Perfumes can be one of the most important aspects of maintaining personal hygiene. Wearing perfumes is regarded as something that is very common and should not be ignored, and people who refuse to wear perfume or at least a body mist are shunned from society itself.
Whether you have no idea what perfumes are or don't own any, or you have spent ages perfecting the craft of owning perfumes that cater to your personal preferences, you still should know how to wear them.
Believe it or not, there is a correct way to wear perfumes and a wrong way that should be avoided. The main reason for that is simply so that you don't end up applying perfume, and then it doesn't even last a few minutes before the smell evaporates.
Our article will cover all the correct ways to wear perfume to make it last longer and common mistakes to avoid to keep smelling amazing all day and night!
How To Make Your Perfume Last Longer- The Right Way
Now, when it comes to making your perfume last longer, there are quite a few ways that you can do that, and they are all listed down below so that they are easy to follow when wearing perfumes!
Moisturized Skin
One thing you have been told since you were a kid is that keeping your skin moisturized with a good body or face moisturizer is the way to go. The same trick can be used to make your perfume last longer.
After you use a good moisturizer, spray perfume on your skin, and it can cause the scent to be locked in for longer periods, making it last all day.
Pulse Point Technique
If you didn't already know, pulse points are extremely reactive to higher temperatures, and fragrances can also last longer if they are applied to pulse points.
The best pulse points are the wrist, the neck, or even behind your knees, which will ensure that the perfume lasts as long as possible.
Vaseline Does Wonders
Next up, while you are wearing perfumes, a rather niche hack that people might not know is that Vaseline can be your best friend if you want to smell good all day long.
Since vaseline is considered petroleum jelly, it is denser and can lock in moisture and scent very well.
For that reason alone, it is recommended that you apply a little bit of Vaseline at your pulse points and then apply the perfume on top of it. This will ensure an amazing smell all day.
Mistakes To Avoid While Wearing Perfumes
Moving on, now that you know a few tips that can help make your scent last all day, there is also a wrong way to wearing perfumes, and we are going to highlight them here!
These range from rubbing the perfume in, not knowing where to apply it, and the fact that perfume needs to be reapplied!
Rubbing The Perfume In
One major mistake that people end up making whenever they pick up the perfume of the day is to apply the perfume to their wrists, or wherever they want it to last long, and then constantly rub it in.
While there may be a major misconception that rubbing it locks the scent in, it does the opposite of locking it in. Avoid rubbing the wrists together, as it gets rid of the scent to dry out faster and renders it useless after wearing perfumes.
Not Knowing Where To Apply
Another thing you might be messing up is not knowing what points to apply the perfume.
There are certain points where the perfume will last longer, and there are also certain points where you should avoid applying any fragrances. The best places to apply are towards the neck, the wrist, or the back of your knees.
You should NOT apply perfume on your legs, privates, or any part of your body that may be irritating and sensitive.
Perfume Needs To Be Reapplied
Next, another thing to know is that perfume does not last all day, regardless of how strong it may be. It will always need to be reapplied at least once throughout the day.
Consistent but effective reapplication ensures that it lasts longer than usual and makes wearing perfumes all the more rewarding.
Conclusion
While knowing how to wear perfume might not be the most common knowledge, it is very easy to do basic research and learn where to apply it so that it can keep you smelling amazing.
