Making a fragrance last longer on the skin isn’t just about the perfume itself; it’s also how and where you apply it. With the right techniques, you can significantly extend the longevity and performance of your scent. Don’t know where to start? We’ve got you covered.
One of the most important steps is skin prep; perfume lasts longer on moisturised skin as the fragrance oils have something to cling to. Applying an unscented moisturiser or body lotion before your perfume creates the perfect base and helps prevent the scent from evaporating too quickly. Scented lotions can work too, but we’ll talk a bit more about that later.
Application points also matter; as you may have heard before, pulse points are the ideal areas for perfume application. These are places on the body such as the wrists, behind the ears and elbows. Pulse points generate more heat than the rest of the body, which helps diffuse scents over time aloowing them to develop beautifully and naturally.
Layering is another effective technique, which is where scented lotions and other products can come into play to not only create interesting and complementary scent profiles but also increase the longevity of scent. Another way to use this technique is to spray a body mist to clothing or hair from a safe distance, making sure to patch test first to avoid staining or damage.
Finally, your choice in perfume will, of course, make a difference with factors such as concentration.
