1. How to Apply Perfume for Maximum Longevity
Apply perfume to pulse points — wrists, neck, behind the ears, and the inside of elbows. These spots emit warmth that helps diffuse the scent all day.
Avoid rubbing your wrists together, as friction can break down the fragrance molecules and reduce longevity.
2. Layering for a Signature Scent
Pair your perfume with matching body custards or oils to create a stronger, longer-lasting scent. For example, apply a lightly scented moisturizer first, then spritz your perfume over it to “lock in” the aroma.
3. Refresh Without Overpowering
If reapplying throughout the day, mist from a distance or apply to clothing or hair ends rather than directly to the skin. A little goes a long way with extrait-strength perfumes.
4. Proper Storage
Keep perfumes in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and humidity. Storing them in their boxes or a closed cabinet preserves the scent’s integrity and prevents alcohol evaporation.
