Introduction
Perfume is the wearer's invisible signature. It is not merely a cover for scent, but a warm whisper that requires us to carefully locate the body's most perfect "Thermal Amplifiers" so the fragrance can unfold naturally and stably, like a work of art. To achieve precise diffusion and intimate utility, we need the fragrance molecules to continuously and elegantly volatilize, gently propelled by body heat. This is the essence of focusing on the "pulse points."
Ⅰ. Core Points: The Art of Heat-Driven Diffusion (Sillage)
Pulse points are where blood vessels are closest to the skin surface, resulting in slightly higher body temperature. They are the golden spots that activate the perfume, forming the foundation for a stable fragrance silhouette.
| Location | Effect Analysis | Application Trick |
|---|---|---|
| Neck (Carotid Artery) | Highest temperature, strongest projection. This is the key area for scent to waft upwards, surrounding the face and head. It creates the most immediate "First Impression", ensuring your fragrance is instantly perceived. | Suitable for formal occasions or anytime you desire a clear presence. Be sure to maintain distance when spraying for even mist distribution, avoiding an overly concentrated scent. |
| Inner Wrists | Active pulse, dynamic movement. As your arms move, this spot gently pushes the scent into the surrounding air, creating a dynamic and light flow of aroma. | Suitable for daily wear or close interaction. Crucial Tip: Never rub your wrists after spraying! Friction generates heat, which aggressively breaks down the perfume's delicate top notes, shortening its overall life cycle. |
| Behind the Ears | Stable and reserved warmth. This area is relatively concealed with stable temperature, ideal for keeping the scent close to the skin, creating an elegant and close-range gentle aura. | Suitable for dates or moments when you don't want the scent to be overly loud. The fragrance here is like a personal, elegant secret, only heard by those near you. |

Ⅱ. The Extended Whisper: Hidden Spots for Creating Dimensional Scent
Beyond traditional pulse points, modern fragrance art encourages us to boldly explore other areas of the body to create a more layered and poetic scent experience.
1. Inner Ankles
Trick Analysis: Scent molecules follow physics, flowing upwards from lower areas. Applying perfume here allows the fragrance to gently and elegantly rise with your steps, crafting a sophisticated "Bottom-Up" ambiance.
Best Scenario: When wearing skirts, shorts, or any outfit exposing the legs, allowing the fragrance to float with the breeze created by your movement.

2. Hair Ends or Tips
Trick Analysis: Hair strands are natural scent traps. They absorb and retain the aroma without altering the scent profile as skin might. When your head moves, the fragrance will gently sway with the air, releasing a light and long-lasting dry-down.
Practical Advice: Avoid spraying directly on the scalp or roots. The safest and most elegant approach is to spray the perfume onto a comb, or create a perfume cloud in the air and walk through it.

💡 Conclusion: Establishing Your Exclusive Fragrance Ritual
Applying perfume is an act of self-expression, a ritual rather than just a mechanical step. The best method is finding the spots that make you feel the most comfortable and true to your "Self." Take these precise techniques and weave them into your daily life and emotional needs to compose your unique scent story.
Your perfume should serve you, and whisper for you.
