The last thing you want when you finally find your favourite fragrance out of so many new launches is for it not to be long-lasting. We all love to make a lasting impression one way or the other and the way we do that most of the time is through our fragrances. The way we wear our fragrances is different from another, this is why before we introduce you to newly launched fragrances on the market, we believe it’s good to know how to wear them longer.
The major reason most perfume do not last long on the body is due to evaporation – the rate at which the perfume change rapidly and unpredictably, the temperature and how it’s worn determines its longevity. So the solution to this issue lies in how you optimise the fragrance to slow down the evaporation process.
So how can you wear your favourite fragrance to be long-lasting? First, Prep Your Skin: it’s been discovered that when you spritz your fragrance to a moisturised and hydrated skin, it allows your fragrance to latch on the skin natural oil hence your fragrance works with your skin naturalle all the day. So, you are best advised to shower first, moisturise then spritz.
The sillage of a fragrance is traditionally known to be, spritz it on our pulse points – which they say helps your perfume to linger around longer after the wearer has left the scene. Well I think that’s just trying to impress others, in this modern time we’ve learnt to know beauty is not always to impress others but for your own feel good, confidence and power, due to this you are now most advise to not only spritz it on your pulse points but on your clothes and hair hence prolong it’s wearability. So Spray To Impress And Express
Another tip to making your fragrance have a staying power is to Dial Up It’s Intensity:To intensify the strength of your fragrance this summer is to either move from eau de toilette to eau de parfum or to extrait de parfum. They all have different level of concentration so for some, eau de parfum is enough but some, extrait de parfum.
The Use Of Oil Or Petroleum Jelly to hold the fragrance is known to make persistent scent. Some brands even offer the fragrance in oil form allowing you wear the fragrance for a long time as oil is known to lock in scent compare to alcohol that evaporates quickly which must fragrances are made up of.
When you wear, Dab And Don’t Rub: it’s advised to use a dabbing motion after spritzing your fragrance as the friction from rubbing can cause the perfume to evaporate more quickly. While at this, it’s also good to know which fragrance will smell good on your skin type because fragrance notes do shift depending on the skin’s PH, oil composition and body temperature.
Invest in woody, chypre, and oriental Fragrance Family if you want your fragrance to have a holding power, compare to floral, citrus and fruity family.
Finally, Layer Like A Pro And Spritz On Repeat: You can layer your fragrance by starting with its moisturiser or oil form then spritz the fragrance itself or if you want to create your personal scent, spritz up to three different types of perfumes – with that you get to create your own customised fragrance. And there is nothing wrong with re-applying your fragrance throughout the day to strengthen the base notes.
