It’s closing in on 5 pm, you have a date and the perfume you sprayed this morning is overwhelmed by the “smell of work”. Well, this is just one scenario but a slowly vanishing fresh scent, after a long day, is common. So, why is it your perfume doesn’t linger longer? Why is it you don’t smell amazing all the time? Let’s find out.
You’re Not Using Vaseline
Due to the occlusive nature of vaseline, rubbing it on your pulse points before perfuming captures the fragrance, allowing you to smell fresher for longer.
You’re Not Targeting Your Pulse Points
There are certain warm spots on your body that, when spritzed, allow the perfume to last longer. They are the insides of your wrists, inside your elbows, on the base of the throat, below your midriff, behind your knees and ears.
You’re Rubbing Your Wrists Together
It’s not unusual for people to rub their wrists together after perfuming. You may be causing more harm than good by forcing the top notes to disappear, resulting in a short-lived fragrance.

You Store Perfume In Your Bathroom
Are you guilty? If so, then it’s best to move your lovely perfume to your bedroom. The humidity and dampness of a bathroom’s environment deteriorate the quality of a perfume.
