How to Make Your Fragrance Last Longer
To make your fragrance last longer, apply it to moisturized skin, target pulse points, use a fragrance primer, and avoid rubbing wrists together after spraying.
Prep Your Skin
Fragrance lasts longer on hydrated skin. Apply an unscented lotion or a dedicated fragrance primer before spraying. Bonus tip: Use a body scrub in the shower to prep your skin for better hydration.
Apply to Pulse Points
Target warm areas like the wrists, neck, and behind the ears to help diffuse scent. If you're using a perfume primer, apply to these areas so it acts like a "glue" for the spray.
Layer Your Fragrance
Use matching body products (lotions, oils, or primers) to reinforce the scent profile. We recommend unscented primers and lotions.
Use a Fragrance Primer for Maximum Hold
A perfume primer like VEXA Beauty’s Fusion Butter enhances longevity by locking in perfume molecules and boosting projection. Unlike basic moisturizers, it’s formulated specifically to grip fragrance while nourishing the skin.
