Why a Winter Fragrance Matters
You may be wondering what makes a fragrance suitable for winter and why you should invest in one? Perfumes are not only the perfect way to express your style and emotions, they’re also a reflection of the season's natural beauty. The right fragrance with the right notes will leave you feeling warm and comforted in the cold weather.
How to Make the Most of Your Winter Fragrance
We know that investing in a new fragrance is a significant decision, and you want to ensure you get the most out of your purchase. Here are some simple tips to help you maximise your perfume’s longevity and impact:
Pulse Point Application
Apply directly to your pulse points (wrists, neck and back of knees) to increase the longevity of your perfume. At these points, your blood vessels are closest to the surface of your skin and naturally generate the most heat increasing projection. Avoid rubbing your wrists together and let the fragrance settle naturally.
Top Tip: Apply your fragrance to your scarf and clothes for extra staying power.
Scent Your Hair
Compliment your chosen winter fragrance with a hair mist elevate your experience and leave you smelling irresistible from head to toe. The Electimuss London Hair Mists are available in two of our best-selling scents, Imperium and Mercurial Cashmere and have Keratin, Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil and Panthenol Pro-Vitamin B5 - so you can be sure your hair not only smells great, it feels it also.
Keep Your Skin Moisturised
The frosty temperatures can be your skin's worst enemy, leaving it feeling dull and dry. Add in a fragrance-free moisturiser to your scent routine ensuring your skin is silky smooth. Moisturised skin helps the fragrance molecules lock in and creates a smooth surface for perfume to distribute evenly on, making your fragrance last even longer.
Top Tip: Moisturise 3-5 minutes after your shower to lock in moisture on your skin’s surface to create the ideal base for your fragrance.
Longevity in Winter Perfumes
In the depths of winter, you need to know your fragrance will stand the test of time. Significant temperature changes and an excess of layers can directly affect the longevity of the fragrance molecules. Seek scents that are pure parfum/extraits to ensure your winter fragrance stays with you from morning to night.

Match Your Fragrance to Your Mood
Fragrance is a way of expressing a part of your inner self and is an extension of you and your personality. It’s well-known that particular notes can influence and elevate your mood. A lighter fresh scent has the ability to uplift and energize, while a deeper and more intense scent can create a sense of warmth and intimacy.
