You may have heard experts say that shaving under your arms is a bad idea. However, it might seem like an innocent addition to your perfume ritual to spritz some on your wrists, behind your ears, and then on your armpits. After all, if you can put deodorant under there, why not perfume? The answer might surprise you.
The skin on your armpits is sensitive and the sweat glands could get irritated by the chemical-laden perfume (via Reader's Digest). Also, your armpit skin is porous and holds the scents for a long amount of time, which means the irritating substances can stay on the surface for more than 24 hours, per Alexandria Fragrances.
It's best to stick to the pulse points instead when it comes to applying scent. Go for the wrists, neck, and even behind your knees. You won't irritate the skin there and the fragrance will last a lot longer too.
