When Choosing an Affordable Perfume

No doubt you want your fragrance to announce you've stepped into the room, and in a positive way. You want to feel good about yourself knowing that you smell great all the time. That's why finding a signature scent is so important.

If you're on a journey on finding your signature scent, a scent that best represents who you are, the easiest suggestion we can give is to stick with the one you like, which sounds obvious enough, right?

Sound rather simple but, not quite. There are tons of different kinds of perfumes, and your body chemistry affects the way you wear a particular fragrance. In other words, a perfume may smell different on you than it may smell on someone else.

Before jumping into the exotic, dramatic scents, start by spraying on the lighter fragrances. Perfumes with floral or citrus notes are great for easing into stronger scents.

As you're experimenting with different kinds of perfumes, try to understand what you're wearing. You want to distinguish the different kinds of aromas, like spicy, musky, and floral. By knowing what you wear, you'll be able to list the aromas you like and the ones you don't.

Also, keep in mind how the scent evolves on your skin the moment you apply it. Usually, scents either escalate or weaken as the hours go by. They can also shift from one note to another, such as, from floral to sweet, within a few hours.

How to Make Your Perfumes Last Even Longer

We want our perfumes to last the entire day from the moment we spritz it all over our body. However, we know that can be difficult if we don't touch up throughout the day. Here are some fragrance hacks that you can do to make your perfume last longer and help wear your fragrance the right way.

Right After Showering

The second you walk out of your shower is the perfect moment you should apply your perfume. While your skin is still wet, apply perfume so that your skin can absorb it fully. Once your finished, dry off.

After Applying Lotion

Before spraying your perfume, apply lotion your skin. This causes the fragrance to stick on your skin for much longer and help lock the scent in. It's also best if you moisturize with an unscented lotion.

If you apply a scented lotion, the smell might not mix in well with the perfume. Either go for unscented lotion or find something a lotion that's aroma balances well with your fragrance.

Vaseline

You already know that the best places to apply perfume is on your pulse points. But, applying some vaseline onto the pulse points before spritzing your perfume will help hold in the fragrance much longer. Apart from your wrists, pulse points are also found behind your knees, elbow and even your ankles!

Spray Some on Your Hairbrush

Your hair is a great place to lock in scent. However, Products that contain alcohol can damage your hair. So, instead of spraying your fragrance directly on your head, just spray some on your brush.

Spritz on Your Clothes

No, don't spray perfume all over your closet. Grab a few tissues and spritz a couple of times your perfume on them to lock the scent. Place these tissues in your drawers and in your closet so that your clothes can adopt the scent of your perfume.

Rubbing Your Wrists Together is a No

People have the tendency to rub their wrists together after applying perfume thinking this locks in the fragrance. It does the complete opposite. By rubbing your wrists together, you're actually wearing off the scent a lot more and making it fade.
