Do you wish your natural fragrance or perfume had more staying power?
Natural fragrances made with essential oils tend to dissipate faster than artificial fragrances, which, in my opinion, is a plus! Natural fragrances are gentler and blend better with your natural body chemistry. A dominant perfume that stays with you all day long is too much and ends up numbing your senses (and everyone else's around you!).
Here are a few tips, however, on how to make your natural fragrance linger a bit longer:
* Apply your natural fragrance on damp skin (right after a shower or bath).
* Moisturize your skin before applying… It will not evaporate as fast.
* Use a few products that will layer the same fragrance, such as a body oil, and the matching fragrance oil or eau de toilette.
* Choose blends that include base notes, which will add depth and lasting power to the scent (cedarwood, sandalwood, amber, patchouli, oakmoss, vanilla etc...)
* Don’t rub your fragrance after applying… You will break down the delicate top notes and it will dissipate faster!
* In addition to the usual pulse points, apply also to the lower parts of your body, like the back of your knees.
* Do not leave your fragrance in the light or heat. Keep it as much as possible in a dark, cool place.
Remember that essential oils have therapeutic benefits that improve your overall well-being. So re-apply whenever your energy level drops, or when you need to be uplifted, inspired or relaxed.
