Fragrances have top heart and base notes and how they interact with your skin changes the final scent so test before buying

Applying perfume on dry skin fades fast. Use an unscented moisturiser or oil-based lotion to help lock in the scent for hours

Dab perfume on pulse points like the wrists, neck, elbows or behind knees where body heat naturally activates and diffuse the fragrance

Rubbing wrists after spraying actually breaks the fragrance molecules which changes the scent and shortens its life on your skin

Use matching body wash or lotion from the same line to build the scent subtly without clashing or overwhelming your senses

Lightly misting hair or clothing helps fragrance last longer. Some perfumes may stain, so always check the label first

Apply perfume after a shower when your pores are open and your skin is clean for maximum absorption and fragrance payoff

Pick a scent that suits the season, time and your vibe: Fresh florals in summer, rich musks in winter. Always avoid clashing with others

Heat, sunlight and humidity break down fragrance molecules. Keep your bottles in a cool, dark place, away from direct light, or radiators

Too much perfume can trigger migraines or allergic reactions in others. So keep it light and reapply only if needed later in the day
