Perfumes can stain your clothes
image

Fact is, some perfumes can really stain clothes and while many would mist their perfumes into the air before stepping through it, you’re actually just wasting product and the scent will evaporate after a short amount of time. In this case, what you need to do is to spritz your perfume on your bare skin so that it lasts a little longer.

Keep perfume away from air, heat and light

Heat and light breaks down the perfume and lessens the quality of the fragrance. To increase its shelflife and preserve its quality, be sure to store your perfumes in cool dry areas like in your vanity drawers away from the windows or even in the refrigerator.

Apply perfume on your pulse points

There’s a reason why most people apply perfumes on their pulse points: they are warm and that will help diffuse the fragrance across your entire body. Some of your pulse points include your wrists, inside your elbows, your neck, and below your midriff.

On top of that, you can also smell fabulous all day long by applying an unscented lotion or moisturiser to your pulse points before you spritz on perfume. The oils in the moisturisers help to prolong the longevity of the perfume.

Spray on top of your ears

You read that right. Spraying your perfume right above your ears can actually make your favourite scent last longer. This is because the oilier your skin is, the better it holds scent — and if you didn’t already know this particular area is a little bit oilier than you think.
