The safest way is to apply the perfume to your body before getting dressed. Spray it on your neck, wrists, and the areas that get the most heat (chest, inside of elbows). Let it dry completely - a few seconds is enough - before putting on your shirt or blouse. This way the alcohol in the spray doesn't come into direct contact with the fabric and there's no risk of staining or damaging it.
If you really want to apply it to your clothes, do it from at least 20 or 30 centimeters away, and only on less visible spots or where stains won't be noticed - like the inside of the collar or the back. The spray doesn't leave permanent marks on resistant fabrics (cotton, wool), but on delicate clothes or very light colors it can create damp patches or even leave a slightly darker residue while it dries. It really depends on the type of fabric.
The truth is there's a trick some people use: spray the clothes from a distance while they're already on your body, but only on the neck and chest area. Let them air out overnight and in the morning the scent stays but without any sign of moisture. The thing is to experiment with something you don't mind ruining until you figure out what works best with your clothes.
Spraying on your body before getting dressed is really the safest way, but there are some extra tricks if you need to apply after you're already dressed. I usually do it like this: I spray from a few centimeters away (like 20-30cm), in a well-ventilated area, and let the fabric dry naturally before leaving the house. The secret is not to soak it - one or two sprays spaced out are enough. If it's a more delicate fabric, I keep extra distance or apply it somewhere less visible first to test it out.
Another thing that works really well is applying the perfume to your phone, hair, or even your pants (the waistband usually absorbs it well without leaving a mark). Some people swear by the technique of spraying it in the air and then "walking into" the perfume cloud - technically the fabric ends up way less saturated. There's also the classic method of applying it to your wrists and then lightly rubbing it on your neck or sleeves, but that leaves more visible residue if the spray is very pigmented.
Overall, the more time you have before leaving the better - if you can let it dry for 5 or 10 minutes, the product has already set and the risk of staining is practically zero. And yeah, ventilation makes all the difference; a closed room leaves everything too concentrated and sticky.
