TIP #1: SPRAY ON PULSE POINTS

Want to make perfume last longer? Apply it to your pulse points! Pulse points like wrists, inside the elbow, behind the knees, and necks are warmer spots on the body. When applied to these points where blood flows, they help naturally circulate the fragrance into the air to stay with you throughout the day and night.

TIP #2: DON’T SPRAY ON HANDS (& MORE)

Although pulse points are a welcoming place for perfume, hands are a different story. Perfume on hands can lead to dry skin, not to mention easy access to your eyes, which can lead to eye irritation. In addition to hands, refrain from spraying perfume on lips, armpits, eyes, or near private sensitive areas. Also, pause before spraying perfume in your hair, as many perfumes can dry and damage your locks. Use a hair mist instead that evokes or compliments your perfume instead.

TIP #3: REFRAIN FROM RUBBING

If you feel the urge to rub your wrists together after spritzing on your perfume, don’t! Rubbing your perfume into your skin leads to evaporation which can immediately fade and dull the scent. Rubbing perfume also creates friction, allowing it to overly mingle with your skin’s natural oils, creating a distorted scent. For a fragrance payoff in beautiful full bloom, always dab, never rub in your perfume.

TIP #4: SPRAY ON CLOTHES

Spraying perfume directly onto skin will always give you the highest quality scent; however, it’s perfectly acceptable to spray perfume on clothes, too. Fabric (any except silk) will absorb perfume beautifully, keeping a lighter but still long-lasting rendition of your perfume surrounding you all day. Pants, tops, coats, and more all deserve a little spray!

TIP #5: STORE PROPERLY

Store your perfume in a cool, dark, dry place for optimum quality and degradation prevention. Humidity, direct sunlight, and changing temperatures can alter the shelf life of your perfume, so keeping perfume in your bathroom is not recommended. Closets, drawers, and dressers are ideal storage spots to help keep your perfume in perfect condition. Remember, cool, dark, and dry keep perfume integrity high!

TIP #6: APPLY POST-SHOWER

After a shower is a perfect time to apply your perfume. Perfume absorption is ideal when skin is warm and clean pores are open. Try this for a long-lasting scent: Step out of the shower, gently towel dry your skin, and spray your perfume for the day.

TIP #7: MOISTURIZE SKIN

Keeping skin moisturized is always essential to any skin routine, but moisturized skin can also help keep your perfume lasting longer. Perfume can evaporate on dry skin, whereas when applied to moisturized skin, perfume can literally and figuratively stick with you throughout the day. Get moisturization and fragrance in one with a perfume body lotion like Angel Perfuming Body Lotion by Mugler.

TIP #8: WEAR PERFUMES WITH STRONG BASE NOTES

Reach for perfumes infused with booming base notes like vanilla for a captivating, luxurious scent that lasts all day and night. A fruit from a tropical plant from the orchid family, the vanilla bean is an excellent natural raw material that has the power to evoke exotic faraway lands drenched in sunlight. Cultivated in a village between sea, bushes, and mountains using ancestral expertise, the Bourbon Vanilla in Aura MUGLER is organic and Fairtrade certified. Most perfumes last up to 24 hours, so you shouldn’t need to reapply your scent to leave an unforgettable mark.
