Fragrance Myths Debunked: Separating Truth from Fiction in the Perfume World
There’s a lot of misinformation when it comes to perfume. Let’s separate fact from fiction so you can get the most out of your favorite scents.
Myth #1: Does Rubbing Your Wrists Ruin Perfume?

The Truth: Yes, rubbing your wrists together right after applying perfume can break down the top notes, causing the scent to fade faster.
Expert Tip: Instead of rubbing, spray the perfume on your pulse points and let it dry naturally.
Myth #2: Do Expensive Perfumes Last Longer?

The Truth: Not always. Longevity depends on the concentration of fragrance oils and the ingredients used, rather than just the price tag.
Expert Tip: Look for Eau de Parfum (EDP) if you want a scent that lasts longer than an Eau de Toilette (EDT).
Myth #3: Can Perfume Expire?

The Truth: Yes. Most perfumes last 3-5 years, but exposure to light, heat, and air can speed up their expiration.
Expert Tip: Store your perfumes in a cool, dark place and avoid keeping them in humid environments like the bathroom.
