5 Perfume Hacks to Make Your Fragrance Last Longer
- Apply perfume right after your shower
If you want to make your perfume last longer, the best time to spray it on your skin is right after a shower. The steam and heat from the shower will open up your pores which allows for better absorption of the scent molecules in the perfume. Additionally, spraying onto damp skin helps lock in moisture so that the fragrance lasts all day long. You can also apply some unscented lotion before applying your favourite scent as this will help hold onto its aroma even longer.
- Moisturise skin before application
If you don't have time for a shower, it's important to moisturise your skin before applying perfume. This will help the scent last longer and keep its intensity throughout the day and helps the fragrance lock in better.
- Apply to pulse points
Applying perfume to your pulse points is a great way to make your scent last longer. Pulse points are areas of the body where blood vessels are close to the skin, such as behind the ears, on wrists and neck. These spots will help you get maximum longevity out of your fragrance because they give off more heat than other parts of the body which helps activate and release molecules from the perfume faster. Additionally, applying it in these places can also enhance its aroma due to their higher concentration of sweat glands.
- Smear Vaseline on pulse points before applying
If you want to make your perfume last longer, one trick is to smear Vaseline on pulse points before applying. This will help the scent stay in place and linger for a longer period of time. Additionally, it's important to store perfumes away from heat or direct sunlight as this can cause them to lose their potency over time. Applying body lotion prior to spraying on fragrance also helps lock in the scent so that it lasts all day long.
- Spray fragrance onto your hairbrush
Sometimes the scent of hair products can overpower the scent of your favourite fragrance. To combat this, try spraying your favourite fragrance on your hairbrush and brushing it through dry hair. This will create a more encompassing fragrance that lasts longer than if you had sprayed it directly onto your skin or clothes. Not only does this help to keep the scent from being overpowered by other scents, but also helps to ensure that you smell great all day long!
