We’ve all been there—spraying perfume in the morning, only for the scent to vanish by midday. If you’re wondering how to make your favorite fragrance last longer, here are some expert tips.
1. Moisturize First
Perfume clings better to moisturized skin. Apply an unscented lotion or a matching body cream before spritzing your fragrance.
2. Apply to Pulse Points
The warmth of your body helps to activate the fragrance. Spray your perfume on pulse points such as your wrists, neck, behind your ears, and inner elbows for long-lasting results.
3. Don’t Rub
It’s tempting to rub your wrists together after applying perfume, but this can break down the fragrance molecules and cause the scent to fade faster. Let the perfume air dry naturally on your skin.
4. Layer Your Scents
For an extra boost of fragrance, layer a matching body wash, lotion, and perfume from the same scent family. This creates a more intense and long-lasting aroma.
5. Store Properly
Keep your perfume in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Exposure to heat and light can cause the fragrance to deteriorate over time.
