Perfume Primers vs Vaseline: Which Works Best?
Both perfume primers and Vaseline can make your fragrance last longer, but primers are designed specifically for scent retention, offering better projection and a more luxurious feel.
How Vaseline Works for Fragrances
Petroleum jelly acts as an occlusive layer, trapping scent molecules on the skin. It’s an inexpensive, fragrance-free option that can slightly extend wear time.
How Perfume Primers Work
Primers, like VEXA’s Fusion Butter, are formulated with scent-binding agents such as Pullulan and moisturizing butters. They enhance projection, smooth application, and nourish the skin—all while extending longevity.
