Let's talk about perfume etiquette because smelling good is nice… but knowing when to stop is even nicer. 😂😭
Have you ever entered a room and immediately knew someone had applied perfume?
Not because they walked past you…
You knew from the entrance. 😭😂
Your perfume should make people think:
"Hmm, somebody smells really good." 🤌🏽
Not:
"Please, who opened a whole perfume shop in this room?" 😂😂
So here are a few simple perfume etiquette rules:
🤍 1. Don't overapply.
You don't need half the bottle to prove that you smell good. Especially in enclosed spaces like offices, classrooms, churches or public transport.
🤍 2. Think about where you're going.
A fragrance that works for a night out may be too much for a small office or a crowded room. Consider the people around you.
🤍 3. Give people some personal space.
Your perfume should be discovered when someone gets close—not from three seats away. 😂
🤍 4. Be careful around people with sensitivities.
Some people are sensitive to fragrance. If you're going somewhere enclosed, keeping your application moderate is considerate.
🤍 5. Don't use perfume to cover poor hygiene.
Perfume is the finishing touch, not the bath. 😭😂
Clean body first. Fragrance second.
🤍 6. Don't spray someone else without asking.
I know you love your perfume, but please don't turn your friend's body into your testing ground. 😂
At the end of the day, good perfume etiquette is about balance.
Smell good.
Feel confident.
Leave an impression.
But don't make everybody in the room experience your fragrance whether they asked for it or not. 😂🤍
