If your favorite perfume fades within a few hours of spraying it on in the morning, it is most likely very annoying. This applies to any perfume you wear, such as the Bvlgari Tygar Perfume, the Imagination Perfume or the Widian London fragrance twin. Everyone wants the fragrances they use to last throughout the day.

Here at ODOR Perfumes, we believe that customers should not tolerate luxury fragrances that are spoiled by a lack of longevity, which is why our perfumes are made with a perfume oil content of up to 45%. However, these perfumes also need to be stored well and applied correctly to ensure they last. This blog explains effective ways to ensure your fragrant scent stays strong and fresh throughout the day.

1. choose a high quality perfume

Depending on the concentration of the perfume oil, a fragrance can last longer or shorter than usual. For example, Extrait de Parfum has the highest concentration, which means it lasts much longer than Eau de Toilette and Eau de Cologne.

Let's say you love the Bvlgari Tygar perfume. In that case, you'll be pleased to know that ODOR Parfums sells an alternative that mimics the perfume but has a higher oil concentration that allows it to last longer.

2. apply perfume to the pulse points

The raised pulse points of your body generate heat, which helps to release and enhance the fragrance. The ideal places to spray perfume are:

Wrists - Although this is still a pretty popular spot, don't rub them together!
Neck - Adds height to the projection and makes it recognizable.
Behind the ears - Preserves scent to freshen up the perfume of people around you.
Inside of the elbows - Helps a lot to keep the scent throughout the day.
Back of the knees - Best for hotter days when the heat rises.

Pro Tip:

Combining fragrances from the twin list can extend the longevity of the scent.

3. moisturize your skin before applying perfume

Hydrated skin retains fragrances longer. On the other hand, dry skin absorbs and evaporates perfume more quickly. To make the fragrance last longer, apply an unscented lotion or Vaseline first instead of spraying perfume.

Best methods for moisturizing:

Apply fragrance-free moisturizers.
Spray directly after showering when the skin is still damp.
Alkaline-based perfumes have a shorter lifespan than oil-based ones, so try the oil variety; it lasts longer.

An excellent choice for longevity is Widian London Scent Twin, which has a high oil concentration.

4. take the right precautions with your perfume

Certain environmental factors such as heat, air and sunlight can cause perfumes to evaporate faster than they should. Proper storage will help extend the life of your perfume.

Suggestions for storing perfume:

Always avoid direct sunlight.
Keep it in a dark and cool place, for example in a cupboard or drawer.
Avoid bathroom cabinets as they are often damp.
Always make sure the lid is tightly closed when the bottle is not in use.

With proper care, your perfume, including ODOR perfumes, will last longer.

5. use perfume on fabrics or hair

Unlike skin, perfumes last longer on fabrics and hair; however, you must be careful not to ruin delicate clothing.

Ways to apply perfume to hair or clothing:

Spray a light mist on your clothes.
Apply it discreetly to jacket linings.
Comb it with a sprayed hairbrush to retain some fragrance.
Do not spray directly onto light-colored silk or fabrics.

For perfumes that last a long time and still retain an invigorating scent, try Imagination Perfume.

6. apply several perfumes in layers

Combining matching body care products such as lotion and shower gel or using scented oils enhances the fragrance of the perfume used. This method is called scent layering and deepens or enriches your overall fragrance profile.

Tips for layering fragrances of different perfumes:

Start with the scented shower gel.
Then apply the matching lotion or oil to the body.
And finally, apply an extrait de parfum by spray.

For a luxurious combination, a Bvlgari Tygar Perfume alternative can be used together with a complementary lotion from the list of twin fragrances.
