Some of us wear perfume every single day, and we never realize that we're wearing it wrong. That's why Her Campus has some important information that you should read. Here are a few tips on wearing perfume the right way, so that the scent lasts longer on your skin:
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.

After all, you don't want someone from across the room to start coughing when you enter.

Spray samples on your body, but then wait 20 minutes to see how the scent smells after it has diffused on your body.
5. Buy Multiple Brands

Comments
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 )
Chanel: Never spray perfume on your jewelry; for instance on your necklace. I heard that the accessory losses its shine.
Mish: I love smelling nice it's the only way to go :)
lalagirlgobama: Why would you buy different perfumes for your mood
Travelgalxo: Spray on neck, wrists and surprisingly behind your knees, the scent will last much longer .. Work it ladies!
Lily: Great tips. Also petroleum jelly is suppose to make your scents last MUCH longer
Parvathy: Why don't perfume makers sell their expensive perfumes in smaller bottles? They would not denature and lose their scent. We would be tempted to buy more because the price would be lower. My daughter and I exchange bottles when half the bottle is used.
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!
