We love our scents, floral, fruity, aquatic, woody, name it. A detailed guide on perfume types; here. Here are tips on making the most out of our scents and making them last longer on the skin.
1. Apply petroleum jelly: This holds the fragrance longer than if you apply it on dry skin. Petroleum jelly moisturizes your skin hence extending the life expectancy of your fragrance.
2. Reapply your perfume: Some fragrances aren’t meant to last very long and that’s fine. If you detect that your fragrance has faded, you can reapply it, once or twice.
3. Spray perfume from a distance: It is advisable to hold the perfume bottle 5-7 inches away from the skin. This is because it will cover the bigger surface on the skin and perfume will work much better as it is not oversaturated on a single spot.
4. Less is more: When a perfume is too heavy, it can give you a headache. If your perfume is quite strong 1-2 sprays are good enough, 3-4 for light sprays eg body mists.
5. Take care of your bottle: It is important to avoid shaking your bottle as this reduces the perfume’s lifespan. Keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, humidity and high temperatures as this may cause your perfume to break down.
