How to Make Your Perfume Last Longer

A great fragrance should be enjoyed, not constantly reapplied. While every scent and every person is different, a few simple habits can help you get more from your perfume.

1. Start with moisturised skinApply an unscented moisturiser before fragrance, especially if your skin tends to be dry. Perfume often performs better when the skin is not dehydrated.

2. Spray, then leave it aloneSpray your fragrance and allow it to dry naturally. You do not need to aggressively rub your wrists together. Let the fragrance develop at its own pace.

3. Use warm areas strategicallyWrists, the sides of the neck and other warm areas can help fragrance diffuse. You do not need to cover every pulse point; a few well-placed sprays are usually enough.

4. Consider clothing carefullyFabric can retain scent differently from skin. If you spray clothing, test an inconspicuous area first because some perfume materials can mark delicate or light fabrics.

5. Match fragrance to the occasion and weatherFresh scents can feel fantastic in heat, while amber, vanilla, gourmand and oud profiles often shine in cooler conditions. Choosing a fragrance that suits the environment can improve how satisfying its performance feels.

6. Store the bottle properlyKeep perfume away from direct sunlight, high heat and major temperature swings. A cool, dry cupboard or drawer is generally better than leaving bottles in a sunny bathroom window.
