My frangrance scent always wears out after 1 hour!

My two daughters love Victoria Secret’s body mists but they don’t stay very long . Now, I would love to buy some of Eau BpDe Toilets for my girls. Thank you these beautiful and useful information. I should check out more often.

I had the same issue so switched to Eau De Toilette/Parfum and they definitely linger for a few hours longer and have a noticeable smell. The Body Shop has a great little selection of scents for around $27.95. The bottle is small, but you don’t need to re-spray throughout the day and I always get complimented when I’m wearing it – I love the vanilla scent but there are different options for different seasons =)

Try the Vaseline trick! It definitely locks in the perfume for longer. Also, body mists won’t ever last as they consist mostly of water and that’s why I love them for the summer time. They’re super lightweight and don’t make me feel nauseous during hot weather like the more potent perfumes. The most long-lasting perfume I’ve worn is Chance Eau Tendre by Chanel (pink bottle)… That lasts for days and days on a coat/jacket, even through washes!

You could also try using fragrance body/hand lotions (TOCCA has good ones).

I read somewhere that apparently applying perfume behind the ears and on the bellybutton are great spots to help make it last. Also applying a small amount of vaseline underneath the perfume will also help make the scent last

Apparently dabbing some glycerin on the areas you apply perfume to helps it to stay longer – although I haven’t tried this myself so I can’t say if it works or not.

I agree with what the other ladies have said…

There are a lot of things you can do to help longevity, but generally, I follow these steps myself:

• Choose an EdP (parfum) over an EdT or body spray because perfume oils last longer on the skin.
• Moisturise well before application, as perfume adheres better to well moisturised skin.
• Apply generously to pulse points (decolletage, wrists, elbows, behind ears) as it will help distribute the fragrance better.
• Layer fragrances with the same scent in shower gels/body lotions.
• Make sure you store your fragrances well, out of direct sun to prevent the fragrance oils from degrading prematurely.

I wrote a post on it on my blog a while ago, if you’d like to check it out for more tips.

This happens to me too. I guess you just have to test out different fragrances and see which ones agree with your body chemistry. Best to ask for samples at stores and try them out before you purchase 🙂

Layering with lotion is an excellent and effective way to enhance the scent. Also, spraying clothing and the pulse points. Hair perfumes are great-plus spritzing the scalp of your head is very effective because as your body temperature rises, heat escapes through the top of your head, thus releasing aroma.

I’d also recommend using matching body products for your favourite scents ie a shower gel, and especially a body lotion or body cream, if your favourite scent has them available.

Misfortun8’s suggestion of spraying scents into / onto clothing is a fantastic idea too, the scent doesn’t evaporate from clothing anywhere near as quickly as it does from skin.

Some people also like to spray perfumes up high and walk into it, so it settles lightly on hair, upper body and clothing.

I agree with those above, body mists are the lightweights of the fragrance world.

I’ve discovered that if you’ve got a perfume or eau de toilette which lacks longevity, spraying your clothes instead of your skin might help. It depends on the fabric you’re wearing as to whether it will stain, so that’s a concern. Give a squirt or two to your bra before you put your top on might help.
