Perfumes are expensive and that's no news. And choosing the one that suits your style is a task. If you choose a strong scent, it;s going to give you a headache. And so, you'll have to choose something that's balanced out and brings the right amount to smell on to you. There are hacks about all the places you can apply perfume on. But we're going to give you hacks for making the scent last longer on your skin.

Moisturize: You must know that an oily skin has a lot of potential to hold the scent for longer as compared to dry skin which leads the scent to slide away. You can apply an unscented moisturizer on your skin and then apply the scent on that area.

Rub Vaseline: Petroleum jelly on the skin will ensure that the fragrance is held on the skin for a longer duration than that on the dry skin.

Target the pulse points: Spraying the perfume on the pulse points or warmer areas on the body will have more retaining power and lets the scent linger on for a little longer. It diffuses the scene throughout the body and also lets the scene rise through the day. Major pulse points are: ankles and calves, on your neck, behind your ears, inside your elbows and on your wrists.

Spray a little bit of it on your brush: You can spray your perfume on your hairbrush and then brush your hair which will also make your hair smell amazing. Spraying the perfume directly on your hair will cause it to dry out and break easily.

Make your clothes smell better: If you wish to ensure freshly done laundry, you can line your wardrobe with tissue paper and spray it with your favourite scent. This will cling on to your clothes and make sure they smell amazing at all times.

Walk through the scent: If you don't like strong scents on your body, but you don;t mind a little bit of it on you, simply spray the perfume at an arms distance in the air and then walk through it will it diffuses. The minute droplets will fall on to your clothes and body and you won't have to worry about the strong smell.

Get rid of the scent: If you wish to test a few scents and don't like a particular one, you can immediately take it off with the help of a makeup remover.
