Have you ever experienced applying your favorite perfume in the morning and feeling like the scent has completely vanished by lunchtime? You're not alone – it's a common issue that many perfume lovers encounter. The good news is that the solution often isn't that the perfume is of poor quality, but rather in the way we use it.
Proper application can significantly extend the fragrance's longevity, enhance its intensity, and allow you to enjoy it all day long. Let's look at some tips and tricks that can help you get the most out of your perfume.
1. Apply on pulse points
Pulse points are areas on the body where the skin is warmest – the warmth helps the fragrance develop better and gradually release.
- Best spots:
-
wrists,
-
neck and behind the ears,
-
inside of the elbows,
-
cleavage,
-
for women, also behind the knees and ankles.
Tip: If you want the scent to surround you all day, apply perfume to your hair or scarf – but never directly on delicate materials.
2. Less is sometimes more
You might be tempted to spray perfume multiple times to ensure it lasts. However, the truth is the opposite – too much perfume can be overpowering and tiring for both you and those around you.
A quality perfume only needs to be applied 2–4 times. Intense notes will gradually develop and naturally accompany you for hours.
3. Do not rub wrists together
One of the most common mistakes: rubbing wrists together after application. This seemingly innocent habit disrupts the fragrance structure and causes the top notes to evaporate faster.
Just let the perfume dry naturally. This way, it retains its beautiful harmony.
4. Hydration = longer lasting
Fragrance adheres better to hydrated skin. If you have dry skin, the perfume stays on the surface and disappears quickly.
- Tip: Shower before applying and use a fragrance-free body lotion or oil. This way, the scent is better "locked" into the skin and lasts longer.
5. Clothing and hair – yes, but wisely
-
Hair is a great carrier of fragrance, just pass through a gentle fragrant cloud from a distance of 30 cm. Alcohol in the perfume could dry it out, so don't overdo it.
-
Clothing can also retain scent for a long time. Try spraying perfume on a scarf or coat, but avoid sensitive fabrics that alcohol could stain.
6. Proper layering of scents
If you want your fragrance to last even longer, try so-called layering – combining perfume with body lotion, shower gel, or even another perfume.
-
Start with a lighter scent and then apply a heavier one.
-
Combine fresh notes with sweet or woody with citrus.
-
Less is more – two scents are plenty.
7. Storage matters greatly
You might be surprised, but how you store your perfume also affects its longevity. Keep it in a dry, dark place, away from direct sunlight and heat. Ideally, put the bottle back in its box. This way, the perfume retains its properties longer.
