in all of my perfume, the smell wears off in an hour or so. how do i get it to last?

Answer 1

You might just have to reapply it. Carry around a small vile of it.

It could be your body's pH lvl, It could happen if you sweat alot, Maybe because it's cheap perfume...I mean there are all different reasons...and there's really not a good solution other than applying it again.

If all else fails, spray it on your clothes instead of your skin...that's what I do (Just be sure it wont stain or fade your clothes). This way your clothes absorb the scent and it stays on longer.

Good Luck!

Answer 2

I have found that if I use the body wash that helps. Also, I do a routine where I dry off quickly when I get out of the shower and immediately spray the perfume on myself. When you take a hot shower it opens your pores, this allows the perfume to 'soak' in instead of just sitting on your skin. Then I use the matching lotion. one more spray......get dressed and spray 2x in the air and walk into it. This is how I get my perfume to last all day. Also, try perfumes with different notes than the one you have now. You may find something that your body 'likes' better. We all have our own natural scents so some perfumes smell better, or worse, on you than others. Our natural pheromones can help the scent stay or 'drown' it out.

Answer 3

Buy more expensive perfume. I used to have the same problem then my boyfriend bought me a really expensive bottle of perfume. I can smell it for hours after I put it on. I have also read that you should rub a little vaseline on the places you spray your perfume. Apparently it will hold the scent.

Answer 4

A perfume will last longer on some people than on others because of differences in skin (oily or dry) and PH levels. To achieve a longer effect, try layering your perfume. Using the bath gel, moisturizer, or powder before applying the actual fragrance will usually have a longer lasting effect. Try applying the perfume low on your body, allowing the scent to rise. Also apply it behind your ears and neck. And... a light spray on your hair can last all day.

Answer 5

It completely depends on the perfume, the less expensive ones do not last as long. Plus, you get used to the smell once you put it on, but others will probably be able to smell it.

Answer 6

Layer your fragrance, start by using a shower gel or soap in that fragrance ; do NOT use a deodorant soap. The deodorant doesn't distinguish between an unpleasant or a plea sent odor, it neutralizes all odor.
Then use a body lotion of body cream in the same scent, then apply the spray cologne, eau de toilette or perfume starting at your knees and spritz north and end at the back of the neck.
Don't drown in the spray, just a few spritzes.
That should do the trick.

Answer 7

I don't think the smell wears off i think your nose has become too accustomed to the perfumes so you can no longer smell them anymore, just be careful if you cant smell them you tend to spray more on which might be too strong for other people

Answer 8

Rub a little Petroleum Jelly on the spots your typically perfume before dabbing or spraying it on.

Of course, it's possible that everyone else can still smell your perfume, but your olfactory sensors have simply started ignoring it. Ask.

Answer 9

Are you sure the smell is gone? When you wear perfume or scent, your own nose will quickly adapt to the smell and begin to ignore it, leaving you with the impression that the scent is gone, when in fact everyone else can smell it fine.

Answer 10

Put a little bit of vitamin E oil on the spot of the perfume. The oil first then the perfume. Dont rub the perfume. If you put it on you pulse dont rub it wih the other pulse. It breaks the aroma 'bubbles'. Sorry don't know how to make it more simpler.
