Does the same perfume last on your friend but not on you? What's the catch?
It all has to do with our unique body chemistry and skin type. Though not everyone is lucky enough to project the scent very strongly, there are things you can try to help.
First of all, stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water. Hydrated skin provides a solid base for your perfume to stick around.
As for the application time, the best is right after a shower when your pores are open. This helps the fragrance absorb deeply into your skin.
Most importantly, moisturise! Use an unscented lotion or oil daily – the scent stays much longer on moisturised skin.
Perfumes love warmth. An active lifestyle increases blood circulation, making your perfume work its magic throughout the day.
Let’s not forget about layering. Applying multiple fragrances makes the scent stronger and last longer.
And lastly, for a better longevity choose perfumes with higher fragrance oil concentrations. They pack a punch and stick around longer.
Shake up your routine with these tips, and you’ll soon see the difference.
