Keeping your scent fresh, clean and pretty is somewhat easy-peasy; local brands are now breaking barriers, making exact dupes of high-end perfumes, without breaking the bank. Even skincare brands are getting inspired, infusing some signature scents in their skincare products here and there, but there’s a catch: keeping that signtaure scent.
It all comes down to simple steps to keep you smelling fresh all day long, and these tips we, editors, swear by, to make your scent linger all day long.
Exfoliate two times a week
Sometimes you can be using all the right products, but not prepping your skin correctly. Exfoliation helps you shed all those dead skin cells sitting on the surface, allowing your skin to absorb everything better, even your beloved scents project better
Layering Scents= Better Longevity
Whether you wanna smell like a blooming bouquet or seductive vanilla, there’s no better way to keep that scent lingering than to layer all base notes together. First, start with a body lotion, then apply perfume oil of your liking, then spritz your signature scent.
Target Pulse Points
One of the reasons why your perfumes dont last that long, is because you’re spraying half of it in thin air. Make sure you spray your perfume or splash on your pulse points, to make it stick to your skin more. Opt for spraying behind ears, inner elbows, wrists and back of your neck.
Hydrated Skin = Better Scent
Dry skin tends to absorb fragrance faster, causing it to fade more quickly. Keeping your skin moisturized helps lock in the scent and makes it last for hours. Unscented lotions work great too, especially if you don’t want to alter your perfume’s notes.
Don't Rub Your Perfume
As tempting as it is to rub your wrists together after spraying, try not to. Friction can break down the fragrance molecules faster, making the scent fade sooner. Instead, spray and let it dry naturally so the perfume develops the way it was intended.
