Perfume atomizers: Selected picks on how to choose the best perfume atomizer and recommended brands for men!

For men who do not carry bags or pouches, it is no exaggeration to say that a ” perfume atomizer ” is an indispensable item that allows them to easily carry perfume with them. If you are going to go through the trouble of buying one, you will want to choose an atomizer that you like. In this issue, we will introduce everything from basic knowledge on how to choose a perfume atomizer to perfume atomizers recommended by our editorial department.

What is a Perfume Atomizer?

A perfume atomizer, which allows you to carry a small amount of perfume with you, is indispensable for applying perfume at the best time when you are out and about. The word “atomizer” means “mist” or “sprayer. Atomizers were first used in the medical field around 1859, and in the late 1870s, French luxury perfume makers adopted atomizers for perfumes to enhance their fragrance. In Japan today, the term “perfume atomizer” generally refers to all small containers for carrying perfume, including roll-on types that use a rotating roller to apply the perfume, in addition to spray types.

Perfume atomizers are portable containers, not storage containers!

It is important to keep in mind that perfume atomizers are only for portable use and are not designed as storage containers. The rule of thumb is to fill it with the required amount and use it up as soon as possible. If perfume is left in the atomizer for a long period of time, the perfume’s fragrance and color will change significantly due to oxidation, which can cause quality deterioration. Although it depends on the capacity of the perfume atomizer and the amount of perfume used at one time, it is recommended to fill the atomizer up to about the eighth fill at most, and fill it only after it is completely used up.

The rule of thumb is to use different perfume atomizers for different perfumes.

Perfumes are very delicate, so if you are using multiple perfumes, the rule is to use a separate atomizer for each perfume.

An atomizer is essential for applying perfume at the right time!

As you know, each type of perfume has its own fragrance duration, and within the duration, the fragrance changes from “top note,” “middle note,” to “last note” depending on the time elapsed after the perfume is applied. If you only put on perfume when you leave home, you may find that “the fragrance is gone at the critical moment” or “the fragrance does not come out the way you want it to at the right time. It is important to aim for the timing when you want the fragrance to stand out, and to apply or add perfume at the optimal time.

When is the most effective time to use a perfume atomizer?

As mentioned above, perfumes have a duration, and the fragrance changes slowly. The duration of perfume varies depending on the brand of perfume, the part of the body to which it is applied, and the skin type. In order of the concentration of fragrance dissolved in alcohol (fragrance percentage), the following perfumes are listed in descending order: “Parfum,” “Eau de Parfum,” “Eau de Toilette,” and “Eau de Cologne.
Parfum: 5~7 hours
Eau de Parfum: 5 hours
Eau de Toilette: 3~4 hours
Eau de Cologne: 1~2 hours

The key is to decide when to put on perfume after considering the duration of the perfume to be used and the changes in the top, middle, and last. Incidentally, the basic rule for adding perfume is ” to add perfume after the duration of the perfume has ended in accordance with the above duration “, so be careful not to add perfume too soon in a hurry. In addition, it is good manners to refrain from adding perfume before meals, in public, and in confined spaces, as the fragrance is particularly strong immediately after applying perfume due to the volatilization of alcohol. It is a promise to control the timing of perfume application by working backwards from the timing of meals and visits.
A technique recommended for dates with women is to go to the restroom and put on perfume just before leaving the restaurant after the meal. This will not interfere with the meal, and will surely give the impression of a good scent as you walk side by side. If you have been drinking alcohol, your sense of smell will be slightly dulled by the intoxication, so you will not be bothered by the strong fragrance immediately after applying the perfume; in fact, it will be just right.

What material should perfume atomizers be made of?

Plastic is a popular container material because of its low cost, light weight, and resistance to breakage, and many manufacturers of perfume atomizers also use plastic for the bottle portion. However, there are some who say that it is safer to avoid plastic for perfume containers. The reason given by many is that depending on the type of perfume, the resin component may dissolve and cause the perfume to deteriorate. In fact, almost all of the brand’s perfume bottles are made of glass, probably for the reasons mentioned above. Unlike perfume bottles, atomizers are not for preservation, so it may be possible to use them for a short time, but it is safer to choose glass bottles.
