6 Perfume Mistakes That Could Be Holding You Back

Perfume is one of the most powerful tools in your beauty arsenal. It boosts confidence, enhances your presence, and leaves a lasting impression. But are you wearing yours to its full potential? Avoid these six common fragrance mistakes—and learn how to make your Michel Germain scent truly unforgettable.

1. Spraying Too Much
More isn’t always better. Overapplying can overwhelm you and those around you. Just 2-3 spritzes on pulse points (like your wrists, neck, and décolletage) are enough to make a captivating impact.

2. Rubbing Wrists Together
This is a major no no! Rubbing your wrists after applying perfume can break down the top notes. Let it dry naturally and allow the fragrance to bloom as it was designed to.

3. Sticking to One Fragrance Year-Round
Just like your wardrobe, your scent should change with the seasons. Try lighter, citrusy florals like Sexual Fresh for spring/summer and deeper scents like Sexual Oud Rouge for fall/winter.

4. Not Matching Your Scent to the Occasion
Save intense, seductive scents for evenings (think: Sexual Secret) and opt for airy florals like Sugarful Sunshine during daytime adventures.

5. Spraying on Clothes Instead of Skin
Perfume is made to react with your body heat. For best results, apply to clean, moisturized skin. Avoid spraying directly on fabrics, which can alter the scent or leave stains.

6. Ignoring Fragrance Layering
Don’t be afraid to mix perfumes! Michel Germain scents are designed to be layered. Combine French Pear & Queen’s Lilac with Orange Blossom Garden & French Vanilla for a custom signature blend.
