It Matters Where You Store Your Perfume
It matters a whole lot, as a matter of fact โ keep your perfumes and colognes in a cool, dry place, such as a cupboard or medicine ๐ cabinet, and avoid storing them in hot ๐ง or humid ๐ฆ spaces.
Don't Rub Your Wrists Together ๐ซ โ It Doesn't Work!
It actually just rubs off more of the fragrance, so instead of diffusing your scent, you're just making it disappear.
Wrist, Neck, Elbows, Ears, and Knees โ Best Places to Put Your Perfume
Your pulse points are always a sure bet, but a little spray down ๐ฃ your cleavage doesn't hurt, either.
Vaseline It up ๐ a Bit
Think of it as creating your own ๐ถ semi-solid perfume, if you like, but it will definitely make the fragrance stay fresh ๐ for longer!
Don't Forget about Your Hair
Too much perfume in your hair ๐ can dry it out, but if you spritz the air in front of you and then walk ๐ through it, your hair ๐ will have a love ๐ and safe hint of your favorite scent!
Touch up ๐ Your Scent, All Day โ๏ธ Long
You touch up ๐ your makeup ๐ and your hair, after all, so why not touch up ๐ your perfume?
Spray Your Scent on Right โ when You Get out of the Shower
Your pores are wide open, your skin is warm, the air is steamy and humid ๐ฆ โ the perfect ๐ combination for a deeply-embedded, long-lasting scent.
Too Strong? Spray It in the Air and Walk ๐ into the Mist
That spritz trick also works if you just want a hint of fragrance everywhere โ this is a surefire way to keep your perfume from being overwhelming.
Spritz Your Hairbrush and Run ๐ It through Your Hair
This is another great ๐ technique for making your hair ๐ smell ๐ sweet, but again, you won't have to worry ๐ about drying out your lovely ๐ธ locks.
Go for the โExtrait De Parfumโ after the Name for the Strongest Scent
See, your problem might be that your perfume isn't quite concentrated enough, but this should fix ๐ง that issue quite nicely.
Low on ๐ Perfume? Put Your Last Bit into Body Lotion
Of course, try to use an unscented lotion, otherwise you're just mixing scents and they might not complement each other.
Wrong Perfume? Use a Makeup ๐ Wipe to Get the Scent off
Don't you hate ๐ it when this happens? Fortunately, it's all kinds of easy to fix ๐ง the problem!
Sleep ๐ค Better by Spritzing a Bit of Nighttime ๐ Perfume on ๐ Your Pillow
Choose something with soothing, calming notes, especially anything with lavender.
...bonus, You'll Wake up ๐ with Sweet ๐ญ Smelling ๐ Hair!
Can't go wrong with that, right?
Layer Your Perfumes to Make the Scent Last Longer
You can essentially create your own ๐ถ signature scent if you layer complementary perfumes, or you can pick one 1๏ธโฃ fragrance and use body wash, body lotion, and powder in addition โ to the actual perfume.
Don't Know Your Perfume? Spray the Samples and Wait for Them to Dry before Sniffing
Always wait for them to dry, though โ you won't get a good ๐ scent indication otherwise.
Cotton ๐ Swabs + Perfume + Bag ๐ = Easy Scent Touch-ups
You can even douse cotton ๐ balls with sample scents at your favorite store โ just for a little freebie!
