5 mistakes to avoid if you want your perfume to last all day ❌

You've found a fragrance that resonates with you... but by midday, poof , it's gone. The scent seems to have evaporated, as if it was never there.

If you've ever wondered, "Why doesn't my perfume last?" Don't worry: it's not inevitable. In 90% of cases, it's not the perfume that's the problem... but rather the way you apply it.

Here are the 5 most common mistakes , and above all: how to avoid them to enjoy your perfume all day long.

💧 1. You perfume dry skin

Dry skin absorbs the molecules… and makes them disappear faster. Conversely, well-hydrated skin retains the fragrance better and makes it last longer.

✅ The right reflex: apply a moisturizer (neutral or lightly scented with the same olfactory profile as your perfume) or a few drops of oil before applying perfume.

✋ 2. You rub your perfume spraying it

It's a very common reflex: you spray... then you rub your wrists together.
Big mistake! This action breaks down the olfactory molecules and alters the natural evolution of the fragrance on your skin.

✅ Our expert tip : Spray your perfume on your pulse points (neck, behind the ears, inside the elbows, wrists) and let it dry naturally. The perfume needs time to reveal its heart and base notes.

👕 3. You only perfume your clothes

Perfuming your clothes can be a good idea, but it never replaces skin contact.
It is the warmth of your body that brings your perfume to life, revealing all its facets throughout the day.

✅ Our expert advice : focus on the warm areas of the body: pulse points. And why not... a little cloud in your hair?

🌡️ 4. You don’t choose a perfume that suits your environment (or your skin)

Some skins retain certain materials better (oily skins, for example, make perfumes last longer).
Likewise, light fragrances last less time in a hot or humid environment.

✅ The right reflex: test several perfumes on your skin and in your real context (climate, pace of life, etc.).
👉 And that's where our samples come into their own: test before you adopt , in real everyday conditions for less than €2.

🍃 5. You expect a discreet perfume to have the same staying power as an intense perfume

Not all fragrances are created equal: a soft musk won't have the same persistence as a powerful oud but that doesn't mean it's “less good.”
It's just another style, another intention.

✅ The right reflex: choose your perfume according to what you are looking for: a delicate presence or a strong trail? And if you want more intensity, you can also do the layering .

🎯 The final word: perfume is something you experience, it is not something you apply quickly.

When applied properly, it becomes your signature, the one that follows you everywhere and leaves a lasting impression. It's a gesture of elegance, about self-care , a small ritual that deserves to be carried out with care.
