How to Make Your Perfume Last Longer — Expert Tips from Maisondessence.
Luxury perfumes deserve to be enjoyed throughout your entire day. Whether you love the smoky intensity of Tom Ford, the floral beauty of Valentino, or the fresh refinement of Armani, applying your fragrance correctly makes all the difference.
Here’s how to increase longevity:
1. Moisturize Before Applying
Perfume lasts longer on hydrated skin. Use an unscented lotion or a matching scented cream if available.
2. Spray on Pulse Points
Target warm areas like:
-
Neck
-
Wrist
-
Behind ears
-
Inner elbow
-
Chest
Body heat slowly releases the fragrance throughout the day.
3. Don’t Rub Your Wrists
Rubbing breaks down the top notes and shortens the scent lifespan.
4. Apply to Clothes for Extra Hold
Fabric retains perfume longer—just keep distance to avoid stains from darker fragrances.
5. Store Perfumes Properly
Keep bottles away from sunlight, heat, and humidity. Store them in their original packaging or a cool drawer to preserve their composition.
At maisondessence., we want your luxury perfumes to feel just as enchanting at the end of the day as when you first applied them.
