Maximize the Longevity of Your Perfume: 7 Tips

Have you ever been frustrated by your fragrance evaporating before you even finished your morning coffee? Here are some useful tips to help you enjoy your favorite scent all day long.

Moisturize with Vaseline

The most popular method to make perfume more permanent is to use moisturizer and Vaseline. Dry skin absorbs the scent, while moist skin supports the permanence of your perfume. Vaseline slows down evaporation and acts as a barrier, making the scent stick to your skin.

Choose Heavier Notes

Heavy, woody, and amber scents have a longer-lasting power than lighter and floral scents. If you want your perfume to last longer, choose the former.

EDT vs. EDP

Eau de parfum (EDP) is more concentrated and oil-based than eau de toilette (EDT), which is diluted with water or alcohol. The higher the perfume percentage according to the alcohol content, the longer the scent will last.

Focus on Pulse Points

Applying perfume to the neck and behind the ears will help the scent last longer as it will stick to clothes and hair for longer. Spraying on pulse points allows the scent to spread more effectively.

Use Shower Gel and Body Lotion

Using shower gel and body lotion of the same scent will make your favorite scent more lasting. The perfume will stick to your skin more effectively when you spray it on your scented body product.

Do Not Rub Your Wrists Together

Rubbing your wrists together after applying perfume will generate heat, causing the more volatile top notes to disappear quickly. Instead, let the perfume dry naturally after application.

Makeup Cotton Trick

Applying perfume to the skin after applying it to the make-up cotton will help it stay on the skin longer. The cotton will push the scent into the skin more and evaporate it less.

With these 7 tips, you can increase the longevity of your perfume and enjoy your favorite scent all day long!
