As a fragrance expert with years of experience in the industry, I've often been asked about how to make perfume last longer. Here are some tips that can help enhance the longevity of your perfume:
1. Skin Preparation: Perfumes last longer on clean, dry skin. Showering before applying perfume can help remove oils and residues that might interfere with the scent.
2. Moisturize: Applying unscented moisturizer before your perfume can help the fragrance adhere better to your skin and last longer.
3. Pulse Points: Apply perfume to your pulse points, such as the wrists, neck, and behind the ears, where the warmth can help diffuse the scent.
4. Layering: Use a matching body wash, lotion, or powder from the same fragrance line to layer the scent, which can make it last longer.
5. Avoid Rubbing: Don't rub your wrists together after applying perfume, as friction can cause the perfume to evaporate more quickly.
6. Storage: Store your perfume in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat, which can alter the fragrance.
7.
Apply Less: Sometimes, applying less perfume can actually make the scent last longer because it's less likely to overwhelm and evaporate quickly.
8.
Use a Spray: Perfumes sprayed from a bottle tend to last longer than those applied with a dab-on applicator.
9.
Avoid Alcohol and Citrus: Consuming alcohol or eating citrus fruits can affect how your body's chemistry interacts with the perfume, potentially shortening its lifespan.
10.
Reapply: If you find that your perfume isn't lasting as long as you'd like, don't hesitate to reapply throughout the day.
