Lets look at the 10 ways that you can make sure to get the most out of your fragrance. Most people love the art of perfumes and perfume lovers are finding new ways everyday to make their fragrance last longer.
Fragrance with high concentration of Perfume Oil
According to the experts when you buy a fragrance try to buy a fragrance labelled as "eau de parfum" or "extrait de parfum" or "edp" which has higher concentration of fragrance oil than the other fragrance types. For example "eau de toilette" tends to be lighter with less perfume oil concentration its used for shorter wear time and parfums, EDPs are used for more long lasting smell. EDP and EDT also has a price difference most fragrance houses sell EDT at a lower price due to its lower concentration of fragrance oils.
Pay attention to the Notes
Some fragrances are stronger than the other. Some fragrances by nature are rich and long lasting, while others might not stay for long. Citrus, fresh and aquatic notes are the most volatile scents (aka the quickest to disappear), while woods, ambers, musk's and spice notes “naturally last longer than others.”
Spray Properly and Don't spray a cloud
Many people around the world spray a whole cloud of fragrance in the air and walk through it which is wrong because it sits on your clothing and body and fades away within few hours. Spray the fragrance directly to your body at a distance of about 15 cm. Be careful before spraying any fragrance on your clothing because it might leave a stain especially on silk and polyester clothing.
Moisturize before applying
You already moisturize after shower. Spray some fragrance after the moisturizer is dried. and wait for the fragrance to dry down before wearing your clothes. The Lotion/moisturizer can hold the fragrance longer and it can also mix up with your moisturizer scent and give you a perfect mix of both smells. If you just want to smell like the fragrance then use an unscented lotion.
Application on your Pulse Points
Spray the fragrance on the pulse points like wrists, neck, behind ears, back of your knees and ankles. Try applying decent amount of spray on your pulse points so it can smell longer because these pulse points in a human body have thinnest areas where body can produce more heat and than can help the scent to radiate upwards.
Use the Unscented Lip balm Method
Now this tip is a new one and I have personally never heard of this before. So according to perfume experts you can also use an unscented lip balm by rubbing it in your pulse points such as wrists and neck etc., and spray your favorite fragrance on top of the balm. The waxy balm can warm up your body temperature and then fuse the fragrance according to your skin.
SPRAY- Don't Rub
Always spray the cologne and never rub your wrists together after applying it. Also after you spray let the fragrance do dry before wearing any clothing. Rubbing after spraying is a common myth among people because they think rubbing will make the fragrance dry faster, last longer and smell better. But in the reality its wrong because when you rub the fragrance the friction will damage the molecules of a fragrance and will cause it to break down faster and fade away faster.
Resist the Urge to Over-Spray
Well most people overspray everyday in hopes of making their fragrance stronger and last longer. But in reality it will overwhelm you and everyone around you. Always spray decent amount and never over spray it. Your skin and fragrance transforms you into a uniquely smell that is you. Also over spraying can also cause you to run out of your favorite cologne much faster.
Spray on your Hairbrush
This is a new hack. Instead of spraying any fragrance directly to your hair, Spray a little amount of fragrance on your hair brush so when you brush your hair the fragrance can be applied evenly and can give an extra smell to your hair all day long. And you can also enjoy the notes of the fragrance all day long.
Finish with the Spray on Your Clothes
Once you are done spraying on your pulse points or body, Try spraying a little bit on your clothes as well. But also you have to be very careful with this step. Because most fragrances leave a stain on the clothing so only spray on the clothing where its not visible enough. A dry stain can bring down your confidence but its fine because it happens with almost all of us everyday.
