How to Make Perfume Last Longer

Wear your fragrance the right way.

Apply to pulse points: Neck, wrists and behind the ears are common areas.
Moisturise first: Fragrance can last longer on hydrated skin.
Do not rub wrists together: This can affect how the scent develops.
Store properly: Keep perfumes away from heat, sunlight and humidity.
Use the right amount: A few sprays are usually enough.
