All my life I have heard about putting perfume on pulse points, and the reason behind it. Now that I've been testing frags myself, I am beginning to think this might be one those myths that gets going, it sounds good, and nobody questions it. For example, fragrance on my wrists is often face down at a desk, it can rub against my pants as I walk, and it transfers to the inside of my shirt sleeve cuffs. But on the back of my hand, it evaporates much more freely and is less likely to get transferred to other things. Â*Also, is the skin temperature so much different that it amounts to a hill of beans? Maybe not. But if it is, do I always want my fragrance pumping out at the highest possible rate. I might not. I might want it to develop more slowly.
I should add that I'm not saying pulse points are silly. I'm just questioning this because I think there are pros and cons to these traditional points, and they just might not deserve holy grail status.
