How To Make Your Fragrance Last Longer

Have you ever wondered how you can make your fragrance last longer? It starts with where you spray, but it doesn’t end there. A fragrance’s staying power depends on everything from your skin to the notes in the bottle to how you apply it. A few small changes can make your scent last longer and smell better while it does.

The Skin

Fragrance performs best on hydrated skin. Dry skin can absorb fragrance more quickly, which causes the scent to fade faster. By applying an unscented moisturizer, you give the perfume something to hold onto and create a smooth base for the scent to develop.

Pulse Points

There is a reason fragrance has traditionally been applied to the wrists, neck and behind the ears. Those areas, known as your pulse points, are naturally warmer and help your fragrance develop throughout the day. Mist the classic spots, but don’t be afraid to try new areas too. Collarbones, chest, inside the elbows or in your hair are great spots that hold scent for a memorable, lasting wear.

Don’t Rub It In?

Is it just me, or is it a habit to mist fragrance on your wrist and rub them together? This is one of the most common fragrance habits and it is one worth breaking. When you rub your wrists together, you’re disturbing the way it is going to develop on your skin. Some of the delicate top notes will dissipate more quickly. So... spray and let it sit.

Layering With Intention

One of the easiest ways to create a fragrance that feels more personal, and potentially last longer. But, layering isn’t about adding 10+ sprays at once. It’s about finding a delicate balance of notes that work together to embody an entirely new scent experience. Start with what you want to amplify. If you love fresh notes, add an aquatic-driven fragrance next. If you want something a bit cozier, pair a sweet vanilla with a woody musk.

Give Your Clothes A Little Attention

Fragrance doesn’t only live on your skin. Fabric can hold scent longer than on skin. By adding a light mist to a jacket, scarf or sweater, you can leave a subtle trail long after the notes have settled onto your skin.

4-Step Fragrance Routine

If you want your scent to last, think about fragrance as a ritual rather than a final step.

Hydrate
Start with clean, moisturized skin.

Apply
Focus on pulse points and areas where you want the fragrance to develop.

Layer
Pair complementary scents when you want more dimension.

Leave It Alone
Let the fragrance settle instead of rubbing it into the skin.

Sweet Without Being Overpowering

I absolutely love this perfume. The coconut and vanilla are the first notes I notice, but after a while the amber makes it feel warm and cozy. It lasts most of the day on my skin and I've received so many compliments.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're happy to hear you're enjoying the fragrance. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

Will definitely repurchase

This has become one of the most complimented perfumes I own. The coconut, vanilla, and amber blend together beautifully, and the large bottle offers excellent value. I'm already planning to buy another bottle before this one runs out.

Beautiful daily perfume

I've worn this almost every day for the past month. It works equally well at the office, for dinner, or running errands. Very versatile fragrance that lasts nicely.

Exceeded expectations

I ordered this without smelling it first and couldn't be happier. It's sweet, creamy, elegant, and lasts much longer than I expected.

Warm and comforting

This has become one of my favorite winter perfumes. The amber and vanilla create such a comforting scent while the coconut keeps it unique. Great lasting power too.
