What should I do if the perfume disappears after two hours?

Before going out in the morning, I carefully sprayed perfume on my wrist and back of my neck, hoping that the fragrance would accompany me all day long. As a result, when I lowered my head to smell it during lunch, the scent on my wrist was only a faint shadow, and I couldn't even smell it myself. Many people think that perfume with short fragrance must be bad. In fact, how long perfume can stay depends not only on the concentration, but also on the way it is sprayed. Choosing the right method can make the fragrance stay longer without changing perfume.

One easily overlooked method is to moisturize the skin first. Perfume is easier to attach to wet skin, dry skin is like a sieve with air leakage, and fragrance molecules will soon dissipate; Moisturizing skin is like a sponge, which can absorb fragrance and delay evaporation. Before spraying perfume, you can apply a layer of fragrance free body milk on the wrist, behind the ear, collarbone and other frequently sprayed parts, and give priority to cream products with moist texture, which are more fragrant than lotion. Wait for the body milk to absorb for a few minutes, and then spray perfume when it is not sticky but still moist. The oil and moisture in body lotion form a protective film on the surface of the skin, slowing down the evaporation of aroma molecules. For dry skin, the fragrance retention time may be extended from two hours to about four hours.

Another way is to use perfume on the skin and clothes to form a double lock fragrance. Spray only on the skin, the fragrance will quickly dissipate with body temperature; Only spraying clothes will reduce the gentle touch on the skin. You can spray it on the wrists and behind the ears that have been coated with body lotion first, but the amount does not need to be too large to avoid excessive concentration. When putting on clothes, spray lightly on the inside of the collar, cuffs, and hem of the clothes. Do not spray directly on the surface of the clothes to avoid leaving watermarks, especially on light colored clothes. The temperature of the skin will slowly bring out the middle and base note tones of perfume, and the clothes will absorb fragrance molecules to form a more lasting aftertaste. Even if the fragrance on the skin fades, the clothes still emit a faint fragrance when walking, and the fragrance retention time is usually extended by more than 30% compared to just spraying on the skin.

However, we should also accept the differences of different perfume types themselves. Many people complain that the fragrance is short. In fact, they choose a type of perfume that is not suitable for their expectations. The concentration of eau de toilette EDT is usually between 5% and 10%, and the basic fragrance lasts about three to four hours, which is suitable for daily commuting. Even if these techniques are used, it is difficult to exceed six hours. The concentration of EDP in concentrated perfume is usually between 10% and 20%, and the basic fragrance lasts for about six to eight hours. With the correct spray method, it may even last for more than ten hours, which is more suitable for dating or important occasions when long-term fragrance is needed. Only by understanding this, can we have reasonable expectations for the performance of perfume, and it is easier to find a suitable way to use perfume.
