5 unconventional 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.

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.

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.....

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

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)

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.
