Tips and Tricks to Make Your Perfume Last Longer 1. Choose a perfume that can last all-day

2. Take a shower before spraying your perfume.

Damp skin will help lock in the scent. Then wait for a few minutes to get dressed for the perfume to dry because if you get dressed right away, the perfume will rub off.

3. Make sure that your skin is moisturized

Dry skin does not retain fragrance as much as oily skin does. You have to apply the perfume after you moisturize your skin as long as what you are using is an unscented lotion, cream, or oil. It will be better if you are using a moisturizer with the same scent.

4. Spray it on Pulse Points with Petroleum Jelly

Vaseline or any brand of petroleum jelly helps too. It helps keep the scent of the perfume better and lasts longer. Now, you want to know what pulse points are. A pulse point is a place where the pulse can be felt easily (usually where an artery is located near the surface of the body.)They are also called warm points. Below is an illustration where to spray your perfume.

5. Rubbing your wrists together is a Big No-No

Rubbing your wrists together can make the top notes to fade rapidly and as a result the perfume won’t last long.

6. Never shake your perfume.

This will only reduce the quality of the perfume because the air will come in.

7. Do not forget your hair

You know that your hair can hold the scent of your fragrance for quite a while? Just don’t spray directly to your hair. Spray it on your hairbrush, and brush it on your freshly washed hair.

9. Where you store your perfume matters

Do not keep your perfume in a place where there is a lot of humidity and dampness e.g. the bathroom. Store it in place where it is dark and cool. Put it back in its’ box once you are done using it.

And lastly,

10. Apply your scent of the day on cotton buds It is easier to carry around cotton swabs sprayed with your perfume inside a Ziploc bag than an entire bottle of perfume. Use the cotton swabs for a quick touch up if you feel that you need it.
