9 PERFUME HACKS THAT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW

Because then you smell the best

Best what scents I have in my closet. And I always spray my favorite completely wrong, but I can hardly enjoy it myself. I've heard that when you spray a scent, you smell it yourself for 7 seconds. And colleagues? They smell it for about 20 seconds. From now on, I'm going to do my best to let the world enjoy my scents a little more. Believe me, these 9 perfume hacks ensure that little perfume gem on your shelf is really worth its money.

1. Don’t layer

Some brands really encourage wearing different scents over each other. Jo Malone is one of the few brands that is actually very good at that. So at Jo Malone, you should definitely do it, but in general, it's better to avoid it. Scents are made with an enormous knowledge of ingredients. On their own, they are fantastic, but if you start mixing and matching, it can become a bit excessive and they will clash. So don't do it.

2. Don’t rub

Actually, rubbing is a real waste. You just rub the scent away and as a result, you won't enjoy your scent for very long.

3. Moisturize

Want to enjoy the scent immensely? Then make sure you have a body lotion with the same scent, because that enhances each other. Don't use other scented lotions, because that will only clash. It's handy to oil your skin a bit with a scentless version. That way, scents will linger longer. Handy!

4. Pillow

Want to sleep well? Spray a little on your pillow. Then you become very relaxed and you will smell it all night.

5. No bathroom versions

Scents are actually not bathroom versions. They may look incredibly beautiful on the shelf, but light, moisture, and heat only weaken your scent. Really a shame. It's better to store them in cooler places in the closet. And you can definitely leave the closet door open to give them a bit more attention.

6. Perfume spray du moment

After showering or bathing, it's better to spray your perfume immediately. You will enjoy it the longest this way, and it will also stay the best.

7. Nice smelling look

Hang a hanger in your closet with some tissue paper sprinkled with your favorite scent. Or put some in a lingerie drawer. When you open it in the morning and take out a clean set, you will be very happy that the scent greets you.

8. Shoulder padding

Want to enjoy your scent immensely? Spray it generously on your shoulders. Normally, excess is harmful, but if you keep enough distance, it's no problem at all. And very nice, because then you smell that goodness all day.

9. Brush

There are hair perfumes that leave a nice scent in your hair. You have to be a bit careful with other perfumes because they contain alcohol and that dries out your hair (and color). If you spray a little on your brush, it won't hurt. Lovely.
