help your body mist last

tips to make perfume or body spray last longer

Body mists are an approachable and affordable option for infusing fragrance into your everyday, but they’re not typically formulated to linger and project as strongly as perfumes. Perfumes have a much higher concentration of fragrance oils compared to mists, which are lighter, more subtle, and meant for more liberal application.  

Despite their lighter formulations, body mists do have the power to linger when applied strategically and paired with other fragrance products. Here’s how to hack your body care routine to get the most out of your favorite mists.

start with clean skin

A long-lasting scent starts in the shower. The cleaner your skin, the more longevity you’ll get out of every step of your fragrance routine, including your body mist. Start by washing away the dirt, sweat, old fragrance, and anything else that might be lingering on skin, and stopping fragrance from projecting and lasting.

layer with lotion

This is where major scent magic happens. Pairing a body mist with a matching or complementary body lotion takes fragrance to a stronger, longer-wearing level.

Pro-tip: the order in which you apply your products matters just as much as what you use. Right after cleansing, massage your favorite scented lotion into the skin. This doesn’t just help you double up on fragrance; it also creates a moisturized base for your mist to cling to, which means you’ll smell great longer. 

After moisturizing, go in with your mist. Applying liberally directly onto clean, freshly moisturized skin will make your fragrance last for hours. 

apply on pulse points

When applying fragrance, where you apply it matters just as much as the product and scent you choose. Sure, a quick spritz to your clothes or a misty cloud you walk through might smell good for a while, but if you want your fragrance to last, applying directly onto your pulse points is key. 

Pulse points are the warm spots on your body where blood vessels sit closest to the skin. Your wrists, neck, behind your ears, inside your elbows, and even behind your knees is where the body naturally radiates heat, meaning they help to activate and diffuse fragrance throughout the day. 

don't forget your hair

If it isn’t already, your hair should become a focal point of your fragrance routine. Hair strands are more porous than skin, which means they’re better at absorbing and locking in scent molecules. First, make sure you’re working with a hair-friendly mist like Cashmere Body Mist, then lightly spritz onto strands for fragrance that lingers all day.
