during the day your perfume starts to fad away?? like in the morning I will spritz myself and it seems like an hour later I can barely smell it, maybe its just because i've gotten used to the smell so I no longer smell it or maybe its just that it really fading away!! I've tried TONS of perfumes and body splashes and this seems to happen to them all! What do you guys think???

Sometimes too much perfume makes you stink.

I think exactly the same thing, although I have noticed that when I use True Star perfume I can actually smell that throughout the day. But you have to be careful not to keep spraying yourself with perfume because if you have got used to it, your colleagues/friends will start complaining they find it overpowering.

overpowering perfume is just as bad as disgusting BO so be careful not to go overboard with the scents you use.
you could try layering the perfume you use...i.e. use a matching shower gel, then apply a matching lotion, body spray, deodorant and then use perfume.
alternatively, you could also ask a close friend/co-worker during the day if they can smell any perfume on you because more often than not you have become used to the smell of your perfume and so cannot notice it on yourself anymore.

You lose sensitivity to the smell the longer you wear a perfume. Just because you can't smell it doesn't mean everyone else can't. There is nothing worse than too-strong perfume that has been over-applied. For the best, long lasting fragrance that doesn't overwhelm (and whose scent is evident to someone close to you) you should use a body lotion in your favorite scent. It is much longer lasting and much more subtle.

You get used to smelling it. Also, if you are using cologne or eau de toilette they have less oil than perfume, and do fade away more quickly. But, you should not be wearing so much fragrance that others can smell it before you get close to them. ♥

First I hope you are not spraying it on your skin, because thats why it doesnt last. If you want to last you have to: Put it behing you ears, your wrist and in the joint of the elbows, then put it in the clothes BUT make sure you put it in places not very vissible because depending on the perfume it might stain your clothes. However when you put the parfun on Fabric it will last all day. Aslso make sure you are not using cheap stuff.

God, no, don't spritz through out the day. Trust me, one spray is all that's needed. Just because you like a smell doesn't mean the rest of the world enjoys it.

Exactly what happens to me, but if I smell my shirt collars at the end of the day I can still smell it, but not in the middle of the day!
