4 Tips for Making Your Favorite Scent Last All Day

You did it. You finally splurged on that one sent that makes you feel like the sexiest, most glamorous, most incredibly fabulous chick on the planet. Congratulations!

So now that you have found this perfect scent, the question is how to make it last so that you feel (and smell) as sassy in the afternoon as you did in the morning. Here, 4 tips to help you do just that:

1. Spray fragrance on your clothing - This works well on cotton or woven fabrics, but should be avoided when it comes to silks, chiffons or other light fabrics. Sweaters, jackets and button-ups can handle the mist, but the oils and alcohol in your favorite scent may spot or stain delicate fabrics. Use caution and common sense before spritzing.
2. Spray fragrance in your hair - Assuming your hair is not already laden with a multitude of scented styling products, give your tresses a light spritz of perfume, where your hair’s natural oils give your scent a place to root onto.
3. Spray fragrance on your pulse points - Your body’s natural pulse points – the wrists, neck, back of knees, ankles and crook of your elbow – are all warm spots and tend to maximize scent. Add a few drops to each pulse point or if you’re running low, just apply to one point below the waist and one above.
4. Layer your fragrance - For lasting scent, beginning with a body wash, adding a moisturizer, then ending with the perfume itself will provide layers of scent that will build on each other. If your favorite scent comes in a gift set, grab the whole shebang, which will often be a good value, particularly near the holidays.
