How To Make Your Perfume Last Longer

Perfume is a mixture of fragrant essential oils or aroma compounds (fragrances), fixatives and solvents, usually in liquid form, used to give the human body  an agreeable scent.

When people apply perfumes, they want it to last long since they would wear it for a long period of time.

Here are ways to make your perfume last long;

Apply on your pulse points

There’s actually a functional reason why we tend to apply perfume on our pulse points (like the insides of your wrists and elbows, behind your ears, on your neck, the back of your knees, etc.): The skin is the thinnest at those points, which means it’s closer to your blood and body heat.

Don’t rub your wrists together

Once you apply on your pulse points it may feel instinctive to rub your wrists or elbows together to blot the fragrance. The rubbing together is considered a big perfume no-no. It just makes the top notes burn off a little quicker.” 

If you would like to blend two fragrances together—or would like to blot away some of the juice—try tapping your wrists together instead of creating friction. You can also dab your wrist up your arm, onto your neck, or anywhere you’d like to deposit some scent without messing with its longevity. 

Spritz after a shower

A quick Google search might leave you with this clever little hack: Spritz on a perfume right after a shower, as the steam helps open up the aroma.

Keep your skin hydrated

Hydrated skin is important for a number of reasons, but in case you needed one more reason to baby your skin barrier. Hydrated, moisturized skin is really going to hold fragrance a lot longer.

Layer your fragrances

If you have a scented body oil and/or lotion, layering it under your perfume can enhance the fragrance and keep your skin hydrated, which inherently makes both aromas last longer. Some brands will even offer a body oil and perfume duo for this very reason, but you could always choose separate products with scents that complement each other well. You can also layer your perfumes, if you choose

Spray on clothes

When using Eau de parfum, spray on clothes not on skin as your sweat and natural oils can accumulate throughout the day and make the scent wear off. Ever thrown on a sweater to discover it still smells like last week’s perfume, or borrowed a loved one’s scarf and notice how it carries their signature scent? Fabrics hold on to fragrance. However, be careful as some perfumes would stain your clothes.
