How to make perfume last longer? The correct way to apply it and the best places to apply it

Perfume is an attractive item whose scent can greatly affect the impression you have of it. However, even if you have a favorite scent, it can quickly disappear if you don't know the correct way to apply it or the right places to apply it. In this article, we will explain in detail the tricks to maximize the effect of perfume and enjoy the scent for a long time, as well as the places where you should apply it.

Basic structure of perfume and how long the scent lasts

Perfume scents are generally divided into three categories:

1. Top notes
   This is the first scent you notice after applying perfume, and it lasts for anywhere from a few minutes to 15 minutes. It often contains light scents such as citrus and floral.
2. Middle Notes
   This scent appears after the top notes and is the central element of the perfume, which can be said to be the "original scent." It lasts for about 30 minutes to 2 hours and is characterized by a fruity or spicy scent.
3. Last Note
   Also known as the lingering scent of perfume, it is a deep, long-lasting fragrance that adheres closely to the skin. It is often a woody or musky scent, and can last for more than five hours.

As you can see, perfume changes scent over time, but how long it lasts can vary greatly depending on where you apply it.

The best place to apply perfume

Perfume is affected by body temperature and blood flow, so applying it to certain areas will allow you to enjoy the scent for longer. The following are some particularly effective areas:

1. Neck

The neck is an area where blood vessels pass close to the skin, and the body temperature is high, making it an area where scents spread easily. If you apply the scent from behind your ears to your jawline, the scent will spread with your natural movements.

2. Wrist

The wrists are also warm, so perfume is likely to have an effect on them. However, be careful not to rub your wrists after applying them. This can break down the perfume molecules and alter the scent. Lightly tapping your wrists is enough.

3. Inner Elbow

The skin on the inside of your elbow is soft and maintains a constant body temperature, making it ideal for perfume application. Applying perfume here will help the scent last longer.

4. Décolletage

The décolleté, located between the neck and chest, is a perfect area for women to apply perfume. The body temperature is high and the scent spreads naturally with movement.

5. Back and waist

If you want to enjoy the scent more subtly, we recommend applying perfume to your back or lower back. The scent will waft softly with every movement, giving a subtle impression.

6. Behind the ankles and knees

If you want to distribute the scent to your lower body, the ankles and the backs of the knees are effective. When wearing a dress or skirt, the scent will naturally rise and enhance your charm.

Techniques to make perfume last

1. Keep your skin moisturized

Perfume has the property that the scent will stick better to moisturized skin. Since the scent may disappear quickly on dry skin, prepare your skin with an unscented body cream or moisturizer before applying perfume.

2. Use your pulse points

Areas with active blood flow have higher body temperatures, which helps the perfume diffuse its scent more efficiently and make it last longer.

• wrist
• Behind the ear
• Décolletage
• Inside of elbow

These points allow the scent to float softly as you move, creating a natural effect.

3. Layering perfumes

You can further increase the longevity of your scent with a technique called "layering." First, use a body cream or lotion with the same scent, then layer your perfume on top of that to increase the adhesion and longevity of the scent.

4. Get creative with your clothing fragrances

While you should avoid spraying it directly onto your clothes, there is a way to gently infuse your clothes with the scent: spray the perfume into an air space and then pass your clothes through it, leaving a faint scent behind.

5. Use in moderation

Applying too much perfume can have the opposite effect and make the scent too strong. By applying the right amount, you can enjoy a natural, even scent for a long time.

6. Consider when to reapply

The scent will gradually fade over time, so it's a good idea to carry a roll-on or mini bottle of perfume with you and reapply a small amount to your wrist or behind your ear whenever you feel the scent is starting to fade.

How you store your perfume is also important.

Maintaining the quality of the perfume itself is also essential to making the scent last longer.

• Avoid direct sunlight
  Perfume is sensitive to light and heat, so it is important to store it in a dark, cool place.
• Close the lid tightly
  The scent will deteriorate if exposed to air, so be sure to close the lid tightly after use.
• Do not store in the bathroom
  Avoid humid environments as this can cause the perfume ingredients to deteriorate.

Summary: Enjoy your own unique scent

To prolong the effects of perfume, it is important to be conscious of where and how you apply it, as well as your daily care. By incorporating the right knowledge and techniques, you can not only enjoy the scent for a long time, but also express your individuality and give a more attractive impression.
