One way to make perfume last longer is by learning to layer fragrances, but many women prefer to use unscented cosmetics.
In this case, you need to know the best tips for using perfume correctly, and that’s what we’ve brought for you today.
1. Apply perfume at the right time
For best results, spray your perfume right after you get out of the shower.
Doing this before putting on your clothes will allow your skin to absorb the smell better and thus the perfume will last longer.
Additionally, using perfume this way will help you avoid staining your clothes and jewelry.

2. Do not use other scented products
You may have a routine that involves a whole series of lotions and moisturizers, however, using other scented products will mask the smell of your fragrance, unless you use products from the same line as your perfume.
So, if you plan to make a real impact and use perfume correctly, follow this tip!

3. Don’t rub your wrists
It’s something we all see in movies. The protagonist sprays the fragrance on one of her wrists and then rubs them together.
We’ve certainly done this several times ourselves. If you want to use perfume the right way, it’s time to stop doing that!
The friction you create when you rub your wrists together increases the interaction between the oils in your skin and the perfume.This can dramatically change the smell. Spray it on both wrists and let it dry naturally.

4. Spray perfume on your pulse points
We usually spray perfume on our wrists and neck. Have you ever wondered why?
These are the pulse points. In these places, the veins are closer to the skin and therefore emit more heat. This causes the perfume to diffuse out of your body.
However, to use perfume correctly, don’t forget that when it comes to this subject, less is more.
Don’t overdo your pulse points or you’ll come across people coughing and sneezing as you pass by.

5. Don’t let the perfume get into your mouth
This may seem quite obvious, however, it must have happened to you a few times.
If you are spraying any fragrance on your hair, be sure to keep it away from your mouth.
Also, try not to get the perfume on your hands, as you’ll be surprised how many times they end up in your mouth throughout the day.

6. Apply perfume the right way
(ninja-inline id=9469)
There are a number of ways to use perfume. You could spray it directly onto your body or spray it into the air and then walk through the perfume mist. However, this ends up wasting the product.
If you have an expensive perfume, apply it to your pulse points and that will be enough to keep you smelling good all day.

7. Make the fragrance last
The secret to making your perfume last longer is to apply it on top of a layer of unscented moisturizer. The fragrance will soak into soft skin much better than when it is dry.
Another trick is to apply some Vaseline to your pulse points and then spray perfume on top. The perfume droplets will soak into the Vaseline and not into your pores, making it last much longer.

8. Perfume your hair
You can use perfume on your hair too, however, you must be careful.
Only apply perfume to your hair when it has been freshly washed, otherwise the natural oils in your strands may ruin the scent of the perfume.
Furthermore, perfume can dry your hair as it contains alcohol, so if you spray it directly on your hair, keep a certain distance away (15cm is ideal).
If you prefer, spray the fragrance on your brush or comb and then run it through your hair.
