Traveling is one of life’s greatest pleasures. Whether you are jet-setting to your favorite beach destination or spending a weekend exploring a new city, you may want to pack your favorite fragrances in order to smell amazing no matter where you go. But packing and applying fragrance correctly can be a tricky business. Here are a few tips to help you make sure you bring the right fragrance for your travels and get the most out of it while you’re away.
When planning your travels it’s important to consider which fragrance to take and how much of it you should bring. If you are going to be on the move for an extended period of time, it’s best to stick to a smaller size perfume or eau de parfum rolling. These typically come in handy 10ml or 15ml bottles that can fit in even the most space-conscious suitcases and handbags. One drawback with these scents is that they don’t have the same longevity as their bigger counterparts. If you know you’ll be mostly travel around the same area and not be too active, a larger bottle of perfume or eau de toilette will be better suited for the task.

When it comes to packing your fragrance of choice, be sure to place it in an appropriate container. Fragrance bottles should never come in contact with direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, so they should be kept in a dark, secure place. Also, most perfumes and other fragrances require regular movement of their internal mechanisms to ensure they stay potent. This is true of rolling fragrances as well. If you plan on bringing a large bottle, it may require special packing materials such as bubble wrap material or foam to secure it and maintain the shape of the bottle.

Once you’ve reached your destination, you may find that the atmosphere or climate can be a challenge for maintaining your scent. To make sure you get the most out of your fragrances, try applying them in a few different ways. If you have a rolling, spray-on scent, it is best to apply it to your pulse points such as your wrists and neck. Placing fragrance on clothing is an option, but keep in mind that the scent will likely be short-lived and even fade by the end of the day. And if you’re heading to a warm climate or a beach locale, it’s best to apply your fragrance when your skin is dry.

Finally, when it’s time to pack up and go home, it’s important to properly care for any remains of your fragrance. If you have leftover product, decant it and place it in a vial or other small container. Clean the root of your scent bottle and container, and make sure they are properly secured in the event that they move while traveling. And if you need to pack them all together, wrap each one individually in newspaper or tissue paper to avoid any chipped glass or spills.
