Fragrance Care & Rituals
A fine fragrance is a living composition. Proper application and care allow it to unfold its true character and linger beautifully throughout your day.
The Ritual of Application
Applying perfume correctly helps the fragrance unfold naturally.
Pulse Points
Target areas where heat radiates—wrists, neck, behind ears, and inner elbows. This helps diffuse the scent naturally.
The Distance
Hold the bottle 5–7 cm away from your skin. This ensures a fine mist rather than a heavy wet patch.
Dosage
Less is often more. Use 2–4 sprays for an optimal scent trail (sillage) without overpowering the room.
Enhancing Longevity
- Hydrated Skin is Key Apply on clean, moisturised skin. Scent clings better to oil than dry skin.
- The Layering Technique Use an unscented lotion before spraying to lock in the fragrance notes longer.
- Warm Zones Apply to warmer areas of the body where scent diffuses naturally with body heat.
Common Mistakes
- Don't Rub Your Wrists Friction generates heat that breaks down the top notes, altering the scent's character.
- Avoid Fabric & Jewelry Oils and alcohol can stain delicate fabrics or tarnish pearls and metals. Stick to skin.
- The Bathroom Myth Never store perfume in the bathroom. The humidity and heat fluctuations destroy the essence.
Preserving the Essence
Proper storage ensures your fragrance retains its original soul for years.
No Direct Sunlight
Light breaks down chemical bonds. Keep it dark.
Cool & Dry
Heat is the enemy. Store in a cool cupboard or drawer.
Cap It Tight
Prevent oxidation by minimizing exposure to air.
Shelf Life & Quality
Most Veloura fragrances maintain their peak quality for 3–5 years when stored correctly. Slight changes in color over time are natural (due to raw ingredients) and do not affect performance.
Note: Scent performance varies based on individual skin chemistry, climate, and technique. This variation is the beauty of a natural fragrance—it becomes uniquely yours.
