Perfume Layering Hacks: How to Make Your Scent Last All Day
Share
Layering perfumes helps create a long-lasting, unique scent that stays with you all day. By combining different fragrances the right way, you can make your perfume smell stronger and more personal.
How to Layer Perfumes for Best Results
1. Start with a Scented Base
-
Use a matching-scented body wash when you shower.
-
Apply unscented lotion or oil before spraying perfume—this helps the fragrance last longer.
2. Choose Scents That Work Well Together
❌ Avoid mixing scents that clash, such as heavy musk with light citrus.
3. Apply in the Right Order
-
Heavy scents first (like oils or balms).
-
Spray perfumes next (on pulse points).
-
Finish with a light body mist (for a soft touch).
4. Spray on the Best Spots
-
Wrists, neck, behind ears (where body heat keeps the scent alive).
-
Back of knees, ankles (scent rises with body heat).
-
Hair & clothes (spray lightly for a lasting trail).
Extra Tips to Make Perfume Last Longer
✔ Moisturize skin first – Dry skin absorbs perfume faster, making it fade quickly.
✔ Use a little petroleum jelly on pulse points before spraying—it helps the scent stick.
✔ Store perfume in a cool, dark place (heat and sunlight can ruin the fragrance).
