How to Make Perfume and Cologne Last Longer - All Day Fragrance
When it comes to perfume and colognecorner, one thought keeps coming back: "I wish the smell would last longer!" Well, there are steps you can take to help. Do not spray perfume and cologne right after taking a shower. Apply the fragrance at certain areas. Try using a stronger perfume. You can always carry some in your bag, but if you don't really have time to freshen-up during the day then these tips can help.When you take a shower, the heat and water dry out your skin. Perfume and cologne last longer on moist skin than they do on dry skin. So before you spray any perfume, use a body lotion, preferably unscented, to regain your natural skin moisture. If your skin is naturally very dry, use a moisturizing lotion or a lotion with more fatty acids as these are what slow down the evaporation of a perfume.
Once you've done this, apply perfume and cologne in specific areas known as pulse points. These are areas where your blood vessels are very close to your skin and therefore a lot of heat is generated, such as the wrists, the bend of the elbows, between the breasts, behind the knees and behind the ankles. Do not underestimate the lower parts of your body. Vapors always go upwards so that perfume on your ankles could last longer than anywhere else. You could also lightly spray your hair but if you do make sure your perfume doesn't clash with your shampoo. If it does you can always find an unscented hair treatment.
Finally, if you aren't using actual "perfume" or "parfum" in French, but are using eau de parfum, eau de toilette or eau de cologne, then you might want to find out if there is a perfume that matches what you are using. A lot of times you will find the exact same brand has the exact same product with various labels. Perfume is the strongest and of course the most expensive, it's also meant to last a lot longer.It's as simple as that, use body lotion before perfume and cologne, spray your fragrance on key pulse points and if you have the wallet, use the "perfume version" of what you are using if you aren't already. If you implement these few tricks you will be well on your way to smelling good all day with little to no unpractical freshening up breaks.
