Do you ever feel like your favorite fragrance fades away too quickly? Whether you're wearing a bold cologne or a soft floral perfume, there are simple ways to help your scent linger all day. Try these expert-backed tips to make your fragrance last longer — without needing to reapply every few hours.
1. Start with Moisturized Skin
Perfume lasts longer on hydrated skin. Before applying your fragrance, use an unscented lotion or body oil to lock in moisture. This creates a base that helps hold the scent in place and slows down evaporation.
2. Apply to pulse points
Focus on applying perfume to your pulse points, such as your wrists, neck, and behind your ears. These areas emit heat, which can help to activate and release the scent throughout the day. Avoid rubbing your wrists together after applying perfume, as this can break down the fragrance molecules.
3. Layer your fragrances
For longer-lasting scent, consider layering your fragrances. Start with a scented body wash or lotion in the same scent family as your perfume, then follow up with the perfume itself. This will create a multi-dimensional scent that lasts longer on your skin.
4. Spray your clothes
In addition to spraying perfume directly onto your skin, consider spraying a light mist onto your clothes as well. Fabrics can hold onto scent for longer periods of time, allowing you to enjoy your fragrance throughout the day.
5. Store your perfume properly
Proper storage can help to maintain the integrity of your perfume over time. Store your perfume in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat, as these can degrade the fragrance molecules. Keep the bottle tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation.
6. Try Perfume Enhancers or Fixatives
Consider using perfume extenders or fixatives to help your fragrance last longer. These products are designed to enhance the longevity of perfume by slowing down the rate of evaporation. Look for perfume extenders specifically formulated for your fragrance type.
