This article will focus on keeping your perfume smelling great for longer, which is something that everyone appreciates.
Choose the Right Perfume
Picking out the right perfume for you can be part of your attempt to keep it smelling fresh. Just like you need to pick out the proper clothing, you also need to find the right perfume and choose how much of it you will wear. If you are using an expensive perfume or brand, a little goes a very long way and will last longer. You should choose a pleasant scent but not too overbearing, if possible. While no one likes to smell too much, some people are sickened by perfumes that they can't seem to get rid of.
Spray Perfume in the Right Places
If applied appropriately, spraying perfume on the inside of your wrists and the back of your neck will give you a couple of hours' worth of coverage. When it comes to spraying perfume, you want to ensure that you aren't spraying directly onto clothes you will wear for an extended period. If you decide to spray perfume onto clothing, even a light mist should be enough. You want to take special care when spraying perfumes near fabrics and materials because it might cause discoloration or damage to the material over time.
Moisturize your skin
Skin that is dry and has little moisture will not do your perfume any favors. If your skin is dry, use moisturizer regularly and ensure that your skin's natural oils are appropriately distributed. Use a good body lotion at least once every other day or whenever the skin feels a little dry. It will help make sure that the scent of your perfume lasts longer than it usually would.
Keep perfumes out of direct sunlight or heat
You probably figured this one out without any help, but it's always a good idea to keep perfumes in rooms where there isn't a lot of light or heat entering them. Light can cause perfumes to lose their color, making it difficult for you to discern what is left. Heat can make the perfume evaporate faster or even change its scent in a way that isn't pleasant.
Store your perfume properly
Have you ever noticed how some of your perfumes change in smell as time goes on? Storing your perfumes could be a reason why this is happening. You don't want to store your bottles horizontally because it will cause the liquid inside to become separated from the fragrance's top and bottom notes. To prevent this, store them upright with a cork at all times.
Don't spray perfume right before you leave the house
It's best not to spray your perfume right before you leave the house. It can cause the fragrance to not have time to develop and become more intense. Also, remember that when spraying your perfume, don't hold it close in your hands because this can also cause some of the scent to evaporate away. Hold the bottle at least six inches away from your body and follow all of the directions as you apply it.
Change your perfume if it starts losing its scent
If you have a powerful scent and become weaker over time, make sure that you change scents. It could be a sign that there is something wrong with the perfume or your body's chemistry about how it reacts with perfumes. You might even consider adding more than just one scent to your perfume collection to ensure that you are getting the most out of the perfume.
Avoid rubbing your wrist together
You might think this is an excellent way to spread scent, but it can cause your perfume to lose its scent and make it harder the next time you wear it. That's why it's best not to rub your wrist together when you are finished spraying perfumes. Rubbing the wrists together can also cause some of the scent to evaporate without giving off much.
It is essential to keep your perfume smelling fresh, but there are some things that you can do to make sure that it doesn't disappear. Putting a little effort into keeping your perfume lasting longer than before you purchased it is something that everyone should remember.
