HOW TO APPLY EXTRAIT

The Aemlie Ritual of Perfume

Extrait is a precious, concentrated form of fragrance.
It deserves a slow, intentional application ritual — one that enhances longevity, diffusion, and the intimate aura that makes extrait so special.

1. Apply to Pulse Points (But Not All at Once)

Pulse points radiate warmth and help extrait bloom.

Apply to 1–3 of the following:

  • Inner wrists

  • Inner elbows

  • Base of the throat

  • Behind ears

  • Behind the knees

  • At the waistline

Tip: Less is more. Extrait is powerful.

2. Do Not Rub Your Wrists

Rubbing crushes top notes and disrupts the perfume structure.
Let the perfume settle naturally.

3. Try the “Cloud Method”

For a lighter aura:

  1. Spray once into the air.

  2. Step into the cloud.

This creates a soft, diffused glow.

4. Apply to Clothing (If Safe)

Most extrait formulas are safe on fabric.
On fabric, scent lasts 48+ hours.

Apply lightly to:

  • Scarves

  • Coats

  • Knitwear

Avoid: silk, suede, or delicate materials.

5. Layering Ritual (The Aemlie Way)

For those layering multiple scents:

Rule:
Pair a strong base with a bright top.

Examples:

  • Amber + White Floral

  • Vanilla + Citrus

  • Sandalwood + Peony

Aemlie’s extrait system is designed so that any two scents can layer into a personal atmosphere.

6. Moisturised Skin Keeps Fragrance Longer

Apply unscented lotion or Aemlie body cream before spraying.
Perfume binds better to hydrated skin.

7. Use Fewer Sprays With Extrait

Recommended:

  • Day: 1–2 sprays

  • Evening: 2–3 sprays

  • Events: 3–4 sprays (max)

Extrait is slow-burning — it grows stronger as hours pass.

8. The 30cm Rule

Spray from 25–30 cm away.
This distributes the droplets evenly and prevents saturated spots.

9. The Hair Application

A single mist into hair creates a soft, trailing aura.

Pro tip:
Spray onto a brush, not directly onto hair (alcohol can dry it).

10. Storage Ritual

To maintain purity:

  • Keep bottles upright

  • Avoid direct sunlight

  • Store in a cool place

  • Seal caps tightly

Correct storage can extend fragrance life for years.

Final Line

Extrait is not just applied — it is experienced.
Wear it with intention, and let it become your atmosphere.
