10 Tips To Make Your Perfume Last Longer

Who doesn’t want to smell good all the time? We buy expensive perfumes with the expectation that the fragrance will last longer, but even after applying half the bottle at once, the smell lasts less than an hour. We’ve all been through it.

Are you smearing perfume on your wrist and rubbing it in? That is the most common mistake you are making, as it can change the fragrance of your perfume and shorten its longevity. Most people are unaware that they are not applying perfume efficiently and correctly.

Here are some expert-backed tips to make your perfume last longer so you can linger all day.

Moisturize First

After you get out of the shower, pat your skin dry and apply a moisturizer or lotion to your entire body.

After a long shower, when your pores are clean and open, pat your skin dry and apply your favorite fragrance right away. Of course, you won’t spritz the perfume on wet skin; instead, dry it off and moisturize it first, as this will help your scent last longer, and you’ll have a wonderful base of clean, hydrated, and great-smelling skin.

Apply On Your Pulse Point
