Before applying Victoria's Secret perfume, moisturize with an unscented lotion or body oil to prolong its life. A hydrated base helps the fragrance stick. Focus on pulse points like wrists, inner elbows, behind ears, and throat base to activate scent with body heat.
After applying perfume, avoid rubbing your wrists to break down molecules. For a gentle mist, hold the perfume bottle a few inches from your skin. Layer perfume with matching body lotion or mist to prolong the scent.
Bring a travel-sized perfume for touch-ups throughout the day. Alternatively, a matching body mist can refresh your scent without overdoing it. These tips will help you enjoy your Victoria's Secret perfume longer.
