- Apply after a shower – fragrance holds better on clean, moisturised skin.
- Use an unscented lotion first – dry skin lets scent fade faster.
- Target pulse points – wrists, neck and behind the ears.
- Don't rub your wrists – it breaks down the top notes.
- Spray your hair lightly – hair holds scent for hours.
- Layer with matching products – body wash or lotion in the same scent.
- Store it right – keep bottles away from heat, light and bathroom humidity.
