Sandalwood, nutmeg, amber, vanilla… behind every fragrance lies a special ingredient that gives you that magical aura. But while it’s one thing to identify the right perfume notes, making your fragrance last all day is an art of its own. When you learn how to apply perfume the right way, you’ll be surprised to see how it changes your scent game. Here are a few tricks of the trade to help you maintain that all-day long scent.
Hydration is Key
Let’s start with skin prep. Did you know that dry skin absorbs fragrance too quickly, causing it to fade faster. After showering, apply a good unscented or lightly scented moisturizer to your arms, wrists and neck. This will give the fragrance something to cling to, making it release throughout the day in a gradual and delicate manner.
Layer Up
Say it out loud: Layers lead to a lasting impact. When you combine multiple fragrances, you can craft a symphony of sorts - where each layer enhances the next, creating depth and longevity…think of it as cooking or painting, it’s all about mixing different ingredients and finding the right combination of expensive and cheap perfumes!
Pick Your Pulse Points
When you spray that scent, spray it with intent. Focus on targeting pulse points such as the wrists, neck, behind the ears, and inner elbows. These spots diffuse the aromas more aggressively if your body heats up, literally warming the fragrance to combat any natural odours.
Go All In
If you’re confident in your ability to spray the right amount, you can go the extra mile by spritzing a light amount of your fragrance onto your hair or clothes too - fabric and hair fibers cling on to the scent even longer than skin. Just be mindful of the materials of your clothing as spraying over too much might cause damage, especially when you use a cheap perfume.
