1. Never store your perfume in wet and humid places. Keep your shiny liquids away from damp and warm places as it tends to have a direct impact on the quality of your fragrance. This is because when you store perfumes in your bathroom or near window areas their quality deteriorates. Always store your perfume in a cool and dry place, such as vanity kit in your room. You could also use a classic cake stand to store them!

2. Keep a track of target pulse points when applying perfume. Applying perfumes directly on target areas, such as knees, elbows, calves and inner wrist is an apt way to bask in the glory of your applied fragrance all day long. This is because, these areas are warmer compared to other body parts, and tends to have a long lasting staying effect of perfumes.

3. Apply a base on unscented lotion first. Applying lotion first will help the oily components of the lotion to interfere with the fragrances, hence making them last longer. This tip is especially beneficial for people who tend to have extremely dry skin.
