Understanding Pulse Points
Pulse points are areas on your body where the blood vessels are closest to the skin. These spots emit heat, which helps to diffuse and amplify the fragrance. The primary pulse points include:
- Wrists: One of the most common spots to apply perfume. The warmth here helps to release the scent gradually.
- Neck: Applying perfume on the neck ensures that the scent rises, allowing it to envelop you subtly.
- Behind the Ears: This spot is perfect for an intimate scent trail that is noticeable when someone is close to you.
- Inner Elbows: Ideal for a light, continuous scent diffusion.
- Behind the Knees: This is especially effective for longer-lasting fragrance, particularly when wearing a dress or skirt.
The Maison d'Etto Approach to Fragrance Application
At Maison d'Etto, we believe in the transformative power of fragrance. Our luxury, gender-neutral perfumes are crafted to inspire moments of connection and reflection. To fully experience our scents, such as Rotano or Karat EG, proper application is key.
Steps to Apply Perfume for Maximum Effect
- Start with Clean Skin: Apply perfume right after a shower when your skin is clean and slightly damp. This helps the fragrance adhere better and last longer.
- Moisturize: Use an unscented lotion before applying perfume. Moisturized skin retains scent longer than dry skin.
- Distance Matters: Spray from a distance of about 5-7 inches. This allows the fragrance to disperse evenly without oversaturating one spot.
- Pulse Points Focus: Choose a couple of pulse points to apply your perfume. Overloading every pulse point can create an overwhelming scent cloud.
- Don’t Rub: Avoid rubbing your wrists together after applying perfume. This can break down the fragrance molecules and diminish the scent’s longevity.
- Hair Application: Lightly spray your hair or hairbrush with perfume. Hair holds fragrance well and releases it with movement.
-
Clothing Caution: While it’s tempting to spray perfume on your clothes, be cautious. Some fragrances can stain fabrics, especially delicate ones. Always do a patch test.
Innovative Application Tips
- Layering: Combine different scents for a unique, personalized fragrance experience. Maison d'Etto’s collection is perfect for this, as our scents are designed to complement each other.
- Fragrance Clouds: Walk through a mist of perfume. Spray the fragrance in the air and walk through it to achieve an even, light application.
-
Storage: Keep your perfumes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their integrity and longevity.

The Coco Chanel Philosophy: "Spray Where You Want to Be Kissed"
The legendary Coco Chanel once said, "A woman should wear perfume wherever she wants to be kissed." This timeless advice encapsulates the intimate and personal nature of fragrance. Applying perfume where you want to be kissed not only makes you feel confident and alluring but also enhances the experience for those around you.
Embracing Coco Chanel's Philosophy
Coco Chanel’s approach to perfume application encourages you to think beyond the conventional pulse points. It invites you to personalize your fragrance ritual, making it a more intimate and sensual experience. Here are some key spots to consider:
- Nape of the Neck: This often-overlooked area is perfect for subtle diffusion of fragrance. It’s also an intimate spot that’s revealed during close encounters.
- Collarbones: Highlighting the collarbones with a light mist of perfume draws attention to this elegant part of your body, enhancing your natural allure.
- Inner Thighs: Applying perfume to the inner thighs creates a seductive aura that intensifies with movement and body heat.
-
Back of the Knees: As you move, this spot releases the fragrance, creating a beautiful, trailing scent that lingers in the air.
