1. Make your skin oily
Did you know that your favorite scent lasts much longer if your skin is a little oily? Now it is always advisable to rub your skin with a nourishing lotion after a shower. Preferably use a lotion that is mild in scent, so that your perfume dominates. You can also grease the places where you always spray your perfume with a lick of Vaseline.
2. Spray immediately after showering
The heat from the shower causes your pores to open. If you spray on your perfume as soon as possible after showering, the smell will get into your pores, as it were. And the scent will last longer! This way you also prevent your perfume from leaving stains on your clothing and/or jewelry. A real win-win!
3. DO NOT rub!!!
Many a woman rubs her wrists together to ‘spread’ her scent over both wrists. But this ‘trick’ actually backfires. The scent develops faster, causing the top notes in the perfume to disappear faster. Your scent may smell different and even fade. So spray a little perfume on both wrists to keep the scent as long as possible!
4. Aim for your pulse points
The places where you can feel your heartbeat are called pulse points. Here your veins are close to the skin and the temperature of your blood is perfect for applying perfume. The most strategic places are your temple, behind your earlobe, your neck, your wrists, your elbow and the backs of your knees.
