2. Fragrances have found their own space in the world of fashion, and expensive designer perfumes are often seen as equally valuable as the Gucci bag or the Armani coat. However, the common tragedy that all of us face is that the smell of our fragrance often ends up fading away far too early. You apply the perfume, and only a few hours later, you feel that you can’t smell anything more.

Even though it is able to be smelled by others, most fragrances end up lasting less than 6 hours. That is hardly enough time for an entire day of work. There are a few reasons why this happens.

3. Fragrances are made of various notes or vapors that come together in their prominence to create a compound flavor. The first note which hits you is the top or headnotes, which end up evaporating only after 15 minutes. This is the reason why many experts say that you shouldn't judge a perfume from its initial smell.

The last remaining base notes or dry notes usually last up to six or more hours of usage. These tones or vapors of the fragrance are what sticks to the skin. At the end, when all of the fragrance has evaporated we stop smelling it. Follow us on Install our App

4. This article is going to give you a few amazing hacks that you can use in order to make sure that your fragrance lasts even longer for hours on end! 1. Upgrade Your Fragrance For those people whose idea of a fragrance is your daily local deodorant spray, they are in for a world of surprise when they start using stronger varieties of fragrance. These include Eau de parfum, extrait, and pure parfum, all of which are highly concentrated doses of fragrance. Diffuser photo created by PV production - freepik.com Follow us on Install our App

5. The benefit of this is that the smell not only lasts longer but also has a much stronger and prominent smell. These kinds of perfumes are made with high-quality ingredients and thus also smell much better than cheap deodorants. You can buy boutique fragrances online or from dedicated fragrance shops that sell them in malls or shopping centers to make sure of the authenticity of the products. Beware of counterfeits and knock-off brands. 2. Moisturize Your Skin Perfumes tend to dry out and evaporate faster whenever the conditions of your skin and the environment are less humid and hotter. This is because of the fact that the fragrance clings to the natural oils of our body. Thus, in humid conditions, the fragrance does not evaporate easily. Follow us on Install our App

6. Fingernails photo created by Racool_studio - freepik.com We cannot control the weather, but what we can do is moisturize our skin. By moisturizing, you make the surface of your skin much slicker and oilier. This oily and nourished skin helps the fragrance stick longer and protects it from evaporation. Additionally, people with naturally oily skins end up enjoying many longer-lasting perfumes. 3. Apply Fragrance Right After A Shower Many experts have suggested that the best time to apply your fragrance is immediately after you are done bathing and have wiped your body.

7. Because the skin is well moisturized from the water, and any other forms of odor have been swept away, the smell of the perfume can cut through and take the center stage. Perfume after a fresh shower boosts its longevity and gives you an all-day performance. 4. Do Not Rub the Perfume In When applying cologne, many people make the mistake of rubbing the fragrance around their face so that it spreads to a greater area.

What you should do instead is to lightly dab the cologne on the points on which you want to cover. Follow us on Install our App

8. You can do so with your hands, but can also use cotton balls or a light cloth for it. 5. Use Matching Products In order to boost the strength and longevity of the perfume, a great thing you can do is to combine it with other products that complement its flavor. Apply cream photo created by jcomp - freepik.com For example, if I am to apply a fruit citrus perfume, I can bathe using a lime or citrus-flavored soap. Matching products can include soap, shampoo, and moisturizer. All of them combined, create a unified fragrance note. The other smells support and reinforce the primary fragrance.

9. In this way, even though the initial notes may fade away, the overall smell of the fragrance is still preserved due to the odor of the accompanying products. 6. Apply to the Right Places Perfumes simply cannot be applied anywhere on the body. There are specific places where they are the most effective. The areas of the body such as the insides of the elbows, the armpits, the nape, the knees, and the wrists are important areas. This is so because they produce the most amount of sweat. The perfume helps fight away the bad scent of sweat on the body. Perfumery photo created by atlascompany - freepik.com Follow us on Install our App

10. Secondly, due to the heat that these areas of the body generate, they end up amplifying the effectiveness of the perfume. Another great hack is to apply a little perfume to the hair. The hair follicles end up acting as fragrance diffusers which makes them less prone to evaporation as they give off their scent more slowly. With all of these hacks, all you need to do is select the right perfume that fits you. The only thing left to do then is become the life of the party and outlast everyone else with your elegant fragrance! Follow us on Install our App
