30 TIPS ON HOW TO WEAR PERFUME (AND MAKE IT LAST LONGER?)
The hair holds the scent of the fragrance even longer than the skin. You can apply a small amount of your perfume spray on hair, or better on your hairbrush because the alcohol in fragrances can damage your hair and make it dry.
Remember: only to apply the fragrance to freshly-washed hair, because the natural oils of your hair can affect the scent of the perfume.
Personally, I like to spray a little of my perfume on the hair, then make a ponytail and after a while let my hair down. In this way, I always get an impressive scent from my hair.
There is also a lot of hair perfumes, which don’t harm your hair. You can find such hair fragrances among many designer and niche perfume brands.
Some of them are: Chanel, Dior, Narciso Rodriguez, Byredo, Diptyque, Maison Francis Kurkdjian, and other brands.
8. DON’T SPRAY PERFUME ON THE CLOTHES
Spray the perfume directly on your skin, not on your clothes, because the fragrance can leave some stains. Make sure that your perfume dries on the skin, and only then put on the clothes.
You can also apply your perfume to the pulse points, which are not covered with your clothes. This way, your perfume will sound brighter and you will feel it better during the day.
Be warned: do not spray your perfume on jewelry because the fragrance can damage it.
Your clothes can keep the scent of perfume for a very long time. Of course, if you want you can do it at your own risk. But it is better to avoid spraying the fragrance on the clothes.
As a last resort, you can spray the perfume on your scarf. It will create an additional scented aura around you.
9. KEEP FRAGRANCES IN THE RIGHT PLACE
To make your perfumes live longer, keep them in the dark place without rapid changes in temperature. Do not store them in the bathroom or other damp, warm and too light place.
Store the fragrances in your closet, on the shelf or on a vanity table. But make sure that your perfumes are far from the light.
You can also keep your perfumes in the boxes they originally come in. It will prevent them from damaging.
10. DON’T WEAR TOO MUCH PERFUME
Your perfume should attract people and not the other way around. That is why it is better to avoid to apply too much perfume.
If you wear the same perfume day after day, you can get used to it and don’t feel the scent as much as before. But it doesn’t mean, that people around you don’t feel it also.
From time to time, it is better to change your perfume. This way your olfactory system will not get used to one scent, and you will feel your fragrance at its best.
In addition to that, wearing different perfumes and trying different scents develop your olfactory system and make your fragrance experience better and brighter.
11. CHOOSE THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF SPRAYS
If you don’t know how many sprays of fragrance should you do, check the perfume concentration of your fragrance.
If you have some light and refreshing Eau de Cologne or Eau de Toilette, make 3-4 sprays without any worries. But if you have some intensive and heavy Eau de Parfum or Perfume, make 1-2 sprays.
