Many men like to apply attar to their beard so the scent stays close to the face. It can work, but beard skin is sensitive, so it's worth doing carefully.
Can You Put Attar on Your Beard?
You can apply a tiny amount to the ends of your beard hair, but there are a few things to keep in mind:
- The skin under the beard is sensitive. Concentrated fragrance oil applied directly to that skin can irritate some people.
- It sits close to your nose and mouth, so a strong scent can feel overpowering to you.
- Oil can build up in the beard if used every day without washing.
The Safer Way to Do It
- Put one small dab on your fingertips or palm.
- Rub your palms together lightly.
- Pass your fingers gently through the ends of your beard, not the skin.
- Keep it away from your lips, nose and eyes.
Always test a small amount first. If you notice any redness or itching, stop using it there.
Best Attars for the Beard
Choose soft, clean scents rather than heavy ones: WHITE MUSK, MUSK SILK, SANDAL and OREON work well. Save rich ouds and spicy blends for your wrists and neck.
A Better Alternative
For a scent that stays close to your face without touching sensitive skin, apply attar to the sides of your neck and behind your ears. See how to apply attar properly.
