Hey girl, heyy! In this video I’m breaking down 5 perfume mistakes that are literally ruining your fragrance longevity—and I’m giving you the exact fixes that changed the way my scents perform. If you feel like you spray your perfume and two hours later it’s gone, it’s not always the perfume… it’s usually the routine. I’m a firm believer that smelling good does not start with your perfume, it starts in the shower. If you’re skipping proper cleansing and exfoliation, you’ve already lost the plot—because fragrance sits best on clean, fresh skin. After shower prep, I get into hydration because perfume does not hold on to dry skin. I walk you through why moisturizing (I love a good scented lotion moment) gives your perfume something to cling to, and then I take it up a level with oils—regular body oils for grip, and perfume oils if you want that “smelling edible” vibe and a subtle but addictive scent trail. I also explain perfume concentration tiers (body spray vs EDT vs EDP vs parfum/intense), how notes like vanilla/amber/oud/musk tend to last longer than fresh citrusy scents, and why placement on pulse points (behind ears, neck, inner elbows, behind knees, wrists) makes or breaks your projection. And please—no rubbing your wrists. Let it marinate.
