Want Your Perfume to Last Longer? 5 Tips for Proper Application

A quick spritz of your favorite perfume isn’t enough to keep the fragrance lingering throughout the day. From bodily factors like sweat, body heat, and friction, to environmental elements like humidity and dust, your perfume can fade quickly—no matter how high-end the scent.

Here’s how to make it last:

Moisturize Your Skin: Apply fragrance on hydrated skin. Perfume lasts longer on moisturized skin than on dry skin.

Target Pulse Points: Apply perfume to your wrists, neck, and behind the ears, where blood vessels are close to the skin.

Do Not Rub Your Wrists Together: Rubbing can break down the scent molecules and make it fade faster.

Layer Your Fragrance: Use matching scented body lotion or shower gel to enhance longevity.

Consider Clothing: Lightly spritz perfume on clothes (test first) to help the scent linger without being overpowering.

By following these simple steps, your perfume will not only last longer but also leave a subtle, lasting impression wherever you go.
