Making Your Fragrance Last Longer

Our Solid Perfumes are perfect for those who want a portable scent wherever they go. Here are our best tips for helping maximise the staying power of your solid perfume so that your scent lingers throughout the day!

Hydrated Skin is Key:
Well-hydrated skin helps to lock in the fragrance molecules and prolong the scent's longevity. Before applying our solid perfume, moisturise your skin with an unscented lotion or body oil. The moisturiser creates a barrier that slows down the evaporation of the perfume, allowing it to stay on your skin for a longer duration.

Apply to Pulse Points:
Pulse points are areas of the body where the blood vessels are closest to the skin's surface, generating heat and intensifying the scent. Apply solid perfume to pulse points such as the wrists, neck, behind the ears, and the inner elbows. The warmth of these areas enhances the diffusion of the fragrance, making it last longer.

Layering Technique:
Layering different forms of fragrance products can significantly extend the longevity of your solid perfume. Start by applying a matching scented body lotion or oil to your skin. This creates a moisturised base that helps the solid perfume adhere better. After applying the solid perfume, you can seal it with a light mist of fragrance from a matching perfume spray. This layering technique builds a multi-dimensional scent experience that lasts longer.

Avoid Rubbing or Excessive Touching:
When applying solid perfume, refrain from rubbing your wrists together or excessive touching of the application area. Rubbing can generate friction and heat, accelerating the evaporation of the fragrance. Instead, gently dab or press the solid perfume onto your skin, allowing it to settle naturally.

Store Properly:
To maintain the quality and longevity of your solid perfume, ensure proper storage. Store it in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight, heat, and humidity. Exposure to these elements can alter the composition of the fragrance and reduce its longevity.

We hope you love your solid scents!
