Master the Art of Making Your Perfume Last Longer

Sep 09 20240 comments

Tired of your favorite fragrance fading away quicker than your morning coffee? Whether you have a busy day at work or going out, there is nothing more frustrating than putting on fragrance and having it fade away as soon as you step out. But what if we told you there are easy tips and tricks to make perfume last longer? In this blog, we will discuss application hacks to storage solutions to fragrance layering to enhance your perfume’s staying power. Let’s get started!

A. The Power of Scent: More Than Just a Fragrance

It might be surprising that most of our emotions don't come from what we see or hear. Did you know the scent evokes more memories and emotions than any other cue? The limbic system is responsible for processing emotions and memory, and the sense of smell is connected to our brain. This explains why, when we smell something, we always travel back to the memories attached to that smell. 

B. Tips to Increase Your Perfume Longevity 

 

1. Use A Petroleum Jelly 

There's no shortage of old-school beauty tips, one of which is applying petroleum jelly for longer scent retention. You apply it to your pulse points, then spray your favorite fragrance. If you don't have petroleum jelly, you can simply use any unscented balm or lotion to layer your fragrance so it can last long.


2. Choose The Right Concentration 

Perfumes are formulated in various concentrations. Some fragrances do not last as long as others. In general, the more concentrated perfume will last longer. Let's see now exactly how much concentration various types of perfumes have:

  • Solid perfume: 20% to 30%
  • Eau De Cologne: 3% to 8%
  • Eau De Parfum, EDP: 15% to 20% (Psst! all our perfumes are EDPs)
  • Eau De Toilette, EDT: 8% to 15%

3. Aim for Pulse Points 

Another tip for long-lasting perfume is to apply perfume to pulse points. Apply it to your wrist, neck, behind your knees, ears, and inside your elbows. The areas all pulse with the temperature fluctuations of your body and, in turn, keep your scent all day long.


4. Moisturize Before Fragrance Layering 

And, without a doubt, you already put on body lotion after your shower, so just add your fragrance at that time. Layering your fragrance while your skin is damp helps to prolong the scent. You can also use similar note-based body products to layer with your fragrance and make it last longer. For example, try layering raspberry-flavored body products and follow up with our EZE Boujee perfume. This perfume has fruit and wood notes that are suitable for men and women. A subtle fragrance will smell good and make you identifiable to people around you.


5. Stop Rubbing Your Wrists Together 

Spritzing and rubbing your wrists together feels like second nature, but it is a big NO. The rubbing of wrists not only diminishes the quality of your perfume notes but also disrupts the overall fragrance notes. 


6. Store Your Perfumes Correctly 

A perfume storage tip is always to keep your perfumes in a dark place, away from sunlight and artificial lighting. Excessive amounts of light on the perfume bottle can damage the perfume notes. Exposure to light can cause the molecules to break, reducing its shelf life. The scent becomes unpleasant and will give off sour hints.


7. Choose A Perfume With Strong Base Notes 

Base notes like vanilla, sandalwood, cedarwood, and oud last longer. While you might enjoy floral or citrus-scented perfume, they tend to fade away faster. Floral and citrus are top notes, so you can smell them the fastest, but base notes are stronger. Opt for a perfume with multiple base notes, as it will likely last the day. 


You can choose EZE Surge as it is a mix of fresh and woody fragrances with base notes of cedarwood, making it long-lasting. For women, you can check out EZE Flow, which smells like fresh bakes with peach, musk, vanilla and amber notes. 

Conclusion 

Get the best out of your favorite fragrance with these simple but powerful tips. From fragrance layering to the science behind it, increase the longevity of your favorite fragrance and deepen that connection to the scent. We've been crafting fragrances for over 70 years—fragrances that linger, just like the memories. Explore our collection and find the long-lasting fragrance that accompanies you at every moment of your life.

How to use your eze
Twist and pull the cap to open your Eze. Spritz on your pulse points .i.e. behind your ears, near your armpits, the wrists and inner side of the elbow for maximum impact.
Care and storage

The key is to keep it away from light and heat – so a bathroom, or a sunny dressing table, is NOT the place for your fragrance: higher temperatures affect the top notes of a fragrance, making it musty, or more sour. If you have a dark cupboard to store perfume in, or a drawer, that’s perfect.

Ideally, keep it in the box, or – if you’re using a drawer – wrap bottles in a scarf, or even plastic, unglamorous as that is. Be aware that perfume that’s never been opened and kept in a dark place can last more than 40 years!

  1. What is the difference between Parfum, EDP, EDT, Deo, Aftershave and Cologne etc.?

    These descriptions are used to identify the strength or concentration of perfume oil in a fragrance. The concentrations can vary from fragrance to fragrance, but here is an average guide. In general, the higher the percentage, the higher the price

    Extract/solid perfume – 20-30%
    Perfume – 15-25 %
    Eau de Parfum (EDP) – 8-15% (Psst! All Eze perfumes are EDPs)
    Eau de Toilette (EDT) – 4-8%
    Deodorants (Deos)- 2-4%
    Cologne (EDC) – 2-4%
    Aftershave – 2-4%

  2. Where should I apply perfume?

    Spray/dab on your ‘hot spots’, or pulse points – behind the ears, temples, wrists, nape of neck, back of the knees and in the crease of your elbows. The blood flows close to the surface in these zones, and heats the fragrance oils.

    One big no-no: never ever rub their wrists together after applying fragrance, because it affects the oils.

  3. How much should I wear?

    This is personal – but enough so you can smell it, and not too much that it overpowers the surrounding area. Only when people come close should they experience your perfume. If you’re unsure about whether you tend to ‘overdo’ your fragrance, ask a (good) friend. And take into account the occasion, too: you would certainly want to wear more for a romantic night out than to the office, or lunch with a future mother-in-law!

  4. How long will the perfume last on me?

    That depends on the type of fragrance and on your unique odor footprint, as well as the oiliness or dryness of your skin. Perfume likes to ‘cling’ to oil. This could also mean enhancing the natural oil of your skin by applying a body lotion or a rich cream, before applying your perfume, to give it something to ‘cling’ to.

    The strength of the fragrance is also a factor, and so are the notes: deep, smoldering base notes – the woods, resins, leather and tobacco etc. – last longer. So, a fresh cologne will never last as long as an Oriental.
