Your favorite perfume is not just an alluring scent, it is a statement. Whether you like floral, fruity, or woody scents, your signature perfume says a lot about who you are. However, it is kind of a struggle to make it last throughout the entire day, unless you re-apply every couple of hours, but did you know that you might be applying your perfume wrong this whole time?
Yes, it’s a bit surprising for some, but the secret to making your scent linger lies in how you apply your perfume so here are some of our favorite tricks to make it last!
1. Spritz on your pulse points
Applying your perfume on your pulse points like your neck, wrists, and inside your elbows, enhances the longevity and intensity of the scent as pulse points are areas on the body where blood vessels are closest to the skin's surface, generating more heat thus making the scent last more.
2. Dab, don't rub
Most people rub the perfume into their skins, but this will lead to friction and the scent’s molecules will break down. Dabbing allows you to apply the perfume evenly across your pulse points without disrupting the fragrance composition.
3. Hydrate your skin
Apply any kind of unscented moisturizer or petroleum jelly to your skin before spraying your perfume. It will perform better on moisturized skin than on dry skin and will make the scent last longer.
4. Layer your scents
Use matching products to the scent of your perfume, or at least within the same notes family. For instance, if your perfume is sugary, pick a body lotion, shower gel, or body soap that is similar in scent. This will help enhance your perfume’s longevity and intensity because these products often share similar base notes.
5. Store your perfumes properly
Want your fragrances to perform better? Consider keeping them away from any direct sunlight and preserving them in dark, cool places. This storing hack will preserve its freshness and ensure you get the most out of your perfume bottle over time.
