Ever Wondered What Makes a Perfume Last?

Have you ever wondered why some of the perfumes are all over you for hours, while others vanish after just a little time? The length of time the perfume will last depends on its ingredients, how you coat your skin before applying, the length of time the perfume bottle was opened, and most importantly, how they are stored. Let us take a minute to see what you can do to keep your favorite fragrances lasting longer.
The Importance of Storage
First, proper storage is an important factor in keeping the integrity of your perfumes. Ideally, perfume should be stored in a dark environment where the humidity is low. Light and moisture can eventually break down the fragrance, thus weakening odor strength over time. Ideally, perfumes should be kept in their original boxes or in places away from the sunlight.

Apply Fragrance Right
In addition, think about the time of day when you are going to apply the perfume. For example, one may wear fresh scents during the sunny summer months and warmer, heavier scents in the autumn months. This very thoughtful manner of subtly coordinating the fragrance with the season helps greatly in a positive way for long-lasting perfumes.
