The Art of Layering Scents – How to Make Your Perfume Last Longer

 Follow these expert perfume hacks to make your signature scent last longer.

Step 1: Start with a Hydrated Base

Did you know fragrance lasts longer on moisturized skin? Perfume molecules evaporate faster on dry skin, so always apply an unscented body lotion or scented moisturizer before spraying perfume.

Pro Tip: Apply petroleum jelly on pulse points (wrists, neck, behind ears) before spraying perfume to help lock in the scent.

Step 2: Layer Complementary Scents

Want to create a unique signature scent? Mix and match perfume notes that blend well together.

✔ Floral + Fruity → Fresh & youthful

✔ Woody + Spicy → Bold & elegant

✔ Vanilla + Musk → Warm & sensual

Try This Winning Combo:

1. Floral + Fruity (Fresh & Youthful)

Lattafa Yara (Floral, tropical, vanilla)

Lattafa Raghba for Women (Fruity, sweet, vanilla)

2. Woody + Spicy (Bold & Elegant)

Lattafa Khamrah (Spicy cinnamon, praline, vanilla)

Lattafa Oud Mood (Woody, smoky, intense oud)

3. Vanilla + Musk (Warm & Sensual)

Lattafa Raghba (Vanilla, caramel, amber)

Lattafa Fakhar Black (Musky, woody, slightly sweet)

This fragrance layering technique creates depth and helps the perfume last longer.

Step 3: Apply Perfume in the Right Order

For a long-lasting fragrance experience, apply perfume strategically:

1️⃣ Start with a scented body wash & lotion → This creates a foundation for the scent.
2️⃣ Use a perfume oil or body mist → A light, buildable layer.
3️⃣ Spray Eau de Parfum (EDP) → Stronger and lasts longer than Eau de Toilette (EDT).
4️⃣ Finish with a hair mist or fabric spray → Ensures scent lingers on clothing and hair.

Avoid These Common Perfume Mistakes:

❌ Rubbing your wrists together (breaks down fragrance molecules).
❌ Spraying perfume on dry skin (causes it to fade faster).
❌ Overapplying strong scents (can be overwhelming).

Step 4: Spray on Clothes & Hair for Maximum Longevity

Perfume lasts longer on fabric and hair than on skin. Lightly mist:

✔ Hairbrush (before brushing through your hair)
✔ Scarf or jacket (holds scent all day)
✔ Inner lining of clothes (prevents perfume stains)

Pro Tip: Use a perfume-free hair mist or alcohol-free spray to avoid drying out your hair like Lattafa Majaazi Hair Mist which is part of the Lattafa fragrance line and is a luxurious, lightweight mist designed to leave a long-lasting, pleasant scent in your hair,
