How to Keep Your Perfume Fresh All Day Long

We all have that one fragrance or cologne that we just can't get enough of. But what if it's gone in just a few hours? How to extend the life of your luxury perfume? Worry not, below are some easy tips and tricks to ensure you stay smelling gorgeous all day long.

Start with a clean base.
The first step to making your fragrance last longer is to start with a clean base. Apply your perfume or cologne immediately after a shower or bath. Clean and odor-free skin holds fragrance better and for longer.

Moisturize your skin.
A well-hydrated and moisturized surface helps the scent last longer since dry skin absorbs scent easily, which makes it fade faster. Opt for unscented lotion that will seal all kinds of smells in. This way you will not just smell fresh but also maintain moisture on your skin.

Apply to pulse points.
The closest places between blood vessels and skin are named pulse points or hot spots, where blood circulation is more intense, raising temperatures around them, hence boosting aroma intensity. Examples are the wrists, neck, behind the ears, and the inner elbows. So dab or spray these spots gently when applying fragrance for a long-lasting effect.

Layer your scents.
To extend the longevity of your fragrance, try layering it with other products from the same line, such as a body wash, lotion, or body mist. This will help in building up and intensifying the scent, making it last throughout the day.

Avoid rubbing your wrists together.
We’ve all been guilty of this: spraying perfume on our wrists and rubbing them together to spread the odor. This might seem like a good idea, but it actually breaks the fragrance’s molecular structure, making it fade quickly. Let the fragrance dry by itself for a longer-lasting effect.

Consider the weather.
Fragrances evaporate at a high rate when it is hot and humid, while cold weather makes them last for longer. Considering this, choose your fragrance wisely together with the quantities that you apply. It is best to wear lighter scents during the hot season, while in colder weather, you can go for a stronger, more intense fragrance.

Store your fragrance properly.
Storing it in cool, dark places without much light or heat will make your scent last longer. Heat and light can greatly alter other aspects of perfume, making them lose their smell completely. Evaporation can also be avoided by ensuring that its bottle remains tightly closed.

Refresh throughout the day.
Some perfumes may naturally have a shorter life span. In such cases, carry a travel-size version of your favorite Newyork Army fragrance and reapply as needed. This will ensure you smell amazing throughout the day.

By incorporating these few tips into your daily routine, you are assured of long-lasting fragrances that will keep you smelling amazing all day long. So go ahead and spritz on your favorite scent with confidence, knowing that it will stay with you throughout the day.
