Scent

Bestie…listen,

If there’s one thing I love, it’s getting stopped and asked, “What perfume are you wearing?” And let me tell you—there’s a secret to making your scent last all day (and getting all the compliments). It’s called ~scent layering~, and it’s a total game-changer.

The key? Prepping your skin the right way, layering your fragrance for maximum longevity, and applying it to all the right spots. Follow my simple steps below to keep your perfume lingering from morning to night. Trust me, once you start layering, you’ll never go back!

STEP ONE: Prep Your Skin

I always start with a body oil—scented or unscented, totally your call. The key is applying it right after you shower, while your skin is still damp. This locks in moisture and creates the perfect base for your fragrance to cling to, making it last longer and keeping your skin soft. Win-win!

STEP TWO: Hydrate!

Moisturizing is a must, especially in the spots where you’ll be applying perfume. Hydrated skin holds onto fragrance better, so after your oil has absorbed, layer on a good lotion or body cream. This not only boosts your scent’s staying power but also gives your skin a little extra TLC. *Bonus points if the lotion shares the same notes as your perfume!*

STEP THREE: Perfume Application

Now for the fun part! Focus on your pulse points—chest, back of the neck, behind the ears, wrists, and even behind the knees (tell your partner I said you’re welcome😉🌶️). These spots naturally warm up, helping your perfume diffuse beautifully throughout the day. One rule: DON’T RUB IT IN! Let the fragrance dry naturally so the scent stays true. And if I’m feeling extra? A little spritz of scented hair mist for that all-over moment.

Now go forth and smell dreamy all day long!
