This May Be The Easiest & Quickest Way To Smell Good All Day 

Whether you have one signature scent or full-on fragrance wardrobe, we'll wager you don't want your perfume to wear off within minutes. Even if you have a travel-sized potion on your person at all times, there's just something magical about smelling delectable from sunup to sundown without a second spritz.

As a general rule of thumb: Perfume clings to hydrated skin. As celebrity makeup artist Rosie Johnston, founder of by/rosie jane, once told mbg, "Hydrated, moisturized skin is really going to hold fragrance a lot longer." That's why some beauty fans swear by spraying perfume after a shower—the notes will have an easier time clutching onto slick, slightly damp skin.

Of course, you'll want to slather on a body lotion to trap in all that moisture; otherwise, all that water will evaporate into the air and leave you drier than before. And your fragrance will leave virtually no trace.

Ever wondered why many fragrance brands offer perfume oils along with their potions? You see, layering a scented body oil under perfume can enhance the fragrance and keep your skin hydrated—a win-win for long-lasting fragrance.

You can either apply the same oil-fragrance duo to really maximize those notes, or choose separate products with scents that complement each other for a more complex fragrance experience. "When different scent notes hit together, then you have an even more robust collection of top, middle, and bottom notes. That definitely helps to make the fragrance last," Chen says.
