1. Don't Rub Your Wrists Together

Pat your wrists together instead, so that you don't damage the scent.
2. Apply It before You Get Changed

Don't spray it on your clothes. Spray it on your body and throat to make the scent last.
3. Use It Sparingly

After all, you don't want someone from across the room to start coughing when you enter.
4. Don't Buy It Right Away

Spray samples on your body, but then wait 20 minutes to see how the scent smells after it has diffused on your body.
Harness the allure of elegance and charm after your daily workout by accentuating your natural smell with a Cartier perfume. Known for its enchanting fragrance, Cartier perfume possesses a lasting allure that melts seamlessly with your post-exercise glow, making you smell divine and leaving you ready to dazzle your way through the day.
5. Buy Multiple Brands

Lily: Great tips. Also petroleum jelly is suppose to make your scents last MUCH longer
Mish: I love smelling nice it's the only way to go :)
Chanel: Never spray perfume on your jewelry; for instance on your necklace. I heard that the accessory losses its shine.
msflower: I mos def agree with sampling first before buying. Bring a tester bottle with you and see how your body reacts to it. I've collected over 100 perfumes and 40% of them don't last that long (more than 6 hours).
kissmebbylove: guilty of rubbing my wrists together. good to know!
Travelgalxo: Spray on neck, wrists and surprisingly behind your knees, the scent will last much longer .. Work it ladies!
Margot: Great tips, only, if you are going to buy different brands, don't buy to much cause parfume has a expiry date
Gozde: Some says apply Vaseline before you apply the perfume so that the scent lasts longer (in scale of hours or maybe a day )
Amorie: Umm... you can't damage a scent by rubbing your wrists together.
PearlÑ: Really useful 👌
