How to Apply Body Fragrance Oils

Body fragrance oils are different from traditional perfumes—they're more concentrated, longer-lasting, and work with your body's natural chemistry to create a unique scent. Here's how to get the most out of your I M P E R I A L Beauty fragrance oils.

The Best Time to Apply

Right After Showering is ideal. Your skin is warm and slightly damp, which helps the oil absorb better and last longer. Pat your skin dry, leaving it slightly moist, then apply your fragrance oil.

Where to Apply

Pulse Points (For Maximum Projection)

Wrists: The classic spot—rub gently, don't crush the scent
Behind Ears: Warmth from this area helps diffuse the scent
Neck & Décolletage: Creates a beautiful scent cloud around you
Inner Elbows: A subtle spot that releases scent with movement
Behind Knees: The scent rises throughout the day

All-Over Application (For Skin Benefits)

Our fragrance oils are infused with nourishing sweet almond oil, so you can apply them all over your body for hydration plus scent:

Arms and legs after showering
Chest and shoulders
Lightly through hair ends (avoid roots)

How Much to Use

Pulse Points Only: 2-3 drops total
Full Body Application: 5-8 drops, warmed between palms first
Hair: 1 drop maximum, applied to ends only

Pro Tips for Long-Lasting Scent

Layer Your Scent: Use unscented lotion first, then apply fragrance oil on top
Don't Rub Wrists Together: This crushes the scent molecules—just dab and let it dry
Store Properly: Keep away from direct sunlight and heat to preserve the scent
Reapply Strategically: Touch up pulse points mid-day for a scent refresh
Let It Settle: Wait 15-20 minutes after applying to experience the true scent—it evolves on your skin
