We hate to say this, but you are probably applying your perfume in the wrong way. Yes, there is a wrong way or a right way to spritz your perfume. Maybe, that is only why perfume scents can last like only two hours max before it fades. But that’s ok! So, do not freak out. We have the solutions for all your fragrance-related problems. You may call us a fragrance pro after years of spritzing, smelling, and spraying perfumes. We have amassed a few tricks on how to apply perfume and make it last longer.

1.) Apply perfume with unscented deodorant:
We know that you love the floral fragrance of your deodorant, but this scent, when paired up with your vanilla perfume, is a big no! When you are spritzing your fragrance- make sure that you use unscented deodorant.
2.) The concentration of your perfume matters:
Concentration is a fancy name for the ratio of perfume to alcohol. It helps in diffusing a scent and determines how long the smell of your perfume will last on your skin.

3.) Applying perfume after using an unscented body oil:
Dry skin does not hold the perfume whereas, your oily skin does. So, you can layer an unscented body oil to add a glow and then sport your perfume. It holds your scent better, and you have to reapply less frequently.
4.) Choosing the right points:
Pulse points are the best areas to apply perfumes. These are points where arteries are closer to the skin and where you can feel your heartbeat. Also, pulse points are warm points. They help the fragrance to stay for a longer time.

5.) Don’t forget about your hair:
Your hair holds the scent of the fragrance even longer than your skin. So, you can apply a small portion of it on your hair or your hairbrush because alcohol fragrances can damage your hair and make it dry.
Always make sure that you apply the fragrance only to the freshly washed hair because the natural oils on your hair can affect the fragrance of your perfume. You can apply a little perfume on your hair, make a ponytail, and after let your hair down. You’ll always get an impressive scent from your hair.
Also, there are many hair perfumes with good fragrances. So, you can buy one for yourself either online or offline.
6.) Keeping your fragrances in the right place:
It is always better to store your fragrances in a dark place without rapid temperature changes. Never store them in the bathroom or warm or light place. It is always better to keep your fragrances in your closet or a vanity table. Also, make sure that your perfumes are far away from the light.
7.) Minimal spritzing is more than enough:
  Heavy perfumes can cause a headache not only for the people passing by but also for you. So, if you do not want to hate your favorite fragrance use it in a light amount. Also, if you want to try some light fragrances, you can try using body mists. They are much cheaper than the usual fragrances.
8.) Apply vaseline before applying perfume:
 You can apply a little vaseline on your pulse points before spraying perfumes to make them last longer. Petroleum jelly holds the fragrance to your skin for a much longer period. So, use petroleum jelly on your dry skin.

9.) Never rub your wrists together after applying perfume:
Make sure that you don’t dab your favorite scent on your wrists after spraying. If you rub your wrists together, the fragrance will disappear. Also, it won’t stay much longer. So, never do that!
10.) You can also consider applying perfume oils:
A simple form of perfume oil is the perfume roll-ons. You can apply these roll-ons directly onto your skin at the pulse points or onto your fingerprints. Also, some perfume oils are not in the form of roll-ons, simply small bottles. They are easy to carry and convenient to apply. The perfume oils are much more concentrated and last long on your skin.
11.) Applying attar:
If you love wearing perfume oils, then you must have heard about attar perfume oils. They are made very naturally from different botanical sources. You can purchase it online too. Simply, apply the attar on your clothes with the help of an applicator or a stick. So, put a small drop of attar on your inner wrist and then dab it lightly.
