Luxury perfumes are not just fragrances but signs of status and personality. But many of you struggle with the longevity of the scent.
Here are 7 tips that can be followed to get the most longevity out of your luxury perfumes that will smell great from morning to night.
TIP 1: Identify and Target Pulse Points
Your wrists, behind the ears, inside the elbows, and at the base of the neck are warmer and are great places to apply perfume to make it last longer and radiate throughout the day.
When you apply the fragrance to these parts of the body, you make it last longer as the scent point is increased.
TIP 2: Moisturize Before Applying Perfume
Fragrance lasts longer on hydrated skin. Before applying your perfume, use a body lotion to create a base that helps the scent cling to your skin.
For a richer fragrance experience, consider layering with matching scented body products.
TIP 3: Spray, Don’t Rub
Rubbing your wrists together after applying perfume dilutes the fragrance molecules and decreases the rate of the longevity of the perfume.
Rather, let the perfume dry to air so that it maintains its notes and has a long life span as it should.
TIP 4: Seal in Your Scent
Apply a small amount of Vaseline or a fragrance primer on your pulse points before spritzing your perfume.
This creates a barrier that locks in the fragrance, allowing it to last longer. Additionally, store your perfumes in a cool, dark place to maintain their freshness.
TIP 5: Choose Long-Lasting Perfume Concentrations
Opt for eau de parfum (EDP) or pure parfum, which have a higher concentration of fragrance oils than eau de toilette (EDT).
These formulations naturally last longer on the skin, offering better performance for all-day wear.
TIP 6: Layer Your Scents
Layering different products with the same scent—such as shower gels, body lotions, and perfumes—creates a richer, longer-lasting fragrance experience.
For ultimate fragrance, use a shower gel, apply body lotion, and then spray on the perfume to complete the process.

TIP 7: Don’t Overdo It
When it comes to luxury perfumes, a little goes a long way. If the perfume is applied in excess, it may even end up congesting the olfactory nerves and lead to a faster disappearance of the scent.
Use no more than 2-4 pumps; apply it on the neck area. This controlled application enables the fragrance to stay for a while without becoming too strong.
BONUS TIP [Because you matter a little too much to us ;)]
Reapply Strategically: For scents that may fade throughout the day, carry a travel-sized atomizer for touch-ups. Reapplying to pulse points or even clothing can refresh your fragrance without overdoing it. Aim for midday touch-ups to extend your scent's presence.
Conclusion:
And there you have it—your ultimate cheat sheet for making those luxe scents stick around like your bestie at brunch!
So go ahead, spritz smart, stay fresh, and let your scent do the talking!
