The Best Spots To Spray Perfume

It’s fairly standard to spray perfume on your wrists and neck. But did you know there are several other long lasting – and, well, a little unconventional – spots to spritz your scent? Next time you’re getting ready, forgo your wrists and give these spots a whirl.

#1 Inner thighs

A favourite of Halle Berry, applying perfume on your inner thighs will help to diffuse the fragrance without it becoming overwhelming. Before dressing, spray your favourite scent between your legs. The scent will travel up your body throughout the day, so you’ll smell delightful from morning all the way til night.

#2 Cleavage

If you’re looking to draw in that special somebody – if you know what I mean – spritz your most desirable scent between your breasts. He won’t be able to resist you.

#3 Stomach

A warm body temperature will work to diffuse your perfume, and even release certain notes that aren’t always discernable. Guess what? Your stomach is one of the warmest places on your body. Spray a little fragrance on your stomach for a unique, long-lasting scent.

#4 Hair

Have you noticed how your hair grabs hold of any scent? And you can’t get rid of it until you wash your hair? This is not so great when it’s cigarette smoke, but fabulous when it’s your favourite scent. Give your hair a subtle spritz with one of these hair perfumes before you leave the house or any of the scents below and you’ll turn heads wherever you go.

#5 Back of knees

Like your wrists and neck, the back of your knees is also a pulse point. Spray here, and your body temperature will warm the fragrance, and move it upward so it envelops your entire body.

I used to do all of these except the hair. Back in my single days there was no point in spraying your hair as at the end of the night it would just come out smelling like smoke. Back when smoking was allowed everywhere. The other bonus for the young things (besides not breathing in second hand smoke) is no more cigarette burns in clothes. My sister once had a leather jacket ruined.

Thanks. Spraying your hair is a great idea.

josella432 30 Jun 2017 12:32 PM

I always forget the stomach one.

Sootyhere 20 Jun 2018 12:06 PM

Actually I've never heard of spraying on the stomach but it's worth a try.

josella432 30 Jun 2017 12:29 PM

Shilpashetty 27 Jun 2017 5:30 PM

You need to be careful about your hair, especially if it is damaged, due to the alcohol in most perfumes,

If your not concerned hair is wonderful for keeping smells.

Only spray it on your legs if you haven't just shaved lol

josella432 30 Jun 2017 12:31 PM

Oh ouch! That would be a mistake you wouldn't make twice!

Nicola-Bowen 25 Jun 2017 3:30 PM

Will definitely try these

I usually just spray it on wrists, neck and cleavage (lightly!), but spraying on hair? No. Especially with EDT, it has a lot of alcohol and would dry the hair, surely? Although I do remember Tom Ford had a Black Orchid hair perfume a few years ago.....

Yeah, I use a scented oil on the dry ends of my hair. It smells fab!

Evelyn771 24 Jun 2017 4:00 PM

I have been spraying my cleavage for a while now, but just love the idea of spraying on my inner thighs :)

sootyblack_14 24 Jun 2017 3:00 PM

Nope... I usually spray and walk through... Ha ha!!!

Simonja 23 Jun 2017 8:14 PM

I love spraying perfume on my hair just before I go out.

Chrystalage 23 Jun 2017 8:00 PM

I don't use perfume but do like to dab essential oils on my stomach, chest and back of knees

Beautybabe140194 22 Jun 2017 11:52 AM

Great tips, will have to try some of these out. I currently spray on my cleavage on a night out.

Stephanie2494 21 Jun 2017 9:00 PM

I must say I mainly spray perfume on my clothes anyway. The only other place is on my neck.

Stephanie2494 21 Jun 2017 8:58 PM

I seem to accidentally spray it on my hair (never intentional). I think some of those areas, I just don't think it is a good idea (I would become irritated)

Belindarella 21 Jun 2017 1:59 PM

The model in the picture for this article is stunning by the way! Love that lip colour too!

Belindarella 21 Jun 2017 1:58 PM

Not sure about putting it in hair.. not thighs.. wouldn't thighs rubbing bruise the scent?

Goddess..... 21 Jun 2017 2:37 AM

I'll stick to my wrists & neck as usual. These area's are weird to be putting perfume there. The only other one that would be ok if for circumstances you have a partner or just yourself you can put on your cleavage is ok.
