How to Make Your Perfume Last Longer
Apply moisturizer on pulse points
Dry skin doesn’t quite absorb and hold fragrance the same way as hydrated skin, so rub on some unscented moisturizer or body oil to help the fragrance hold longer. Using petroleum jelly also works wonders in holding the scent longer, especially when applied on your wrists, neck, inside elbows, knees, and ankles.
Store your perfume smartly
Perfumes should always be stored away from daylight to avoid breaking down the fragrance. For instance, Swiss Arabian perfumes come beautifully packaged in elegant boxes that look great on top of your dresser and if you want them to last longer, you can also put them inside your fridge to preserve their strength.

An easy alternative is carrying Swiss Arabian’s wide range of concentrated perfume oils that are perfectly packed in deluxe, travel-friendly sizes, ideal for when you’re on the go.
Layer fragrances
An interesting way to make your perfume last longer; try fragrance layering which involves starting with a heavier scent and then spritzing a lighter one on top of it to tie in the notes. You can also try layering it with concentrated perfume oils and incense to intensify the fragrance and improve its longevity.
