Freshly
out of the bath, spritzing on my favorite perfume can transport me
into nirvana faster than any meditation technique I have tried so far.
Do you feel the same way? Have you ever wanted that feeling to last?
There is a way. Yes, even in this hot weather. And no, it does not involve emptying the entire bottle on yourself in one go.
The more economical way of making your perfume linger longer is by layering your fragrances. Every perfume has a theme. Identify yours. Then pick other grooming products that center around the same theme.
If fruity is your style, then use a fruity body wash during your bath. Immediately, after your bath, preferably still in the bathroom, apply a body moisturizer with the same fruity fragrance. The humidity of the skin at this stage helps the fragrance to bind to your skin better and of course also makes your body soft and supple. Follow up with a fruity deodorant to battle sweat, but this is optional. You can skip this step if wetness and humid weather are of no concern to you. End the layering process with a few light sprays of the desired perfume and enjoy the fresh feeling for a long time.
This hot summer I am finding my solace in the invigorating smell of green tea. Here are the layers I am wearing:
If you want this technique to be more effective and don’t mind a slightly higher cost, you can try the body washes and lotions by the perfume makers themselves. For example, next on my radar are Davidoff Cool Water and Moschino Hippy Fizz.
Certain lifestyle stores offer good discounts on gift packs containing the above products.
