1. Understand Fragrance Notes & Longevity
Perfumes are made up of top, middle, and base notes, each evaporating at a different rate:
• Top Notes – The first scent you smell (lasts 10-30 minutes).
• Middle Notes – The heart of the fragrance (lasts 2-4 hours).
• Base Notes – The deep, long-lasting scents (can last 6+ hours).
2. Apply Perfume to Pulse Points
Your body heat helps activate the fragrance. Apply perfume to these key pulse points for a longer-lasting scent:
- Wrist – A classic spot, but avoid rubbing!
- Neck – Creates a subtle aura around you.
- Behind Ears – Helps the fragrance project.
- Elbows & Knees – Ideal for all-day diffusion.
- Chest – Keeps the scent close and personal.
3. Moisturize Before Spraying
Perfume lasts longer on hydrated skin. Before applying your scent:
- Use unscented lotion or petroleum jelly on pulse points.
-If you have dry skin, opt for perfumes with a higher oil concentration, like Vulpes Corsac 30% oil perfumes.
4. Store Perfumes Correctly
Heat, light, and air exposure can weaken a perfume’s composition. To preserve the quality and strength of your perfume:
- Keep it in a cool, dark place (avoid direct sunlight).
- Store perfumes in their original box when not in use.
- Avoid keeping perfumes in the bathroom, as humidity can alter their scent.
5. Spray Perfume on Hair & Clothes
Fragrances tend to last longer on fabric than on skin. Here’s how to maximize the longevity of your scent:
- Clothes – Spritz on a scarf, collar, or jacket lining (avoid delicate fabrics like silk).
- Hair – Mist a hairbrush with perfume and run it through your hair for a light scent trail.
Note: Some alcohol-based perfumes can be drying for hair—since Vulpes Corsac perfumes have a high oil content, they are gentler and last longer on hair
6. Choose High-Concentration Perfumes
Not all perfumes are created equal! The concentration of fragrance oil in a perfume determines how long it lasts:
- Eau de Toilette (EDT) – 5-15% oil, lasts 2-4 hours.
- Eau de Parfum (EDP) – 15-20% oil, lasts 4-6 hours.
- Extrait de Parfum – 20-40% oil, lasts 8+ hours.
- Vulpes Corsac perfumes contain 30% oil, making them extrait de parfum quality—ensuring long-lasting performance throughout the day.
