INCREASE YOUR PERFUME’S LASTING BY 5 HOURS

When people shop for perfumes, one of the most crucial factors they consider is how long the fragrance will linger. If your perfume runs out too quickly or fades away soon after application, we’ve got some expert-backed tips to help you out. By following these recommendations, you can naturally extend the lifespan of your favorite fragrance.

 

1) Apply Perfume After Showering

The best moment to apply perfume is right after you shower. The scent can adhere better to your skin when slightly moist. Be sure to pat your skin dry, so it’s damp but not soaking wet before applying the perfume.

 

2)The Secret Ingredient!

Here’s a secret trick: before applying perfume, dab a bit of Vaseline or petroleum jelly on your pulse points. This is a moisturizing barrier that helps the perfume adhere to your skin longer. If you prefer an unscented option, a light lotion can do the same job. This trick works wonders for all types of perfumes.

 

3) Target Your Pulse Points

Pulse points are areas where your arteries are closest to your skin, radiating warmth that intensifies fragrances. These points include the back of your neck, your collarbone, wrists, inner elbows, and behind your knees. While many people apply perfume to their collars and wrists, targeting more pulse points can further enhance the longevity of your fragrance.

 

4)Proper Storage is Key

How you store your perfume is as important as how you apply it. Factors like heat, light, and humidity can break down the perfume compounds, altering its original scent. Avoid storing your perfumes in the bathroom. Instead, please keep them in a cool, dark, and dry place to maintain quality.

 

5) Don’t Rub Your Wrists Together

Avoid the common habit of applying perfume to your wrists and then rubbing them together. This friction can disrupt the top notes of your fragrance and reduce its longevity. Instead, if needed, gently pat the perfume onto your other wrist.

 

6) Use the Right Amount

Applying the correct amount of perfume is crucial for a longer-lasting scent. Some people are cautious with their precious perfumes, while others are overly generous. Aim for a balance by spraying 6-8 spritzes of perfume for optimal longevity. Overdoing it can be overpowering, so use discretion.

 

7) Carry a Roll-On

Consider a roll-on perfume as your trusty sidekick. It’s portable and keeps you smelling fresh all day. If you’re wearing a fragrance with less than 12 hours of staying power, carrying a matching roll-on is an intelligent move. You can reapply it as needed to keep it revitalized. At Scents’n Stories, we offer roll-ons for many of our fragrances, so check out our website to find your favorites!

 

8) Store Wisely

Sometimes, it’s not about how you apply perfume but where you store it. Perfumes despise hot, humid, and well-lit environments. Placing them in such conditions can alter their scent or reduce their longevity.

 

9) Some Perfumes Naturally Last Longer

Despite all these tips, it’s essential to realize that some perfumes inherently have longer lifespans than others. The longevity of a fragrance depends on various factors, including its composition and notes. Some notes have shorter staying power, such as fruity ones. They are light and have excellent sillage but moderate longevity. If you prioritize longevity in your fragrance, choose perfumes with longer-lasting notes.
