✨ Why Some Perfumes Fade Faster Than Others
Ever noticed how one fragrance lingers for hours while another disappears in minutes? The secret lies in the oil concentration, skin type, and storage habits.
Perfumes with higher oil content—like Eau de Parfum (EDP)—last longer than lighter Eau de Toilettes (EDT). At TrueScents, our dupes such as Essence de rouge and Royal Aventus are formulated with up to 40 % fragrance oil, ensuring a scent that lasts all day.
🧴 1. Apply Right After a Shower
Moist skin holds fragrance better. Apply perfume right after a warm shower while your pores are open. Lock it in with a light unscented moisturizer before spraying.
💧 2. Spray on Pulse Points
Focus on areas that emit heat—wrists, neck, behind ears, and inner elbows. Heat helps diffuse your scent slowly throughout the day.
🧥 3. Layer Your Fragrance
Start with a matching body oil or lotion, then spritz perfume over it. Layering doubles longevity and creates depth. Try combining True Dawn (woody citrus) with Soft Embrace (musk amber) for a signature blend.
🌤️ 4. Don’t Rub Your Wrists Together
Rubbing breaks down top notes and alters the fragrance structure. Instead, lightly dab or let it air dry.
🕶️ 5. Keep Perfume Away from Heat and Sunlight
Store bottles in a cool, dark place—not on your dresser by the window. Heat and UV light can oxidize the oil and shorten lifespan.
🧳 6. Spray on Clothes and Hair Lightly
A tiny mist on fabric or hair fibers can extend the trail of your fragrance. (Avoid delicate silk and light colours.)
💡 Pro Tip: A single spritz of Essence de rouge on a scarf can stay noticeable for days.
🕰️ 7. Reapply Smartly
Instead of spraying more on top of old layers, gently wipe your skin first and then reapply. Keep a travel-size spray in your bag for midday touch-ups.
