Where NOT to Spray Perfume

Wearing perfume is an art — but spraying it in the wrong places can ruin the scent, shorten its life, or even irritate your skin.

Let’s talk about where NOT to spray perfume

1. Don’t Spray Directly on Your Hair

It may seem like a good idea, but most perfumes contain alcohol which can dry out your hair.

Better option:

Spray lightly on your brush or use a hair mist instead.

2. Avoid Rubbing on Your Neck

Yes, your neck is a great spot — but don’t rub it in.

This breaks down the fragrance and changes how it smells.

3. Don’t Spray on Dry Skin

Dry skin doesn’t hold fragrance well.

Your perfume will disappear quickly.

Fix:

Always moisturise first.

4. Avoid Over-Spraying Clothes

Perfume on clothes can stain and sometimes smell different than on skin.

Light mist only if needed.

5. Don’t Spray Behind Your Knees (Myth Alert)

You might hear this often, but it’s not always practical —

especially if you're not in a warm environment where scent rises.

6. Avoid Mixing Too Many Scents

Using strong lotion, oil, and perfume together can clash.

Keep it clean and intentional.

7. Don’t Spray Right Before Walking Into the Sun

Some perfumes can react with sunlight and cause skin irritation or marks.

Perfume should enhance you — not overpower you.

The goal is for people to lean in and ask,

“What are you wearing?”
