7 tricks to make a perfume last longer on your skin

The fragrance is more than just a scent. It's a signature, a way to leave an impression and feel your best.

But let's face it - even the most luxurious perfumes can fade faster than we'd like. Thankfully, there are plenty of clever tricks to help your scent linger on the skin all day long.

1 Apply after your shower: the best time to apply perfume is right after you've showered and dried off because your skin is clean and slightly warm.

2 Moisturise first: hydrated skin holds fragrance better.

3 Spray directly onto skin: fragrance bonds best with your skin's natural oils.

4 Focus on pulse points: wrists, neck, and inner elbows are key spots for perfume.

5 Use vaseline as a base: vaseline creates a barrier that locks the fragrance in place for hours.

6 Don’t rub your perfume: rubbing your wrists together breaks down the scent layers and makes it fade faster.

7 Don’t shake your perfume bottle: shaking perfume introduces air into the liquid, which can alter its chemical makeup and reduce its longevity.
