1. Choose EDP

You might have heard about EDP but what EDP actually is? EDP is Eau De Parfum, a type of fragrance concentration that is known for its long lasting fragrance and intensity. EDP contains higher concentrations of aromatic oils, which stays through without fading away.

2. Choose captivating fragrances

Explore the market by choosing the fragrances which are fresh, citrusy and have an uplifting scent. The lighter notes of fragrances present in the perfume, mixes well with the warm weather making them stay for longer hours.

3. Look for longevity claims

Whenever buying any fragrance, always look out for the longevity claims provided by the brand. It is important to know if the perfume is providing fragrance for the day or not. With the higher concentration of oils in EDP, they tend to last for about 4-6 hours or even longer depending upon the ingredients and the skin’s chemistry with the perfume.

4. Always layer

Always follow the layer technique when you want the perfume to last for a longer period of time. Always apply the perfume after you come out of the shower on fresh skin, so that it blends with the moisture and stays intact. Spraying the perfume on body lotion or body oils can also intensify the fragrance of the perfume and make it stay longer.

5. Apply on pulse points!

It is always important to apply the fragrances to your pulse points rather than on the clothes. Spray the perfume of your wrist, behind the ears, inside of the elbows and neck. The pulse points emit heat which helps to diffuse in the fragrance. This diffusion of fragrance makes the perfume last for longer hours.

6. Storage of the perfume

Storage of the perfume is always to be considered. Always keep your perfume in a cool and dry place and away from the sunlight. Keeping the fragrance away from direct sunlight helps to maintain its potency.

When choosing a summer fragrance, always keep in mind the discussed points to have a long lasting fragrance. Choosing the right summer fragrance involves finding the right balance between the notes, application techniques and concentration of oils. By carefully following the tips and tricks you can feel and smell fresh even on the hottest days!
