Who doesn’t like to smell good all the time and make their perfumes last much longer?
Today, we selected 17 tips for you! Check out!
1. Do not rub your wrists after spraying. It won’t make you smell better. When you do this, the top notes tend to fade faster and, as a result, your fragrance lasts less time.
2. If you want to smell great all the time and make your perfumes last longer, a great tip is not to store them in the bathroom or in hot, humid places.
Heat, light and humidity decrease the quality of fragrances. Instead, store them in a cool place away from windows.
3. Apply perfume right after showering and before getting dressed. The moisture on your skin will help lock in the scent. This will also prevent the fragrance from staining delicate clothing or jewelry.
4. Apply an unscented lotion before applying fragrance. If you have dry skin, use a moisturizer to help lock in the scent.
