If your favourite perfume fades by lunchtime, the perfume is rarely the problem. These habits help any fragrance last longer, even in Dhaka's humidity.
- Apply after a shower β warm, moisturised skin holds scent best. An unscented lotion (or a matching body mist like Brume Vanilla Sugar Body Mist) gives perfume something to cling to.
- Target pulse points β wrists, neck, inner elbows and behind the ears.
- Do not rub your wrists β it crushes the top notes and shortens the life of the scent.
- Spray hair and clothing lightly β fabric and hair keep scent for a long time (spray from 20 cm and test on a hidden spot first).
- Layer β body mist, then perfume, then a dab of attar.
- Choose the right concentration β parfum and attar outlast eau de toilette.
- Store it properly β keep bottles in their box, away from sunlight, heat and the bathroom.
