Making Your Perfume Last Longer

For those of you that aren't aware, I did a guest post for Jenna at The Chic Cupcake. You should definitely check out her blog! It's quite a bit different from what I normally post. Let me know what you think.

Here's the post:

Making Your Perfume Last Longer.

There’s nothing worse than spritzing yourself with perfume in the morning only for it to be gone by noon. Here are some tips to keep your favourite scent on you without it being over-bearing.

1. Layer Your Fragrance! Is there a matching shower gel and body lotion for your favourite perfume? Use them. This way not only is your fragrance not being mixed with any other scent, it is giving it layers. Sometimes perfume doesn’t come with a matching set. No worries! Try and find products that have similar notes. For example, if you favourite fragrance is Jessica Simpson’s Fancy Love, try a vanilla body wash and moisturizer.
   
   
2. Find the Hot Spots! The scent of perfume on your skin is activated by warmth. Because of this you want to apply your fragrance where your veins are most visible. These places include your:
• Neck
• Bust
• Inner elbow
• Inner knee
• And wrists
  
  
3. Bring Back-Up! Make sure to carry an atomizer with you that is filled with your scent. Touch up through-out the day when you find the scent is fading.

Now you’re ready to strut your stuff and have a beautiful scent follow you. Be careful though! Don’t spray too much as it can be over-powering and end up being offensive to some people.

What perfume are you planning on wearing on Valentine’s Day?

I think I’m going to go with my favourite- Chanel Chance Eau Tendre.
