Here are a few secrets to always smelling fragrant even when you're having a crazy day.
How to choose a perfume
1. Choose your scent
Now you can choose from a huge variety of perfumes and eau de toilette. But not all scents are the same.
For example, citrus perfumes dissipate quite quickly, and spicy and woody notes, such as sandalwood, last longer. If fragrance persistence is important to you, choose a specific group of perfumes.
Also, pay attention to whether you're buying perfume or eau de toilette. Perfumes are much more concentrated and more persistent, while eau de toilette is used more for refreshment.
2. Apply fragrances in layers
The secret of a long-lasting aroma is to apply it in layers. If you've picked your favorite perfume, try using a shower gel or body lotion with similar ingredients as well.
Thus, you will create a good base for your perfumes that will last all day and blend harmoniously with other products you use.
Some perfume manufacturers also sell a whole series of single-scented products, but you can choose your individual care set based on key ingredients.
3. Use oil under perfume
Perfume oil is one of the little-known tricks that many women do not know about. Perfumes usually evaporate on dry skin, as they have nothing to grab hold of.
If you apply a little oil, it will prolong the effect of your perfume for a long time. Use any base oil like coconut oil or even vitamin E and apply it to areas where you'll be using perfume.
How to apply perfume correctly
4. Know the places to put perfume
Many people are used to applying perfume to their wrists, but you need to know that perfume should be left on warmer and more hidden areas of your body. Start applying perfume from the bottom up under the knee, on the abdomen, on the chest, behind the earlobes.
Body heat in these areas helps to fully develop the aroma, starting from top to middle and base notes.
You can also apply perfume to the back of your neck, armpits, and ankles. If that's too much, apply your perfume half an hour before leaving home to let it soak in a little bit. If you are spraying the fragrance, apply it at a sufficient distance.
5. Don't rub perfume
Although we often have an instinctive urge to rub our wrists after applying perfume, we should not do this. Friction destroys the upper notes, leaving only the middle and base notes, which reduces the duration of wearing it.
6. When to apply perfume
It's best to apply perfume right after you've taken a shower while your skin is moist. Additional moisture seals the odor. In addition, it will help you avoid stains on your favorite silk blouse or your jewelry from tarnishing.

Moisturize your skin before applying perfume. Dry skin tends to absorb some of the fragrance, which causes it to evaporate more quickly. Hydrated skin gives the perfume something to catch on, and it lasts longer.
7. Apply perfume not only to yourself
Experts recommend applying perfume not only to the body, but also sprinkling it on your home, bed, outerwear and hair.
Also, don't forget to change bed linen more often, brush your teeth, use scented candles at home and in the bathroom. Believe it or not, all these smells influence how you smell throughout the day.
Store perfumes properly. Exposure to heat and humidity breaks down the fragrance molecules in your perfume. Therefore, you should not store your perfume in the bathroom, but it is best to keep it in a dry, cool place, such as a locker or on a vanity.
Hint: Reapply your perfume throughout the day. Because your skin is a living breathing organ, it can't hold on to scent indefinitely. If your routine is suddenly broken and you have to go from work to dinner at a restaurant, keep a small bottle or sample of your favorite perfume in your purse so you can at any time refresh yourself.
