9 THINGS THAT GOOD SMELLING PEOPLE ALWAYS DO
I am always intensely jealous of those incredibly good smelling people. Jacqueline from Dior , for example, is a walking golden fragrance bottle that you want to sniff all day long. And then I almost forget our own May; she is also truly an inspiration when it comes to good smelling material. All deliciousness without having to empty a whole bottle. How do you do that? Just read the tips below, and you can quickly take your place in the category of ‘good smelling, always good smelling ladies’.
1. A sip of water for your skin
Actually, there should always be a full glass of water next to you. Or empty. It just depends on how you look at it. What is important, in any case, is that you hydrate your skin well. If your skin is nice and soft, then perfume will also last much longer on your skin.
2. Love for your clothes
It's a bit of a no-brainer, but make sure that everything in your closet is just super fresh. You might not smell a smoky scent after a night out, but it definitely dominates when you wear unwashed clothes a week later. If you're short on time, there are always those sprays with a fresh laundry scent that at least mimic that smell. Believe me, a real perfume comes out so much nicer then.

3. Spray specially
The spot where you spray is important for the result. Choose the spots that get the warmest on your body: the back of your neck, in your knee pits, on your chest, in your hair, and behind your ears. Now it sounds like you have to spray a lot, but those spots keep the scent beautifully balanced. When the skin warms up again, it also releases a bit of fragrance. Also handy: spray a scent half an hour before you leave the house, then it has time to settle and you can enjoy it much longer.
4. Work in layers
Scents are often not only available as cologne or fragrance, you can do much more with them. They come in the form of body lotions, shower gels, soap, and who knows what else. Very nice, because with that you can build a scent in different layers. The result is that the scent is even more present and lasts longer.
5. A little spray throughout the day
If long-lasting is your goal, know that not all scents are the same. Scents based on citrus and eau de colognes fade a bit faster, so go for perfumes that are more concentrated and a bit heavier in the base. It's better to apply a little extra scent throughout the day than to apply a very strong dose in the morning. Moreover, that's quite a waste. Your skin lives, breathes, and sweats, so a scent just doesn't last that long. If you touch it up three times a day, a scent comes back to life.
6. Lifestyle
You don't have to apply a scent only on your skin. It's a lifestyle. So spray a scent not only on your skin, but also on your clothes and your home. You don't have to use the same scent, I can imagine that would be an expensive joke, but sometimes they also have a home fragrance that is nice.
A good scent is life-changing, fits into your whole life and at all moments of the day.
7. Treasure hunt for your favorite
You don't just find a scent. It's a quest. So try out different ones, then you know what will and won't work. A good scent is life-changing, fits into your whole life and at all moments of the day.
8. Test it
Don't just spray a scent on a blotter, but also on yourself. It smells really different on paper. And a scent also smells really different on another person. Scents have their own life, and on every skin, it works differently.
9. You are what you eat
What you eat, is how you smell. Yes, you might not realize it, but food also comes out of your pores. If you love very spicy food, eat a lot of onions, garlic, and who knows what else, then that scent comes out of your pores. Those are pretty intense scents. Fresh vegetables and fruits ensure that the scent of your skin remains very stable. Alcohol can give off an intense scent. And sugar makes you smell very sweet. It just depends on what you're in the mood for.
