Golden Rules for Applying Perfume You should realise as soon as possible that there are a number of little tricks and methods you can use to make perfumes last as long as possible on your skin—as well as ways you can make your favourite bottles have a longer shelf-life. For everyone who loves their perfume and fears the day they run out and have to buy a whole new bottle, we’ve collected some useful advice and golden rules to help your perfumes go further. Apply Perfume in the Right Places Your hair is an amazing place to spray your perfume (and hair sprays mists are a great way to make your perfumes have greater amplification). The heat rising up through your body and the movement of your hair will diffuse the scent, increasing your perfumes projection. Also, spritzing your hair is a good idea as the oils can help to hold the fragrance in. The only cautionary warning here is that perfume is mostly alcohol, so you won’t want to do this every single day. Consider it as a way to make your perfume go further during special occasions or important meetings. Otherwise, you will risk your hair becoming damaged and drying out because of the solution’s intensity. Similarly, whether its elizabeth arden red door or coco channel, perfume can actually be used on clothes to make it last longer and extend its reach. If you spray onto certain items of clothes that you wear often, like your scarf or a favourite jumper, you can recycle your scents for multiple days without needing to respray. Obviously you lose all the fragrance when you wash your clothes, so stick to spraying on items that don’t require a daily wash. Be Strategic In Your Actual Spray Method The classic tactic of spraying a cloud of perfume into the air and walking through it wastes a lot of expensive product. Experts generally agree that a short and restrained spray of your perfume close-up to your desired location is the best way to use your perfume. This could be your neck, your chest or your wrists. Other methods such as rollerballs are known to tamper with the scent due to the mixture of your body’s natural oil with the solutions, modifying the smell every time you use it.


Choose Your Perfume Wisely Floral scents are often good for people who like a ‘feminine’ or romantic smell. It is one of the most traditional scents that most people have tried at one time in their lives. However, they have a tendency to be less long-lasting than other fragrance groups. This is also the case for citrus smells with light, airy notes. You will probably already know if you are a fan of floral scented perfumes, but if you’re not sure, there are thousands of options available to choose from. If this is your thing, then don’t be put off. There’s no point changing to a completely different type of fragrance just for the sake of making your smell go further. Instead, we recommend bringing a smaller travel perfume bottle with you to work and giving yourself a ‘light’ top up after lunch.

Don’t Change Too Often With so many discount perfumes available today, it might be tempting to try multiple options from different designer brands. And there’s nothing wrong with this. But when you change, we recommend that you do so with knowledge and understanding of what you already like. If you make rash decisions, you could end up with bottles that never get used. One golden rule is to spend your valuable money on bottles that you really really like, even if they’re more expensive than others. Also, let your friends and family know that if they’re buying you a perfume, it should be a specific type or brand such as elizabeth arden red door, so that you can make your perfume go further.
