A beautiful fragrance is more than just a scent — it’s a signature, a memory, a silent introduction. Yet one of the most common questions in the world of perfumery is:

“Why doesn’t my perfume last?”

The truth is: longevity isn’t only about the perfume — it’s about how you wear it.

Here is your complete luxury guide to making your fragrance last longer, smell richer, and perform at its full potential.

1. Apply Perfume To Hydrated Skin

Perfume lasts much longer on moisturised skin.

     

      • Apply fragrance after a shower or bath

      • Use an unscented lotion or body butter

      • Hydrated skin holds fragrance molecules better than dry skin

    Pro tip: Oily or moisturised skin = longer-lasting scent trail.

    2. Apply To Pulse Points

    Your pulse points generate heat, which helps diffuse and project fragrance beautifully.

    Apply perfume to:

       

        • Wrists

        • Neck

        • Behind the ears

        • Inner elbows

        • Behind knees

      Heat helps the fragrance bloom and evolve throughout the day.

      3. Use A Fragrance Primer Or Oil

      Before spraying perfume:

         

          • Apply a fragrance oil or unscented body oil

          • This creates a base that locks in scent

          • Think of it as a “primer” for your perfume

        4. Layer Your Fragrance

        Layering builds depth, richness, and serious longevity.

        Use:

           

            • Matching shower gel

            • Matching body lotion

            • Matching body spray

            • Then apply your perfume on top

          This creates a multi-dimensional scent aura that lasts all day.

          5. Store Your Perfume Properly

          Perfume is sensitive to:

             

              • Sunlight

              • Heat

              • Humidity

            Always store fragrances:

               

                • In a cool, dark place

                • Away from windows and bathrooms

              Poor storage destroys fragrance molecules and weakens performance.

              ❌ 6. Don’t Rub Your Perfume

              Rubbing:

                 

                  • Breaks down the fragrance structure

                  • Destroys top notes

                  • Shortens longevity

                Instead:

                   

                    • Spray and let it dry naturally

                  7. Choose A Stronger Concentration

                  Not all perfumes are created equal.

                  For longer-lasting scent, choose:

                     

                      • Eau de Parfum (EDP) or

                      • Parfum / Extrait de Parfum

                    They contain more fragrance oils, meaning:
                    ✔ Stronger projection
                    ✔ Longer wear
                    ✔ Richer scent experience

                    The Art Of Layering Perfume (Step-by-Step)

                    Layering is how you create a signature scent that smells expensive and lasts longer.

                    1. Start With A Base Layer

                       

                        • Apply scented lotion, body butter, or fragrance oil on damp skin

                      2. Apply Your Perfume

                         

                          • Spray onto pulse points: wrists, neck, behind ears

                        3. Mix Concentrations

                           

                            • Layer a strong scent (Parfum or EDP) with a lighter one (EDT)

                          4. Experiment & Adjust

                             

                              • Play with combinations until you discover your perfect signature blend
