The best way to enjoy your favorite scent is to make it last longer on your skin. This is also a good method to save your money since you’ll buy new bottle of perfumes less frequently. Not all perfumes last the same period of time: some of them vanish and evaporate rapidly while others stay on your skin for longer. There is a name for designation of scent duration on the body- fragrance span.
One of the most important reasons why perfumes vanish in some period of time is your skin properties. The very same amount of fragrance applied on the skin of two different women may have different fragrance span. Even if they wear it in the same environmental conditions it won’t smell the same and last in the equal period of time. This all happens because of different skin chemistry of individuals: the scent vanishes faster on dry skin than on oily skin. If you have dry skin you can improve the situation by moisturizing the skin.
 It’s proved fact that scent lives longer on moisturized and hydrated skin. You don’t have to worry about it if your skin is oily (the majority of brunets have oily skin). But if your skin is dry, try to use odorless cream or lotion before applying perfume. The other way to fight the dryness of skin is to use moisturizer with your favorite fragrance.
If you have oily skin type you don’t have to use additional moistening cream. The best time to apply your favorite fragrance is right after you have the bath or shower.
The concentration of perfume you use is also important. Perfume lives longer than cologne since they are more concentrated. If you are not satisfied with the fragrance span of your perfume you should change eau-de-toilette (cologne) for eau-de-parfum. It’s is more expensive as usual but you’ll still save money at the expense of long fragrance span.
Don’t rub your wrists together after applying perfumes to your body. This can break the sequence of stages and the smell will differ from original one.
Keep the bottle with perfumes in the original box far from open air and the light of direct sun rays. Find cool and dry place for it.
Another skilful method to make your scent more saturated is stratification of it. You can implement this idea in the next way: use body wash or soap first, then apply moisturizer with the same smell, scented cream or lotion will be appropriate after it. Apply eau-de-parfum to the pulsing points on your body in the end of this procedure.
Use products of the same producer when you implement stratification. Some skilful and experienced perfume lovers use a combination of scents for creating their own unique scents. If your are not very versed in types and families of perfumes you shouldn’t try to do this refinement.
Also it is important to know that some perfumes have great fragrance span by itself. It should be mentioned, that spicy, chypre and musk scents live longer than fresh ocean or floral fragrances. All mild perfume families have not very long fragrance spans.
