Tips for keeping your perfume lasting

1. Understand the type of perfume

There are several different types of perfumes on the market, and understanding their types is essential to ensure good durability.

Perfumes (or Parfum) are those that concentrate the largest quantity of essential oils, providing a lasting effect that varies from 6 to 8 hours. In contrast, body splashes are less concentrated, lasting only 1 hour, ideal for post-bath use and for a refreshing sensation.

2. Prepare and moisturize your skin

Before spraying the fragrance, the skin needs to be clean and well hydrated with a neutral moisturizing cosmetic, this creates a base and better adhesion for the perfume molecules for a long duration.

3. Apply perfume in the right places

The best points on the body for prolonged fixation are the areas with the highest pulsation, such as the wrists, neck, behind the ears and also in the folds of the body, such as the knees and elbows.

Spraying fragrance after bathing, in addition to being a self-care ritual, is also essential, as this is when the pores are open to receive the perfume and enhance the absorption of the fragrance.

4. Store correctly

To preserve its quality and longevity, perfume must be stored in a cool, dark and dry environment, away from sunlight, as this may accelerate the evaporation process of the perfume.

5. Gentle application

It is important to apply the perfume gently and without overdoing it in a single area to prevent the scent from becoming too strong and evaporating quickly. By applying gentle layers, the perfume molecules will come into contact with the body gradually, promoting a slower and longer-lasting fixation.
