Fragrance longevity: Tips for application and product selection

Maintaining fragrance longevity involves both product selection and proper application techniques. For daily use, scents that balance freshness with sophistication are recommended to influence mood and personal presence without being overwhelming.

Specific fragrance options from O Boticário include Quasar Feminino, a citrus and energizing scent with floral notes, and Acqua Fresca, which utilizes lemon, bergamot, and lavender for continuous freshness.

To extend the life of a perfume on the skin, experts suggest applying fragrance to hydrated skin using unscented moisturizers. Applying scent after a bath when the skin is warm can improve absorption. Targeting pulse points—such as the wrists, neck, behind the ears, inner elbows, and behind the knees—allows body heat to release the aroma gradually.

Additional tips include avoiding the rubbing of wrists, which can alter the fragrance evolution, and using the layering technique with matching body gels and creams. For storage, perfume bottles should be kept in cool, dry locations away from direct light and humidity to prevent composition changes.
