Image Source: Canva
There are countless occasions where reapplication of perfumes or deodorants is not possible. And you will have to rely on the spray that you used at the start of the day. That is when you think of tips to make your perfume last longer. After all, you cannot afford to take the risk of smelling bad when you are out with your friends or in an office gathering. It is very important to understand how perfumes and deodorants work. This will help you ensure that your fragrance stays with you for a long time without excessive efforts.
We have listed a few practical tips that you must know to smell good all day in India, irrespective of the weather. Have a look at these tips and take your fragrance game to the next level.
Pulse points
- Applying your perfume to your pressure points usually does the trick for long-lasting fragrance. These are the points that naturally radiate the body heat as the blood flow is very close to the surface of the skin. Ensuring that you spray your perfume or deodorant on your wrist, behind your ears, inner elbow or on your neck enhances the longevity of your fragrance and ensures that you smell good all day.
Moisturise your skin
- If your skin is naturally too dry, moisturising before using a fragrance can increase the longevity of your perfume. This can be a great scent hack for summer as moisturised skin holds fragrances for a longer time than dry skin. Besides regular cream or body lotion, you can even use any gel-based moisturisers for a refreshing fragrance all day long.
Apply it immediately after a shower
- Just like your skincare products must be applied right after the shower for best results, you should also make it a routine to use your perfume or deodorant right after the shower and not just before stepping out. Your skin is delicate at that time, and the pores are open. This opens up your skin for maximum absorption of fragrance, and it stays with you for a long time.

Do not rub
- Let the perfume or deodorant naturally absorb into your skin and offer you freshness all day. Doing it forcefully might feel good for a short period of time, but it does not make your perfume last longer. So, if you need freshness all day, ensure that you do not rub the fragrance even on the pulse points.
Store your perfume properly
- The storage of the perfume plays a major role in affecting the fragrance. Avoid storing your perfumes and deodorants in direct sunlight, and ensure that they are always in the original packaging. High temperatures or sudden temperature changes may disturb the chemical composition of your perfume, thereby adversely affecting its longevity. So, make sure that you pay equal attention to how you store your fragrance bottle.
Go for a higher concentration
- When you are too serious about making your perfume last longer, you should also pay attention to the chemical composition of your perfume. Study the packaging, pick the perfume with a higher concentration of the fragrance and not a dilute one that just seems good momentarily. Extrait de Parfum has a higher concentration than Eau de Parfum or Eau de Toilette.

Check the base notes
- Perfumes with light or mild base notes do not tend to last long. While the ones with a powerful base note tend to set the tone and your mood for the day, with a lingering effect, a perfume with a mild base note might not be the best pick for Indian weather, where you sweat too much. The heart and top notes can be based on your preferences and the occasion, but the base note needs to be solid for a long-lasting effect.
Keep the season in mind
- The season, the weather for the day and the occasion; all must be considered while deciding on the perfume you are going to wear. While aquatic fragrances are okay in winter, they should be avoided during summer if reapplication is not possible and you are looking for long-lasting perfumes. When you know you are not going to reuse the perfume during the day, use a strong one right after having a bath in the morning.
Spray it on your hairbrush
- One of the most effective hacks to make your perfume last longer is to spray it on your hairbrush before using it. Your hair will hold the fragrance for a longer duration than your skin. And this is how you will be smelling fresh all day long with minimal effort.
Also check out:
Spray on your accessories
- Carry your handkerchief, purse, dupatta or some other accessory with a perfume sprayed on it. So even if you start losing the refreshing fragrance, your accessories around you will ensure that you have a refreshing aura all day.
Use products with matching fragrance
- This is another underrated hack that can make your fragrance last longer. With matching fragrances, we mean that you try and ensure that your moisturiser, body wash, body lotion or other skincare products are of a similar tone or fragrance. This helps in keeping your scent for long as the fragrances of different products complement each other rather than disturbing the tone with incorrect layering or mixing.
So, with these tips and making little changes to your usage, you can ensure that your perfume stays longer in the Indian scenario, and you feel confident all day long.
