How to Layer Fragrances
Anyone who uses perfume finds it frustrating when the fragrance wears off after a couple of hours. On the one hand, if you spray a ton of your favorite fragrance on so it will last all day, the scent is too overwhelming. On the other hand, if you spray just enough, the fragrance wears off by lunch. The solution to this problem is layering your fragrance. Does this Spark an idea?

Learn the concept of layering fragrances. Think of it like putting on a few thin coats of paint as opposed to one thick coat. It sticks better and lasts longer.

Put on the first layer. Your first fragrance layer is body wash. When you decide what fragrance you will be wearing for the day, use the corresponding body wash during your shower or bath.

Tips & Warnings
If you don't have or can't find matching body wash, use an unscented or fragrance-free soap.
Many department stores sell moisturizer, body wash and perfume in the same fragrance.
Pay attention to the strength of the fragrance in the moisturizer. A lot of moisturizers have strong, long-lasting fragrances. If this is the case with your moisturizer, skip the perfume layer.
Apply perfume or cologne to your body and not your clothes. Perfume on clothes will smell different when it is mixed with the scents of your laundry detergent and fabric softener. Plus, it wears off more quickly.
Know your boundaries. Your fragrance should only be detected if someone is within an arm's length of you.
