it's denser.2-3 puffsIt is enough.
• Eau de Toilette (EDT):Because it's lighter.3-4 puffsapplicable.
• Remember, your own nose gets used to a scent after a while and stops registering it. This doesn't mean your perfume has disappeared; those around you may still be able to smell it.

Extra Tips and Tricks

• Application to Hair:Avoid spraying perfume directly onto your hair, as the alcohol can dry it out. Instead, spray the perfume onto your hairbrush and brush your hair. This will allow the scent to diffuse nicely as you move.
• Application to Clothing:You can spray the perfume directly onto your clothes, especially natural fabrics (cotton, wool) which hold the scent well. However, be careful with delicate fabrics like silk and light-colored garments as there is a risk of staining. You can test it on a small area first.
• Layering Perfume:If your perfume has accompanying products like shower gel and body lotion, using them together will maximize the longevity of the scent.
• Proper Storage:Keep your perfume away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity. The best place is a cool, dark closet. Storing it in the bathroom can damage the perfume's composition due to temperature and humidity fluctuations.

By following these steps, you can get the most out of your perfume and feel great all day long with your signature scent.
