Best Techniques to Enhance Fragrance Longevity

There is hardly anything that impresses as much as a signature fragrance. The right fragrance will stay with that person and almost become a characteristic because of the memories and emotions related to it by the people they would have interacted with. At Adeaur, we understand the importance and power of custom fragrance; one wants it to make its home on their skin. We asked the experts to share the top secrets on making your signature scents last so you're sure to always leave elegance in your wake.

But before getting into the details of how to do that, let's focus on what determines longevity. The factors that determine the longevity of a fragrance are: its concentration, the ingredients used in making it, and the skin type.

The most essential makeup of a scent is classified as top, middle, and base notes, which evaporate at different rates. The slowest-evaporating and deepest of ingredients are the base notes; without these, the perfume would never last. These include woods and musk.

1. Choose the right concentration

Fragrances have different concentrations, and the type you choose will dictate how long you can expect your fragrance to last. Some of the most common types include:

- Parfum (Perfume): The strongest, with a potency of over 24 hours, and 20-30% of fragrance oil.

– Eau de Parfum (EDP): This category of perfume has a 15-20% aromatic oils base and has its scent lasting from three to eight hours, detectable on the skin.

- Eau de Toilette (EDT): This is Eau de Parfum's dilute version. It contains 5-15% fragrance oil and usually lasts for about 4-6 hours.

Eau de Cologne: The lightest of the three, containing just 2-4% concentration of fragrance oil, and lasts approximately 2 hours.

Perfume or Eau de Parfum will suit you for a long-lasting fragrance.

2. Apply on Pulse Points

How you apply your perfume can make it last much longer. The pulse points are indeed constantly the target place for the application of perfume. Pulse points are, therefore, areas that mainly emanate heat due to the closeness of blood vessels to the skin surface. They are diffusion points for your fragrance. Some of the standard major pulse points that you might consider include:

- Wrist

- Inferior part of the neck

- Antecubital area of the elbows

- Behind the knees

Applying the perfume to these parts makes it develop and release with time, carrying a person all day.

3. Layer Your Fragrance

Fragrance layering remains a compelling method that increases scent longevity. The practice would start with the body wash or the shower gel, followed by that scented lotion or body cream. These lay the very foundation that would lock in the fragrance, hence making it last even more. We create harmonic and long-lasting scent experiences for pairing with our perfumes by clutching complementary products.

4. Moisturize your skin

Hydrated skin also keeps the scent better than when your skin is dry. An unscented lotion on all of your body extremities before putting your fragrance on, will create a better surface for the fragrance to bind with. You can go as far as you want in all the other places, some having the same fragrance. Body creams from Adeaur are designed to optimize the life of custom fragrances and build.

5. Store Your Perfume Correctly

The way you store, it might also prolong the life of the fragrance. Over time, light, heat, and humidity are known to harm a fragrance. To preserve your fragrance for as long as possible, consider:

Store in a cool, dry place and away from direct sunlight.

- Put it in the original case or another dark place.

Don't place it in the bathroom, where the temperature and humidity fluctuate constantly. Adequate storage will make your fragrance in a stable state and close to the original formulation.

6. Stop Rubbing your Wrists against each other :

We usually tend to rub our wrists together as soon as we apply the perfumes. This creates friction, thus heat, and might cause the molecules of fragrance to break down; this makes the high notes fly off very fast and therefore not allowing good sillage to be experienced. Gently press your wrists against each other, and then will enable the perfume to dry itself.

7. Apply a good fragrance base:

A fixative or primer of the fragrance bases the perfume, allowing it to last much longer by adhering to it. They are supposed to "trap" the fragrance, which makes the time spent on the skin more enhanced. Adeaur fixatives are designed to work with our tailor-made scents for a longer life on the skin without changing it in character.

8. Spritz on Your Hair and Clothes :

Indeed, a fragrance can be more detected on your hair and clothes than on your skin. Whenever you want this scent to last longer, spray a cloud of mist on the hair or the lining of your clothes. Just mind delicates; sometimes fragrance might leave stains on materials. A unique formulated hair mist may be used to avoid dehydration of the strands.

9. Reapply Throughout the Day

Those who cherish the smell of their fragrance from the morning to late at night should freshen up their aroma whenever possible. Having a travel-sized bottle of your favorite scent or a rollerball in a purse will help you get your fix whenever needed. One can make the smell rejuvenate itself by emphasizing the pulse points while reapplying, thus resulting in you remaining not only lovely but also fragrant all day long.

10. Mind your food and manners :

The life of your fragrance entirely depends on your diet and lifestyle. Fatty and spicy foods make your skin oilier, keeping the scent within you a bit longer. What such a balanced diet should do is reinforce how the skin behaves toward the perfume.
