We Bet You Didn't Know About These Perfume Hacks

Well join the club. We’re all trying to figure out how to make our perfume last longer.

The good news is that, we got some tricks and tips up our sleeves that can really alter the way you have been applying fragrances all your life.

Scroll down to know all the deets on how to apply perfume the right way

First, Apply An Unscented Moisturizer

When you apply moisturizer first, the greasy components of it will interfere with the perfumes, allowing them to linger longer. This advice is especially useful for people with dry skin.
Avoid Rubbing Your Wrists Together

After spraying perfume on one wrist, many people have the habit of rubbing their wrists together. Perfumes have a blend of top, middle, and base notes, making this is a bad idea. The top notes are usually more delicate and quickly vanish, whereas the base notes last for a longer time. However, massaging your wrists causes friction, which mixes your skin's natural oils with the fragrance, causing it to change.
Allow The Perfume To Dry

Before taking a sniff of perfume, be sure it's completely dry. The top note is the first scent you notice when you smell the fragrance, and it fades after a few minutes. The perfume that has totally dried down will be the one that will linger with you throughout the day.
Concentrate On The Pulse Points

Simply knowing where to apply perfume can make it last longer than expected. Spraying the perfume on the pulse points or other warm places of the body has a higher retention power and allows the aroma to last a little longer. It spreads the scent throughout the body and allows it to rise throughout the day. The ankles and calves, the neck, behind the ears, inside the elbows, and the wrists are all major pulse points for perfume.
Spritz Your Pillow With Perfume At Night

Ensuring that the fragrance lasts long is all about knowing where to spray your perfume. Spraying the perfume on your pillow is a terrific method to keep yourself smelling fresh and lovely all day. The relaxing scents of perfume, when applied to your pillow right before bedtime, have also been scientifically proven to aid sleep as well isn’t that amazing?
Spray Perfume On Your Ears

Sounds strange, but trust us. It works. The greasier the skin, the scent stays longer. Since the top of your ears is a little bit oilier than your wrist, spraying a little bit of perfume on your ear lobes can make a world of difference.
Apply Perfume Immediately After Taking A Shower

The moisture of the skin holds the scent. This also prevents stains on very delicate clothing (such as your favourite silk shirt) and jewellery.
Create Your Own Signature Fragrance

Now that you know how to apply perfume properly, how about creating your own signature scent? Simply mix your favourite scent with different oils and perfumes. Next, check if the fragrances complement each other. Once you find the combination you like, try it on your skin (your skin oil can change the scent of perfume). Spray the strong scent first, then the light scent on top so that it does not overwhelm the second scent.
