Why Your Skin's Moisture Level Affects How Long Your Perfume Lasts

Have you ever spritzed your favorite perfume in the morning only to wonder where it went by noon? You're not imagining things — and it's probably not the perfume's fault. One factor that can influence how long a fragrance lasts? Your skin's moisture level. That said, fragrance longevity is also affected by formulation, concentration, application, environment, and individual skin — so it's rarely just one thing.

Fragrance Needs Something to Hold Onto

Applying fragrance over moisturized skin may help some fragrances linger a little longer for some people. Results can vary depending on the fragrance, your skin, and other factors — but it's a simple step worth trying as part of your routine.

Tips to Help Your Fragrance Last Longer

The secret is simple: moisturize before you spritz. Apply your body lotion or hydrating cream right after your shower while your skin is still slightly damp. Let it absorb for a minute, then apply your Glow Luxe fragrance on top. Applying your fragrance after moisturizer may help support longer-lasting scent for some people.

Pulse points — wrists, neck, inner elbows, and behind the knees — are commonly used areas for fragrance application. Follow your product's directions for best results.

The Glow Luxe Routine

Cleanse with our nourishing body wash, follow with our hydrating body lotion, then finish with a few spritzes of your Glow Luxe Whispering Petals Perfume or a roll of the Glow Luxe Whispering Petals Perfume Rollerball. That's it — a simple layering routine to enjoy as part of your body care ritual.

Your skin deserves to be nourished. Your scent deserves to last. Do both.
