Perfumes play a significant role in elevating your personality. While a rose-scented fragrance can make you seem grounded and clean, a strong pepper and sandalwood perfume could give you the appearance of strength and wisdom. Fragrances also have the potential to attach us to some of our best core memories. The caveat? They often last till just as long as you’re out of the house.
We’re not ones to gate-keep. To make sure your perfume lasts till the last call at the pub or even up to that after-dinner stroll with a hot date, here are our top perfumes that last long without being overbearing or heady:

How to make your fragrances last longer
Want to ensure that your fragrance lasts till your next shower? A hot tip is wearing Vaseline on your spritz spot before spraying on the perfume. Shocker? Read ahead for a few more.
1. Apply perfume right after a shower:
The moisture on your skin will help lock in the scent and make it last longer.
2. Moisturise your skin before spritzing:
Applying a fragrance-free moisturiser to your skin before you spritz on your fragrance can help it last longer.
3. Apply perfume to pulse points:
Pulse points are areas on your body where your veins are closer to the skin, allowing the fragrance to mix with your natural oils and last longer. These areas include your wrists, neck, behind your ears, and the insides of your elbows and knees.
4. Don't rub your wrists together:
Rubbing your wrists together after applying perfume can break down the scent molecules and make the fragrance evaporate faster.
5. Layer your fragrance:
Use a fragrance-matching body wash, lotion or oil to create a layered effect and make the fragrance last longer.
6. Store it correctly:
Fragrances should be stored in a cool, dark place to avoid exposure to light, heat and air that can break down the scent molecules and make the fragrance evaporate, or go bad.
7. Consider the strength and quality:
Higher quality fragrances and eau de parfums have a higher concentration of essential oils, which means they last longer than eau de toilettes or colognes.
