How to prolong the durability of perfume? Basic Rules

Recognized perfume experts say that the durability of a fragrance is far from the most important indicator of quality. Much more important is its holistic sound, the quality of the ingredients used, the harmony of the aroma pyramid. Nevertheless, every girl would still like the perfume she uses to accompany her not only for the first couple of hours after application, but at least until the evening. Of course, perfumes are different: both very unstable, and those that easily last for days after a single application. If you still have complaints about the durability of the perfume you use, then we will be happy to tell you how to extend its durability.

1. First of all, it is very important to follow the rules for storing perfume. Yes, this is a somewhat non-obvious point, but it is very important that the perfume itself retains all its qualities for a long time. If you want your fragrance to last for a long time, do not store it in the bathroom or other warm and humid places. The bathroom is categorically, for example, not suitable for storing perfumes. Instead, try to always hide it in the box in which the bottle was originally packed so that direct sunlight does not fall on it, and choose a spacious cabinet shelf in a cool, damp-free room as its permanent location. If you store perfumes incorrectly, they will quickly deteriorate and lose all their aromatic qualities, and even the most persistent perfume will not only lose its durability, but will also be distorted.
2. Try to use not only the perfume itself, but also other products from this series. As a rule, manufacturers also produce other products in addition to perfumes: for example, hand creams, body lotions, shower gels, deodorants, hair perfumes, and even scented candles for the home. If you wash with a shower gel with the appropriate fragrance, then moisturize the skin with lotion, and then apply perfume, the smell will be many times more persistent.
3. Before applying the fragrance to your wrists, neck or any other part of the body, lubricate it with petroleum jelly – it is odorless, and therefore will not "interfere" with your perfume. Just don’t apply too thick a layer of Vaseline. Vaseline will allow you to securely "fix" the fragrance on the skin, so that it will remain on its surface until the evening. In addition to Vaseline, you can also use an unscented cosmetic oil, or a greasy cream – also without unnecessary fragrances.
4. If you want your perfume to be as durable as possible, then you should pay attention to this moment at the selection stage. In particular, focus on eau de parfum and eau de parfum fragrances. These types of perfumes are distinguished by a higher concentration of aromatic substances in the composition. Then, like the concentrations of eau de toilette and eau de cologne, you will definitely not be pleased with the durability.
5. Spray perfume not before leaving the house, but immediately after taking a shower or before getting dressed. It is with this application that your perfume will last as long as possible, and the morning application of perfume itself will turn into a pleasant ritual. The fact is that any perfume will last longer on well-moisturized skin than on the surface of clothing if it is applied directly to a jacket or coat. However, if this is your favorite perfume and you do not plan to change it in the near future, then you may well scent your clothes. It is best, from clothes, to apply perfume on a scarf.
6. In no case do not overdo it with the amount of perfume to keep the scent for a long time. Even if it seems to you that you applied a little and can withstand this amount quite well, then think about those around you: for example, about those who come after you into the elevator and may well turn out to be a dislike of your fragrance.
7. Also, an important condition for maintaining the durability of the aroma is its spraying on the right parts of the body. They are considered: wrists, back of the head, neck, bend of the elbow, skin area under the knees. Also, try to perfume your hair: with every movement of your head, your hair will thus exude a pleasant aroma. Applying fragrances to these areas will allow the perfume to “sound" for several hours longer than if it was sprayed all over the body in a row.
8. Carry a miniature of your favorite perfume with you. If you feel like the fragrance is “fading”, apply a little more. You can find miniatures in almost every brand, but if there are none, pour a couple of milliliters into a small atomizer.
