How to Make Your Perfume Last Longer
Where and how you apply fragrance changes how long it lasts. Seven simple habits for all-day scent.
Even a long-lasting eau de parfum fades faster when applied the wrong way. These habits help your scent last all day.
Apply to moisturised skin
Fragrance holds better on hydrated skin. Apply an unscented moisturiser first.
Target pulse points
Wrists, the base of the throat and behind the ears are warm, so they diffuse scent gently through the day.
Don't rub your wrists
Rubbing breaks down the top notes and changes how the fragrance develops. Let it dry naturally.
Mist your clothes and hair
Fabric and hair hold scent longer than skin. Spray from a distance to avoid marks.
Store it well
Keep bottles away from heat, sunlight and bathroom humidity, which break down fragrance oils.
