HOW TO MAKE YOUR PERFUME LAST LONGER?
A perfume we love is one we’d like to enjoy from morning to night. Yet, its scent can sometimes fade more quickly than expected. Your skin type, hydration, application areas, perfume concentration… several factors can influence how long a fragrance lasts.
Discover our tips for prolonging your perfume’s scent and enjoying it for longer.
MOISTURIZE YOUR SKIN BEFORE APPLYING PERFUME
This is one of the first things you should do: apply perfume to well-moisturized skin.
Dry skin tends to retain fragrance molecules for less time. After showering, apply a neutral or lightly scented body lotion, then spray your perfume once your skin is dry. For an even more intense fragrance experience, choose a body lotion from the same range as your perfume.
Tip: apply a small amount of Vaseline to your pulse points before spraying your perfume to help extend its longevity.
SPRAY YOUR PERFUME ON YOUR PULSE POINTS
Strategic areas of the body, where the skin is naturally warmer due to blood circulation, help enhance the fragrance and allow it to develop more effectively.
Apply your perfume in particular:
• to the neck;
• inside the wrists;
• behind the ears;
• in the crook of the elbows.
These areas gradually release heat, helping the fragrance notes unfold throughout the day.
DO NOT RUB YOUR WRISTS AFTER APPLYING PERFUME
It’s a habit many people have: after spraying perfume on their wrists, they rub them together.
However, this can alter the fragrance’s natural development. Friction warms the skin and can cause the top notes to evaporate more quickly. These are the first notes you smell when applying perfume. To preserve the fragrance’s full character, simply let it dry naturally.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT PERFUME CONCENTRATION
How long a fragrance lasts also depends on its concentration and the composition of the perfume.
Eau de Toilette offers a lighter, more airy scent and may need to be reapplied during the day.
The notes of an Eau de Parfum are generally more intense. As a result, they offer greater longevity throughout the day and require fewer applications.
Generally speaking, a fragrance with a higher concentration will last longer than a lighter formula.
CREATE A PERFUME RITUAL TO EXTEND ITS LONGEVITY
To intensify the fragrance, perfume can become the final step in a true beauty ritual.
Start by applying a scented cream to your skin, then spray your fragrance on your pulse points. A few extra steps can help extend its longevity and enhance its trail.
With NINA EAU DE TOILETTE, for example, the Nina Body Lotion can be applied before the fragrance to prepare the skin and extend the scent.
For a richer and more indulgent experience with NINA EAU DE PARFUM, start by applying the Lait du Temps Eau de Parfum body lotion. Moisturize and scent your skin before applying the fragrance.
L’AIR DU TEMPS EAU DE PARFUM can also be applied as the final step in a fragrance ritual.
Finally, rather than applying multiple sprays throughout the day, a few targeted touch-ups on pulse points can help revive the scent without overloading it.
Pour intensifier l’expérience, le parfum peut devenir la dernière étape d’un véritable rituel.
Commencez par hydrater votre peau avec un lait pour le corps, puis appliquez votre fragrance sur les points de pulsation. Une retouche légère au cours de la journée peut ensuite raviver son sillage lorsque vous en ressentez l’envie.
Avec Nina Eau de Toilette, par exemple, la Lotion Onctueuse pour le Corps Nina peut être appliquée avant la fragrance afin de préparer la peau et de prolonger le plaisir parfumé.
Pour celles qui recherchent une sensation plus enveloppante, Nina Eau de Parfum dévoile progressivement ses facettes fruitées, florales et gourmandes, jusqu’à ses notes de fond de pistache et de vanille.
Et pour une signature florale épicée plus intemporelle, L’Air du Temps Eau de Parfum laisse s’épanouir en fond le bois de santal et l’iris, qui accompagnent durablement son sillage.
Ainsi, plutôt que de simplement multiplier les vaporisations, quelques gestes bien choisis permettent de profiter plus longtemps de toutes les facettes de son parfum.
