Fragrance Oils and the Pulse Points You Need to Apply Them On

If you love perfume but want a longer-lasting, natural scent experience, fragrance oils might be your best friend. Unlike alcohol-based sprays, fragrance oils offer a richer, deeper aroma that stays close to the skin and lasts all day. But did you know that where you apply your fragrance oil makes a big difference in how it smells and lasts?

Pulse points are areas on your body where blood vessels are close to the skin. These spots emit more heat, which helps fragrance oils release their aroma slowly and effectively. Knowing the right pulse points to target can transform your scent experience.

Here are the key pulse points to apply fragrance oils:

Wrists: A classic spot for perfume application. Gently dab fragrance oil on your wrists, but avoid rubbing them together, as it can break down the scent.

Neck and Behind the Ears: These areas warm up easily and are close to your nose, allowing the scent to remain noticeable yet subtle.

Inner Elbows: A less common but effective spot where warmth helps release the fragrance without overwhelming

Behind the Knees: Especially good if you want your scent to rise as you move subtly.

Fragrance oils absorb into the skin, providing a personal scent aura rather than a strong spray cloud. This makes them ideal for individuals sensitive to alcohol-based perfumes or those seeking an elegant, understated aroma.

At Oura Scents, our alcohol-free fragrance oils are designed for application on pulse points to achieve maximum effect. Our water perfumes and muattar oils blend luxurious ingredients to give you a refined scent experience that’s perfect for daily use or memorable moments.

Pro tip: Moisturize your skin lightly before applying fragrance oil to help lock in the scent longer.

Try experimenting with different pulse points and fragrances to find what suits your personality best. Whether it’s a soft floral or rich oud, fragrance oils give you the freedom to create your own signature scent that lasts all day.
