Tips to Make Winter Perfumes Last Longer
Moisturize first – Dry skin eats up fragrance. Use unscented lotion or body oil.
Spray on clothes – Wool and cashmere hold scent for days.
Layer with matching oils – Try Nemat Vanilla Musk under sandalwood essential oil sweet perfumes.
Avoid cold wrists – Spray neck and chest (warmer = better diffusion).
