'Pulse points' are where blood vessels are closest to the skin; giving off more heat and acting like mini fragrance pumps. Pulse point areas include the wrist, behind the ear, base of the throat, inside of the elbow, and behind the knee. Applying perfumes to pulse points, such as the wrist or neck, tend to make the scent last longer. However, don't rub your wrists together after you apply fragrance. This can flatten the scent.

Perfumes are applied to all pulse areas, not only wrists and the neck area, but those are the most common spots used. Skin is warmer where blood vessels are close to skin, known as pulse points. These include the base of the throat, behind the ears, inside wrists and crook of the arm, behind the knees and ankles. Many prefer to keep their fragrance light and apply it on the back of their hands or shoulders. Another technique is to spary fragrance into the air and walk into the mist, capturing the smell in their hair and clothes lightly.
