VALENTINE'S GIFT GUIDE DAY 4: SMELL SEXY ALL DAY (PERFUME)

Updated: Jul 23, 2023

This is a step by step guide to making your fragrance last all day... and all night! Plus, a few fragrance favorites from my personal collection.

It has been a few months since I last sold cosmetics and so my recommendations on scents are only as current as that time (circa Nov 2020).

1. EXFOLIATE: The key to long lasting fragrance begins in your shower routine. Scent clings better to hydrated skin so buff away those dead skin cells to prep for step 2.

2. MOISTURIZE: Let me share a secret with you that will change your LIFE! Before you step out of the shower, use your bath towel to wipe extra water from your skin.

YOU WILL NEVER FREEZE AFTER YOUR SHOWER AGAIN!! No need to dry off, go in and apply a lightly scented body moisturizer; using the complimentary lotion maximizes the perfume you already love. Damp skin best locks in scent of step 3.

3. SPRITZ: Spray fragrance on your pulse points. Perfume is activated by body heat therefore, concentrate on warm areas of the body such as wrists, neck, inside elbows, between the knees and ankles. By applying perfume to these heat-emitting areas, your favorite fragrance won't irritate your skin.

+MORE: Other tips include purchasing eau de parfums because they have higher alcohol contents (stronger), not getting dressed immediately after to avoid rubbing off scent, spray a hairbrush before coming hair, don't rub fragrance as it breaks down top-notes and store outside of the bathroom in a dark space to maintain the formula.
