Make your perfume last all day with this helpful tip. For many of us, a quick spritz of perfume is the final touch we add before heading out of the house. The right perfume can be a game-changer for elevating your style, as the scent can help tie together your overall look and make you feel glamorous -especially if the fragrance is a bit pricey.
But all too often, we find that our perfumes don't last as long as we'd like them to. Scents sometimes seem to fade within a couple of hours, and we're left with a dull aroma that doesn't give the effect we'd hoped for. However, that could be down to user error rather than a problem with the fragrance - as it turns out many of us have been applying it incorrectly.
According to a perfume expert named Emelia, many of us are far too conservative when it comes to our fragrances. We use just one spritz on one wrist and then rub our wrists together to transfer the scent, but this isn't enough, and your perfume will fade quickly.
While you might be conscious of using too much perfume in one go, especially if you've splashed out on something expensive and want it to last, Emelia insisted you must use at least three sprays around your body for maximum results. She said: "You don't have to go overboard, we don't need to douse ourselves, but we can use a little bit more than one spray. At least for a daily routine, we're going to hit one wrist and leave it - don't rub it. Not because you're bruising the formula or anything, but just because we can put another spray on the other wrist.".
