How to Make Your Fragrance Last All Day
Share
Ever notice a fragrance smells strong for the first hour and then seems to disappear? That's normal — but there's a lot you can do to make any scent, including your Carrera favorites, last through the whole day.
Moisturized Skin Holds Scent Longer
Fragrance clings to oil, not dry skin. A quick unscented lotion before spraying gives the scent something to hold onto, which noticeably extends wear time.
Target Pulse Points, Not Clothes
Wrists, neck, and the inside of elbows generate warmth throughout the day, which helps a fragrance like Metal Edition continue releasing its notes for hours.
Don't Rub It In
Rubbing your wrists together after spraying breaks down the top notes faster. Let it dry naturally instead.
Layer With Matching Body Care
Pairing a fragrance with a matching or complementary body lotion builds a scent base under the perfume itself, which is why fragrance houses release body care alongside their perfumes in the first place.
Store It Properly
Heat, light, and humidity all break fragrance down over time. Keep your bottles away from direct sunlight and bathroom humidity to preserve the scent as long as possible.
