So you’ve found the perfect scent, spending time, money and energy into making the right choice; it would make sense that you want to make the most out of it. We’re here to show you how to achieve this and ensure your perfume lasts all day, noticeable but not overwhelming, with a few simple techniques.
Start with Well-Hydrated Skin
Dry skin allows the perfume oils to evaporate more quickly as there are no natural oils to bind with the fragrance molecules. Perfume clings best to moisturised skin because of this very reason. Applying an unscented lotion or body cream before spraying your perfume creates a base that will help lock in the scent. Applying scents coming out of the shower is also effective, as your skin is slightly damp.
Apply to the Right Pulse Points
Applying perfume to pulse points is a popular method to not only make the fragrance last longer but also project better. Pulse points emit heat, which helps the scents diffuse throughout the day. To make the most of this, focus on areas such as the wrists, neck, behind the ears, inner elbows and back of knees. These points encourage gradual release, allowing the perfume to evolve naturally over time without overwhelming.
Layer Strategically
More is better in some cases, but not when it comes to spritzing your favourite scent. A controlled number of sprays on the key points mentioned above in light layers is the key to having the scent work best for you. Spraying a small amount on clothing or hair can also help the fragrance last longer but be careful to test for staining.
With the right preparation, application and care, your perfume can last all day into the night. Why not have a look at the curated collections at KDJ Inspired so you can try for yourself?
