How to Make Perfume Last Longer on Your Skin

Apply on Moisturized Skin

Perfume sticks better to hydrated skin. Use a scent-free moisturizer or a matching body lotion before spraying your perfume.

Focus on Pulse Points

Spray on warm areas like your neck, wrists, behind ears, elbows, and knees. These pulse points help diffuse the scent naturally. (Avoid direct application if you have sensitive skin — test on a small area first.)

Don’t Rub Your Wrists Together

Rubbing can break down the fragrance molecules, causing the scent to fade faster.

Layer Your Fragrance

Use matching shower gels, lotions, and perfumes. This layering technique builds intensity and lasting power.

Spray on Clothes

Applying perfume to your clothes can help the scent stay longer without reapplication. Fabric tends to trap fragrance longer than skin.
