does this make it last longer or something? and how?

It lasts longer because you don't have sweat glands on your wrists.

The theory is that a pulse point, such as your wrist or inner elbow, is warmer (because the blood is closer to the surface of the skin) so the scent of the cologne is released more easily. That's the theory. The fact is there there is a microscropic difference in temperature between your pulse points and any other points on your body, and it isn't going to make that much difference where you put the cologne. Just try not to overdo it. Cologne is lovely if it gives a hint of scent, but it shouldn't overpower everyone in the room.

Yes they say that the smell will linger longer if sprayed on your pulse points

Honestly I've never noticed but maybe I'll start doing it. I suppose it circulates faster since your pulse represents blood passing and distributing to all parts of your body. Have you ever rubbed garlic on your feet at night? You can taste it in your mouth in the morning.

My mother told me that when your body temperture rises than the fragrance t intensifies. That is why you should spray it on all of your pulse points. Neck, wrist, back of the knee etc

Because the pulse is a heat point and the heat makes the scent radiate.

Your pulse points heat up the perfume and omit it as a gas. That is why you are supposed to spray it there.

Because they like a nice smelling pulse.

It gives it a stronger smell, becuase the heat from the blood coursing beneath release the various components.
Same for beneath the earlobes and the front of the neck (carotid arteries)

your pulse points are inside your wrists and behind your ears, your temples, cleavage and also behind the knees are common pulse points used
these areas are the warmest therefore it acts as a diffuser for the fragrance to be emitted

The rhythmic pulsations on pulse points will cause the fragrance to be disseminated, i.e., you'll be able to smell it from farther away.
