Applying ittar, also known as attar or perfume oil, is an art that requires a delicate touch to fully appreciate its fragrance without overpowering the senses. Here are the 7 right ways to apply ittars:

1. Clean Skin: Ensure your skin is clean and free from any other fragrances before applying ittar. This allows the scent of the ittar to develop and interact naturally with your body chemistry

2. Choose the Pulse Points: Identify the pulse points on your body where the skin is warmer and the blood vessels are closer to the surface. Common pulse points include the wrists, neck, behind the ears, the shoulder blades and the inner elbows

3. Use a Small Amount: Ittars are highly concentrated, so a little goes a long way. Dip a clean finger into the bottle or use a glass wand or a dropper to extract a small amount of ittar. A drop or two should suffice for each application

4. Dab, Dab, Dab: Gently dab or pat the ittar onto your pulse points rather than rubbing it in. Rubbing is not recommended and must be avoided

5. Layering Technique: For a longer-lasting fragrance, consider layering the ittar. Apply a small amount to your pulse points, then lightly mist the same areas with an unscented lotion or body oil before reapplying the ittar. This helps to lock in the scent

6. Avoid Overapplication: Ittar tends to be potent, so resist the temptation to apply too much. Start with a small amount and add more if needed, keeping in mind that the scent will develop and intensify over time 

7. Consider Hair and Clothing: If desired, you can also apply a small amount of ittar to your hair or clothing for a subtle fragrance that lingers throughout the day. However, be cautious as some ittars may stain fabrics.

These are some of the basics using which you can enjoy the exquisite fragrance of ittars while ensuring that it remains subtle and sophisticated, enhancing your overall aura and persona.
