Spraying perfume into the air and walking through the mist distributes it evenly and gently on skin.

Airborne fragrance particles begin evaporating the moment they leave the nozzle.

By the time they settle — approximately 2 to 4 seconds — the most volatile fraction (the top note compounds) has already begun departing. A significant proportion of the spray never reaches the skin at all; it settles on clothing, the floor, or disperses entirely.

What makes contact is a diluted, partially-evaporated version of the formula, deposited at low concentration. This method wastes Act 1 and deposits Act 2 at reduced strength.

WHAT TO DO INSTEAD

Spray directly onto clean, dry skin at a distance of 10 to 15 centimetres.

Pulse points — inner wrists, base of throat, inner elbows — are warm and aid projection. Chest and neck are optimal for sillage. Avoid the face.

Do not spray onto perfumed moisturiser without testing compatibility first: some fragrance bases interact with scented skin products. One to two sprays of EDP concentration is sufficient for most wear contexts.

More than three sprays in a single application does not extend longevity — it compresses and distorts the Three Acts into a single loud opening.
