If you've ever sprayed your favorite perfume on yourself in the morning, but by the afternoon you could barely smell it, then this article is for you. Most people don't realize how important the technique of applying perfume is : where, when, and how you spray it, and how you prepare your skin.

In this article, I will share 5 proven tips to make your perfume last longer , whether it's a women's or men's fragrance, Eau de Parfum, or even a niche perfume.

Tip 1: Hydrated skin = longer lasting perfume

Dry skin evaporates fragrance faster , while hydrated skin “holds” it in. That’s why it’s always a good idea to moisturize your skin before applying perfume – preferably with a fragrance-free body lotion.

💡 Pro tip: If you have a body lotion or cream that matches your scent (e.g. Chanel Coco Mademoiselle body lotion for the perfume), you can use it to enhance the effect of the scent even more.

Tip 2: Spray on the right points – not just your wrists!

Many people only spray perfume on their wrists and neck, but there are warm spots on the body where the scent lasts even longer:

• elbow bend

• collarbone

• knee bend

• hairbrush / hairbrush

• navel area (!)

These are the so-called pulse points , where body heat enhances the scent notes.

Tip 3: Don't rub your wrists together!

This is a common mistake that many people make. Rubbing your wrists together breaks down the fragrance molecules and shortens the lifespan of the top and heart notes.

✨ Instead: just spray the fragrance and let it dry on your skin.

Tip 4: Use a perfume primer or fragrance fixer

If you really want to maximize the longevity of your fragrance, you can use special perfume primer sprays or scent-fixing balms that are specifically designed to help the scent last longer on the skin.

These are now available in Hungary and also come in a unisex, unscented version.

Tip 5: You can also spray it on your clothes – but be careful!

Perfume will last longer on fabrics than on skin, especially if it is an Eau de Parfum concentration. However, be aware that silk, leather or light fabrics may stain !

Use for example:

• inside of scarf

• on the collar of a jacket

• or blow on a handkerchief that you carry with you

+1 Bonus Tip: Layer your scents consciously

" Fragrance layering " is a trend today: combining multiple, complementary scents – for example, a fresh citrus base, a powdery heart note, and a woody base.

This gives a unique fragrance experience and is often much longer lasting than a single perfume.

In summary – This is how your perfume will last longer:

• Moisturize your skin before applying perfume

• Spray on the right spots

• Never rub your wrists together.

• Use a fragrance fixer or perfume primer

• Your clothes can also help with durability

• Try layering scents
