Smooth onto clean skin after a shower or bath, while skin is still slightly damp, for soft, hydrated skin and a gentle, calming scent.
For a stronger Pakalana fragrance, more reminiscent of perfume, follow with our Pakalana Hydrating Body & Hair Mist. The lotion helps the Chinese violet mist absorb into the skin much more quickly.
Use our Pakalana Roller Perfume throughout the day to add more fragrance on pulse points. Want more tips? Read our guide: The Art of Fragrance Layering.
