Apply where scent lives
Pulse points — wrists, neck, behind the ears — are warmer and help a fragrance develop.
Apply to moisturised skin after a shower; hydrated skin holds scent longer than dry skin.
Don't rub, and don't over-spray
Rubbing wrists together crushes the top notes and shortens the opening.
Start light. A fragrance should be discovered, not announced — and you can always reapply.
Store it like you mean it
Sunlight, heat and humidity are the enemies of a composition. Keep bottles closed, cool and out of direct sun.
The bathroom is usually the worst place to store perfume.
Which profiles persist?
Woody, amber, leather and musk bases linger longest; citrus and green openings are brightest but briefest.
If you want all-day presence, lean toward deeper bases or apply over an unscented moisturiser first.
Quick takeaways
- Moisturised skin holds scent longer.
- Store cool, dark and closed.
- Deeper bases outlast bright citrus openings.
