Is it Really Wrong to Rub Your Wrists Together After Applying Your Tapputi?
Truth? Old-wives tale? If you rub your wrists together after applying your Tapputi Egyptian Perfume Oils, do you wreck the scent? Here's the straight facts:
We have heard this from various beauty channels over the years. Some experts make wrist-rubbing sound catastrophic; others laugh it off with a reminder that splitting atoms takes much more than mashing skin to skin.
But, there is a good reason to stop that wrist-rub habit: it changes the way the scent performs on your skin.
Typically, our complex oils are a combination of top notes, middle or heart notes and base notes. Top notes are more delicate, lighter, and dissipate most quickly; base notes are heavier molecules, longer lasting. And if you rub your wrists together right after putting on your favorite Tapputi, you really do spoil those light-molecule top notes. The friction between the perfume and your skin's natural oils "rushes the fragrance," bypassing the opening and going straight to the heart notes.
Catastrophic? No. But when you spend money on your Tapputi fragrance oils and the top notes are what attracted you to the perfume oil in the first place (you have to love the top notes even to consider sampling the juice, right?), why would you skip the first-date stage of your day?
