Perfume, Cologne And Your Skin
Typically, a fragrance will last six to eight hours. However, that can differ from person to person based on the condition of his/her skin:
- Fragrances tend to last longer on oily skin because oily skin has more natural moisture to hold in the scent, as small amounts are released throughout the day.
- Blondes or people with light skin have a tendency towards dry skin, and fragrances are basically oils that will be absorbed by the skin like moisturizers.
- For very dry skin, you may want to use a fragrance-free moisturizer prior to applying perfume or cologne to extend the life of the fragrance.
- PH levels, or amount of acidity in our skin, also vary from person to person. Individual PH levels will determine how each ingredient in a fragrance will react with your body chemistry. That’s why it is so important to find your signature scent.

Perfume Application Tips
Napoleon Bonaparte reportedly used eight quarts of violet cologne each month! While you may not use quite that much designer fragrance it is important to apply your perfume at the right places so that it will last throughout the day. Here are some tips that will make your perfume and cologne last all day:
- Fragrances react with heat, so apply your cologne to pulse points such as the folds in the crook of your elbow and back of knees, wrist, base of the throat, back of the neck and cleavage.
- As you wear your perfume throughout the day, it will continue to emit your signature scent because the blood vessels closest to the skin give off heat and act like mini scent diffusers.
- Do not rub your wrist together, as this will crush the scent.
- Make sure to apply perfume not just to your neck; apply your fragrance from bottom to top, spraying at the ankles (yes, the ankles!) to allow the scent to rise and conquer, as your perfume scent will last longer.
Apply with care and wear with pride.
