Application and care
How far away to hold perfume bottle
Use the distance recommended for the exact perfume and applicator rather than treating one centimetre figure as universal. The aim is a controlled application to the intended area without spraying the face, other people or nearby objects.
A HUME Fragrance buying guide

Read the nozzle directions
Atomizers vary in spray pattern and output. A compact sample may behave differently from a full bottle.
Check direction before use
Orient the nozzle toward the intended application area in a suitable private setting. Avoid using shared air to test it.
Do not chase a cloud
A large airborne mist is not required for effective personal use. Follow directions instead of adding a walk-through ritual.
Try this before you buy
Read the applicator instructions and identify the nozzle direction before the first appropriate use.
