How long can the fragrance of perfume last? Will the perfume go bad if it is not used for a long time?

How long does the scent of perfume last after you spray it? Will perfume go bad if you don't use it for a long time? Can perfume be sprayed directly on the skin? Where is the best place to spray perfume?

The lasting time of perfume varies according to different skin types. Generally speaking, high-concentration perfume can last for 4 to 5 hours, while eau de toilette and cologne can last for 3 to 4 hours. If you spray it on clothes, the lasting time will be much longer, but the diffusion will be correspondingly worse, which is not worth the loss. Therefore, if you want the perfume to work, you must spray it on the skin. Although some good perfumes can last for many days or even more than a week, the diffusion of the perfume at that time is already very low, and it is only the residual aftertaste that can be smelled only when the nose is close.

Perfume will not deteriorate over time. The deterioration of perfume has nothing to do with the length of time it is produced and stored. Generally speaking, perfume can be stored for about ten years, but its deterioration is closely related to the way it is stored and the environment. Although the shelf life of ordinary perfumes is marked on the packaging, it is usually about three years, and some are even calculated based on the date of opening. But in fact, unopened perfumes can basically be stored for about ten years. Good perfumes may have a longer shelf life. Long-term storage will not only not cause the perfume to fade or deteriorate, but may even make the smell better and better due to long storage time.

When spraying perfume, be careful not to spray it directly on the skin, especially on the skin that has been coated with balm, lotion, etc., which can easily affect the effect of the perfume. In addition, in the summer, if you spray perfume directly on the skin, after sweating, the mixed smell of sweat and perfume will be very unpleasant.

1. Behind the ears. This area is full of veins, which will make the sensitive skin here constantly hot. Therefore, perfume applied to this area will evaporate more thoroughly after being "heated".

2. Inside the elbows. Just like behind the ears, the scent of perfume will be more noticeable on the inside of the elbows. Apply perfume here and you can enjoy your favorite scent all day long.

3. On hair. If you spray perfume on wet hair, the fragrance will last longer. Pick up a bunch of hair, spray a few drops of perfume on it, and after combing your hair, the perfume will be dispersed all over your hair.

4. On the belly. The belly is the hottest part of the body. Marilyn Monroe also used this trick to spray perfume on her belly button. In her opinion, this would make women more sexy and charming.

5. The back of the knee. When we walk, this area usually gets hot, and the smell of perfume will be more intense. Because the heat circulates from bottom to top, you will not smell your perfume. But people around you will smell your fragrance after you walk by.
