The Art of Applying Attar by Arf Arabia
At Arf Arabia, our perfume oils are not just fragrances; they are a journey into the world of elegance, tradition, and luxury. To fully immerse yourself in the exquisite experience of our finely crafted attars, it is essential to know how to apply them correctly. Here is your guide to making the most of every drop:
1. Embrace the Pulse Points
Pulse points are warm areas of the body where the blood vessels are closest to the skin, enhancing the diffusion and longevity of a scent. For a truly captivating aroma that lingers all day, apply Arf Arabia attar to these key points:
• Wrist: Dab a small drop on each wrist. Avoid rubbing them together, as this can compromise the integrity of the fragrance.
• Neck: A touch behind the ears or along the sides of the neck ensures a subtle yet enchanting sillage.
• Inner Elbows and Behind the Knees: These lesser-known pulse points are ideal for warmer climates, allowing the fragrance to release gradually and gracefully.
2. Luxuriate in Fragrant Hair
Your hair is a fantastic carrier for fragrance, creating a trail of scent with every movement. Apply a drop of attar to your palms, gently rub them together, and pass them through your hair. To protect sensitive scalps, dilute the attar with a few drops of a carrier oil.
3. Envelop Your Garments in Scent
For a lasting impression, apply Arf Arabia attar to your garments. Be mindful of the rich, concentrated nature of our attars; a little goes a long way. We recommend applying to the inner side of collars, cuffs, or scarves, where the fabric can hold the fragrance without the risk of staining.
4. Craft Your Signature Scent
Elevate your fragrance game by blending Arf Arabia attars with other oils or perfumes, a practice known as mukhallat. This allows for a bespoke scent that is as unique as you are. Apply your personalized blend to pulse points or fabric for a distinct olfactory experience.
5. Carry the Essence with You
To keep your scent fresh throughout the day, place a few drops of attar on a cotton ball or tissue and tuck it into your pocket, purse, or handbag. This method provides a gentle, refreshing fragrance that accompanies you wherever you go.
6. Master the Art of Layering
Layering scents is an art form that adds depth and complexity to your fragrance profile. Start with an Arf Arabia attar as a base, followed by a spritz of your favorite perfume. This creates a harmonious blend that evolves beautifully throughout the day.
