We all love hearing, “Wow, you smell amazing!” But sometimes things go wrong—either because we don’t apply enough perfume or because we use too much, even when we’re wearing the most exquisite fragrance in the world.
At Zimaxx, we want you to always look and smell incredible, so here are 5 mistakes you should never make:
1. Applying too much perfume (don’t bathe in it!)
Some people think that the more perfume they apply, the better they’ll smell—but it’s actually the opposite. When you apply too much, the scent becomes overpowering (and trust us, it can make the people around you uncomfortable).
The trick: 3 to 4 sprays (a couple on the neck and the rest on the wrists) are more than enough to smell amazing all day.
2. Using the same perfume for every occasion
Would you wear snow boots to the beach? Of course not. The same idea applies to perfume.
- In hot weather, choose fresh scents (lemon, floral, or marine notes).
- In cold weather or at night, go for warmer or more intense fragrances.
Tip: Wearing a very sweet perfume in hot weather can even make you feel a bit dizzy.
3. Trying to cover bad odors with perfume
This is a very common mistake. If you’ve been sweating a lot or haven’t showered, spraying perfume over it won’t help. The smell of sweat mixes with the perfume and creates a strange, unpleasant scent.
Remember: perfume always goes on clean skin. It’s the final touch after a good shower!
4. Mixing too many different scents
Sometimes we use a strawberry-scented soap, coconut-scented lotion, floral deodorant, and a vanilla perfume. That’s way too much! Too many different scents end up clashing with each other.
What to aim for: Try to use creams or deodorants with very mild or no scent so your perfume can be the true star.
5. Using non-original perfumes
This is the mistake most likely to cause problems. Fake or low-quality imitation perfumes smell strongly of alcohol, last only a few minutes on the skin, and can even irritate or itch your skin.
The solution: An original perfume will always be your best ally. Investing in quality is always worth it.
