The perfume mistake everyone is making
Do you find despite spritzing perfume in the morning that by lunchtime there’s not a whiff of scent life on your body? It might be because you’ve been applying your perfume incorrectly.
According to a fragrance expert from British perfume house, Penhaligon's, the biggest mistake most women make when applying perfume is to spray it on their wrists and rub them together.
"Rubbing the fragrance starts the evaporation process, so the fragrance won't last as long if you do this," he said. "Instead spray twice onto the wrists, the chest and the back of the neck and leave to dry."
Moisturising your skin before an application of perfume will also make it last for longer.
"Dry skin absorbs the moisture in perfume, which evaporates the perfume off the skin," says Penhaligon's fragrance expert.
