How to Make Your Perfume Last Longer All Day
Everyone loves smelling good all day, but sometimes perfume fades away too quickly — especially in Pakistan’s hot weather. The good news is, with a few easy steps, you can make your perfume last much longer.
Here are some simple tips you can follow:
1. Apply Right After a Shower
The best time to apply perfume is right after you take a shower. Your skin is clean and slightly moist, which helps the scent stay longer.
2. Use on Moisturized Skin
Dry skin doesn’t hold perfume well. Always apply perfume on moisturized skin. You can use an unscented lotion or a light oil before spraying your perfume.
3. Spray on Pulse Points
Perfume works best on warm areas of your body — these are called pulse points.
Spray on:
- Wrists
- Neck
- Behind your ears
- Inside your elbows
These spots release heat, which helps spread the fragrance throughout the day.
4. Don’t Rub Your Wrists Together
Many people rub their wrists after spraying perfume — this is a mistake! It breaks down the scent molecules and makes the smell fade faster. Just let the perfume dry naturally.
5. Spray on Clothes (Carefully)
Perfume stays longer on fabric than skin. You can lightly spray on your shirt, scarf, or dupatta — but test it first to make sure it doesn’t stain.
6. Layer Your Scent
If you have matching body lotion or oil, use it before applying perfume. This technique is called layering and helps the scent stay stronger for hours.
7. Keep Perfume Away from Heat and Sunlight
Always store your perfume in a cool, dry place — not in direct sunlight or your car. Heat can damage the perfume and make the scent weaker.
8. Reapply If Needed
If you’re out all day, carry a small travel-size perfume or 5ml tester from Scents by Saeed. You can reapply whenever needed to stay fresh and confident.
Final Tip:
A good perfume doesn’t just smell nice — it leaves a lasting impression. With the right habits and quality fragrances from Scents by Saeed, you can enjoy your favorite scent all day long.
