7 Easy Hacks to Make Your Perfume Last All Day
There’s nothing worse than applying your favorite scent in the morning—only to find it gone by lunchtime. The good news? With a few smart tricks, your perfume last all day.
Here are 7 essential tips to make your perfume last all day:
1. Moisturize Before You Spray
Why it works: Dry skin absorbs fragrance quickly, making it fade faster. Applying an unscented lotion or body oil first helps your perfume cling to the skin and last longer.
2. Apply to Pulse Points
Pulse points give off body heat, which helps diffuse the scent throughout the day. These include:
3. Choose the Right Perfume Type
- High-Concentration Perfume: 45% oil – 100% organic, available only at hkPerfumes for unmatched longevity
- Extrait de Parfum: 30–35% oil – ultra-concentrated, lasts 10–12+ hours
- Eau de Parfum (EDP): 15–20% oil – lasts 6–8+ hours
-
Eau de Toilette (EDT): 5–15% oil – lasts 3–5 hours
4. Layer Your Fragrance
Using a matching body wash, lotion, and perfume helps build a stronger, longer-lasting scent.
5. Store Your Perfume Properly
Heat, light, and humidity can break down fragrance molecules.
-
Store in a cool, dark place (like a drawer or closet)
-
Avoid the bathroom
-
Keep the cap on and use the original box for extra protection
6. Apply to Hair & Clothes (With Care)
Hair and fabrics hold scent well, but be cautious.
-
Hair: Spray your brush, then run it through your hair
-
Clothes: Lightly mist inside jackets, collars, or scarves
7. Reapply When Needed (Smartly!)
Even the strongest scent may fade in heat or after physical activity. Keep a travel-size spray or rollerball with you for touch-ups.
