But if you’re spritzing your fragrance onto your wrists than pressing them together, you’re actually applying your perfume all wrong! By rubbing your skin together, you’ll disturb the top notes of the fragrance, which means it won’t last as long and the scent will be altered. Mind-blowing, right? We know how much time, money, and effort it can take to find your perfect signature fragrance, so you really don’t want to waste a single drop. Here are some hacks that’ll help your fragrance last, and keep you smelling fresh all day long.
Moisturize First
Fragrances last longer when they’re applied to oily complexions, so make sure your skin is prepped and moisturized before you douse yourself in perfume. Just make sure you apply an unscented lotion, otherwise, the lotion will mix with the notes of your perfume and the scent could change.
Know Where to Spritz
If you apply your perfume to warmer areas of the body, it’ll be more intense and be fragrant for longer. More specifically, apply it to your pulse points – where the blood vessels are at the surface of your skin (your wrists, elbows, neck, chest, the back of the knees, ankles, and calves). Your pressure points naturally radiate heat, helping the fragrance evaporate from the skin.
Apply Vaseline to Your Pressure Points
As we mentioned, perfume lasts a lot longer if you apply it to oily, damp skin. So rub some Vaseline onto your pulse points as it helps to lock in the scent.
The Lighter the Scent, the Less it Lingers
Lighter, aromatic scents like citrus or jasmine will evaporate faster as they have a smaller molecular structure, whereas scents like wood and musk will linger longer on your skin. It’s important to remember this when you’re purchasing a new scent or at least know what to expect.
Apply Perfume After You Shower
If you apply your perfume to your body when it’s still damp, the moisture will help lock in the scent so it’ll last a whole lot longer – plus you won’t stain any of your clothes with potential spray marks!
Spritz Your Hairbrush
Spraying your brush with a couple bursts of perfume will disperse the scent through your hair and will help to minimize the drying effects that the alcohol can have on your hair vs spraying it directly onto your hair. Your hair is able to better retain fragrance, so misting your hair is a great way to stay fresh all day.
Make Your Own Scented Lotion
To create your own signature moisturizer, put a couple of drops of your perfume into an unscented lotion and shake well. You’ll basically be creating the scented lotion equivalent of your fragrance, but for a fraction of the cost – it’s a total bargain! Plus, it’s the ideal lotion to apply before you spritz, for long-lasting sweetness.
Scented Décor Hack
We’re obsessed with this super easy hack, and it’s such a cute way to add a soft fragrance to your clothes: Spray tissue paper with your fave scent and then line your drawers with the paper. It’ll make your clothes smell great, and you’ll be remembered for your signature scent everywhere you go!
Store Your Fragrance in a Cool, Dark Place
If you keep your perfume bottles in warm, damp places, the heat will damage the molecular structure and damage the quality of the fragrance. So, make sure they’re not in the bathroom or in direct sunlight. Instead, keep them safely in the box or in a cool dark place.
