The key to long-lasting fragrance starts before you even pick up the bottle. Moisturized skin holds scent far better than dry skin, so begin with an unscented body lotion as your canvas.
Apply perfume to pulse points — the wrists, behind the ears, the neck, and even behind the knees. These warm areas help project the fragrance throughout the day. But never rub your wrists together — this breaks down the delicate top notes and shortens the fragrance's lifespan.
Layering is another powerful technique. Use matching body wash, lotion, and fragrance from the same line to create a multi-dimensional scent experience that lasts significantly longer.
Store your fragrances properly — away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity. A cool, dark drawer or closet shelf is ideal. Heat and light break down the aromatic compounds, weakening your perfume over time.
Finally, consider the concentration. Eau de Parfum (15-20%) will always outlast Eau de Toilette (5-15%). For maximum staying power, choose Parfum or Extrait concentrations.
