Tips to make perfume last longer (Longevity Hacks)
Use of moisturizer: Before applying perfume, apply unscented lotion or vaseline on the skin. The fragrance lasts longer on moist skin.
Pulse Points: Instead of rubbing the perfume, spray it on your wrists, the back of the neck and the insides of the elbows.
Spray on clothes: Due to sweating in summer, the fragrance can quickly evaporate from the skin, so definitely apply a spray on your clothes also.
