There is nothing more frustrating than spritzing your favourite luxury fragrance in the morning, only to find it has completely vanished by midday. Longevity is one of the most sought-after qualities in a perfume — and the good news is, there are simple techniques to make your scent last significantly longer.
Apply to Pulse Points
Pulse points are areas where your body generates the most heat, which helps to diffuse and amplify fragrance throughout the day. Key pulse points include the wrists, neck, behind the ears, inner elbows, and behind the knees. Avoid rubbing your wrists together after application — this breaks down the fragrance molecules and shortens longevity.
Moisturise Before You Spray
Fragrance clings far better to hydrated skin than dry skin. Apply an unscented moisturiser or body lotion before spritzing your perfume. For an even more powerful effect, use a matching scented body lotion from the same fragrance line.
Layer Your Fragrance
Fragrance layering — applying multiple complementary scents — is a technique beloved by perfume connoisseurs. Start with a scented shower gel or body wash, follow with a lotion, and finish with your eau de parfum or extrait. Each layer adds depth and extends wear time.
Choose Higher Concentrations
The concentration of a fragrance directly affects how long it lasts. Extrait de Parfum and Parfum concentrations contain the highest percentage of fragrance oil and will outlast an Eau de Toilette significantly. At Aura Privé, many of our finest offerings are available in high-concentration formats for maximum longevity.
Invest in your scent — and let it speak for you all day long.
