1. Apply to Pulse Points
- Spray on wrists, behind the ears, neck, inner elbows, and behind knees—these warm areas help diffuse the scent.
- Avoid rubbing your wrists together, as this breaks down fragrance molecules.
2. Moisturize First
- Perfume lasts longer on hydrated skin. Apply an unscented lotion or petroleum jelly before spraying.
3. Layer Your Fragrance
- Use matching body washes, lotions, or oils with the same scent family to enhance longevity.
4. Store It Correctly
- Keep your perfume in a cool, dark place, away from heat and sunlight, which can weaken the scent.
- Avoid storing it in humid places like the bathroom.
5. Choose Long-Lasting Fragrance Types
- Parfum (Extrait de Parfum): 20-30% fragrance oil, lasts 8-12 hours.
- Eau de Parfum (EDP): 15-20% oil, lasts 6-8 hours.
- Eau de Toilette (EDT): 5-15% oil, lasts 4-6 hours.
- Eau de Cologne (EDC): 2-5% oil, lasts 2-4 hours.
6. Spray on Clothes & Hair (Carefully)
- Spritz lightly on clothes, but avoid delicate fabrics like silk.
- For hair, spray on a brush instead of directly on hair to prevent alcohol damage.
