How to make your perfume last all day
If your fragrance has vanished by lunchtime, the fix is rarely more perfume.
Spray on moisturised skin
Fragrance clings to oil. An unscented body lotion applied first gives it something to hold on to.
Choose the right places
Pulse points are warm, which helps a scent project:
- the inside of the wrists — but do not rub them together
- the base of the throat
- behind the knees, for a scent that rises through the day
Store it properly
Light and heat break fragrance down. Keep bottles in a drawer, not on a sunny windowsill or in a steamy bathroom.
