Usage Guide

How to apply perfume or wear perfume

Welcome to our guide on how to use Myst & Musk’s oil-based perfumes effectively. Our fragrances are highly concentrated, designed to deliver a rich, long-lasting scent with minimal application. Because of their formulation, the spray may dispense more directly than standard alcohol-based perfumes. Understanding the correct way to apply them will enhance both performance and safety.

Understanding Your Oil-Based Perfume

Oil-based perfumes are more concentrated than traditional sprays. They evaporate slowly, allowing the scent to remain on the skin and clothing for extended periods. A smaller amount is needed to achieve a noticeable and long-lasting fragrance. The focused spray output is normal and ensures efficient use.

Safety Guidelines

To ensure safe and comfortable use, please keep the following points in mind:

  • Patch Test: Apply a small amount on the inner arm before first use to check for sensitivity.
  • Avoid Eyes and Sensitive Areas: Do not spray near the eyes, mucous membranes, or broken skin.
  • Use in Open Areas: Applying in well-ventilated spaces helps avoid an overly concentrated scent.
  • Clothing Care: Avoid delicate or light fabrics that may show oil marks.

Applying on Pulse Points

Pulse points naturally emit warmth, helping the fragrance diffuse more effectively. Recommended areas include:

  • Inner wrists: Apply lightly and allow the scent to settle.
  • Elbow creases: Helps the fragrance release as you move.
  • Behind the ears: Offers a subtle scent around the head and neck.
  • Neck and décolletage: Provides long-lasting diffusion as the scent interacts with your skin.

Applying to Hands and Clothing

For a softer application, spray a small amount on your hands, rub lightly, and tap onto clothing or outerwear. Avoid direct spraying on delicate fabrics. This method helps the scent disperse evenly without overwhelming intensity.

Optimal Usage and Technique

Because of the concentration, use only 1–2 sprays per pulse point. If the spray feels too direct, apply to your hands first and then dab onto the skin. This helps maintain control over the scent strength.

Increasing Longevity

To make the fragrance last even longer, consider these tips:

  • Apply after showering when the skin is slightly damp.
  • Use an unscented lotion beforehand to help lock in the fragrance.
  • Reapply sparingly after several hours if needed.

Do’s and Don’ts

Do:

  • Store perfumes in a cool, dark place.
  • Apply on pulse points for best results.
  • Use small amounts to avoid overpowering the scent.
  • Apply in well-ventilated areas.

Don’t:

  • Apply on irritated or broken skin.
  • Spray excessively in confined areas.
  • Use on delicate light-coloured fabrics without testing.
  • Share personal perfume bottles for hygiene reasons.

Notes on Concentrated Sprays

Oil-based perfumes may dispense in a quick, focused stream. Hold the bottle a few inches from the skin for controlled application. Gently pat the area to help the scent settle naturally.

Final Thoughts

Using Myst & Musk perfumes correctly enhances both longevity and comfort. Applying small amounts on pulse points, hands, or outer clothing ensures a balanced and lasting scent throughout the day. Proper application helps maintain a refined fragrance experience without overwhelming your surroundings.
