Tired of applying perfume or cologne and not getting a long-lasting fragrance? If yes, then we have your back! There are several techniques and tips you can try to make your perfume last a long time without evaporating within a few hours. The smell is one of the most distinct features that makes or breaks your impression. No matter how tiresome and chaotic a day you had, if you still smell good at the end of it, you ought to leave a good impression socially and professionally. 

An attractive smell can boost your confidence and help you appear sophisticated and put together. While many put too much effort into selecting the right fragrance for themselves, they often overlook ways to make it last longer throughout the day. 

The key to making your perfume linger all day is subtleness and precision. The type of perfume you use also matters, for example, Eau de Parfums generally lasts longer than Eau de Toilettes as they contain a higher concentration of fragrance oil than the latter. 

Try these 5 tips to apply your perfume correctly and make the fragrance last longer 

1. Prepare your skin 

Prepping your skin before applying perfume is the key to making your fragrance last longer. While many overlook this step, moisturizing and hydrating your skin before applying perfume to it can hold the fragrance for longer without the quick evaporation of the perfume. 

2. Apply on pulse points 

Applying perfume to the pulse points makes the fragrance last longer, as these are the areas where blood vessels are closer to the skin's surface. These vessels emit heat, which intensifies the scent of the perfume, making it linger throughout the day. 

3. Spray perfume with the right technique 

It might sound insignificant, but the way you spray your perfume can also determine the amount of fragrance you will get out of it. Make sure you hold the bottle 6–8 inches away from the skin and spray for an even distribution of the particles, ensuring a balanced scent. 

4. Do not rub 

Contrary to popular belief, do not rub your wrists together after applying the perfume. Rubbing can break the delicate perfume particles, destroying their longevity. Instead, let the perfume molecules fully dry on your skin to get the full experience of the scent. 

5. Store your perfumes right 

Make sure you store your perfume in a dry and cool area away from direct sunlight, as it can alter the perfume molecules and make it ineffective. Also, ensure you tighten the cap after use to avoid oxidation and evaporation. 

Perfume is one of the most important accessories when it comes to making a strong impression. The way you smell can be a deal-breaker, and a good scent adds to your charm and boosts your confidence on different levels.
