Your lastest blind buy is ticking every box that a “perfume that lasts all day” should. Powerful opening notes, lingering sillage and an alluring aroma. However, you notice the scent fading more and more, ALOT quicker than the ‘long-lasting’ tagline suggested. This is an experience we’ve all likely shared and parting ways after all that anticipation isn’t easy. But what If we said you could actually make your perfume last significantly longer.

The general gist for extending your fragrance’s scent performance is:

Clean > Lotion > Pulse Points > Clothes

In this blog we’ll be delving into each of these tried and tested methods alongside 4 vital secrets for those who truly want to smell irresistible all day.


How To Make Your Perfume last longer in 4 Simple Steps and Vital Secrets

Step 1 – Cleanse

As you’re aware it’s important to regularly shower/bathe for good hygiene. However, it’s key for a long-lasting scent too as the skin better absorbs perfume oils when warm. Ensure you dry off thoroughly so the perfume better sticks.

Step 2- Non-Scented Moisturizer

Similar to the last step applying moisturizer softens and hydrates the skin. This helps to lock in the perfume oil as it takes longer to fully absorb the oils, helping the scent to not fade as quickly.

Step 3 Apply To Pulse Points

Pulse points are a defining factor in your perfume lasting the 5-8 hours test. Pulse points are areas where blood vessels are closest to the skin, letting you feel your pulse. Most importantly, they’re the warmest areas of the body. Perfect for perfume oils to do it’s work and diffuse more effectively, extending the scent’s longevity. The best areas to apply perfume is:

  • Wrists
  • Neck
  • Inner Elbow and Knees
  • Behind Ears

Ensure you apply the spray without rubbing, as it can cause the fragrance to dissipate quicker.

Step 4- Add To Your Clothes

To add the cherry on top add an additional layer of fragrance onto your clothes to improve the sillage (The trail a perfume leave behind) and turn heads. It’s important to use from a safe distance and don’t overuse so it doesn’t stain clothes or become overpowering.


Perfume Still Won’t Last?

If you’ve tried each step and still can’t get the perfume to last, here are some things to consider:

Middle and Base Notes

Perfumes are generally comprised of a 30/50/20 rule. 30% top notes, 50% middle notes, and 20% base notes. Top notes are only a quick entrance to a fragrance’s scent profile that evaporates just as quickly. It’s important to see whether the middle and base notes have long-lasting ingredients, such as woody/musky notes, as they’re largely responsible for a long-lasting aroma. Below we’ve handpicked some of our best long-lasting perfumes you need to try:
