Question

Is there a secret to making fragrance last longer?

Janet, via email.

Answer

The secret to making fragrance last longer is layering. Build up layers of scent on the skin by using different forms of the same fragrance – perfumed soap, bath oil or gel, body lotion or cream, dusting powder and eau de toilette. Each reinforces the impact of the other to quadruple the life of your favourite scent.

Layering, or ‘fragrance dressing’ as it’s sometimes called, is also a clever way to wear a fragrance that’s too overpowering for daytime use.
