When it comes to fragrance, one of the hottest topics in the community is longevity. Who doesn’t want their favorite scent to last from morning to night? While some fragrances naturally linger longer than others, there are a few tried-and-true tips to help your scent stay fresh throughout the day.
At 1701 Fragrances, we believe that every spritz should bring joy and evoke cherished memories. That’s why we’re diving into this topic to help you make the most of your fragrance experience.
1. Choose the Right Fragrance Concentration
Understanding the concentration of your fragrance is key to longevity. Eau de Parfum (EDP) typically lasts longer than Eau de Toilette or body sprays because it contains a higher concentration of perfume oils.
Pro Tip: Start by sampling an EDP, like our 1701 Fragrance Eau De Parfum sample, to see how it complements your skin chemistry and lasts throughout your day.
2. Apply to Pulse Points
Pulse points are areas where your skin is naturally warmer, which helps diffuse the fragrance. Common spots include:
- Wrists
- Behind the ears
- Base of the throat
- Inside elbows
Pro Tip: Avoid rubbing your wrists together after applying. This can break down the fragrance oils and reduce its longevity.
3. Layer with Matching Products
Fragrance layering is a game-changer. If your scent has complementary products like lotions or shower gels, use them to build a long-lasting scent base.
If layering isn’t an option, use an unscented moisturizer to hydrate your skin before applying your fragrance. Fragrance clings better to well-moisturized skin!
4. Store Your Fragrance Properly
Did you know that heat, light, and humidity can break down your fragrance? Keep your sample or full-sized bottle in a cool, dark place—like a dresser drawer or cabinet away from windows—to maintain its potency.
5. Refresh Strategically
Sometimes, even the best perfumes need a midday boost. Instead of spraying directly onto your skin, consider spritzing a small amount onto your hairbrush or scarf for a subtle, refreshed scent.
6. Know Your Notes
Some fragrance notes naturally last longer than others like in our 1701 Eau De Parfum sample. For example:
- Base notes like cashmere vanilla, amber, and patchouli have the most staying power.
- Middle notes like Sweet floral found in our Eau De Parfum settle on to the skin and stick around long
- Top notes like zesty raspberry and nectarine last a bit longer as well
When selecting a fragrance, look for our Eau De Parfum, crafted carefully with notes with the most staying power.
