Does perfume fade quickly? The reason is not as you think!

Perfume is not just a fragrance, it is a part of a woman's image that touches the conscience, is romantic and passionate. This invisible but tangible power can evoke a person's mood, imprint memories and even make an impression. Unfortunately, some women are unhappy with the fact that their chosen perfume disappears in just a few minutes. Many attribute this to the poor quality of the perfume or the wrong choice. In fact, the factors that affect the longevity of the perfume are much more numerous and complex.

Below we will consider the four most common mistakes that prevent the perfume from lasting long:

1. Dry skin is the enemy of the perfume's longevity
If your skin is dry, no matter how expensive the perfume is, the scent will not last long. The reason is that dry skin absorbs the perfume quickly instead of settling it on the surface. For the fragrance to spread, a "moist base" is needed. The simplest solution to this problem is to apply a light, neutral cream to your skin before spraying. This will allow the perfume to stay on your skin and its notes will gradually unfold.

2. Spraying perfume into the air is an ineffective method
Spraying perfume into the air and walking around under its droplets may be visually appealing, but it is useless for the actual scent. The perfume only really works when it comes into direct contact with the skin. The collarbone, the inside of the elbow, the upper chest and even the area around the knees are ideal places for the fragrance to spread. Natural fabrics also retain their fragrance for a long time - the inside of a coat, a scarf or a handkerchief are a great option.

3. Distinguish between perfume and toilet water
Many people think that perfume and toilet water are the same. In fact, there is a big difference in their composition. Eau de toilette contains 5–15% fragrance and is intended for a short duration. If you want a long-lasting scent, choose bottles labeled EDP (eau de parfum) or extrait de parfum. Such perfumes are rich in notes and last longer on the skin.

4. Weather and body temperature - control the smell
During hot weather or physical activity, the body temperature rises. This causes perfume molecules to evaporate faster. As a result, even the most perfect perfume disappears in a short time. In winter, the same perfume has a stronger and heavier aroma, while in summer it turns into lighter and more volatile notes. Therefore, it is very important to choose a perfume that suits the season.

Conclusion: When choosing a perfume, you should pay attention not only to the brand, but also to the condition of your skin, weather conditions and the method of application. This way, you will get the maximum effect and pleasure from the perfume.
