There’s nothing worse than spraying on your favorite fragrance in the morning only for it to disappear by lunchtime. We've got you covered if you’re looking for ways to keep your signature scent lingering from dawn to dusk. Here are our top five tips to make your fragrance last all day.
1. Create a Great Foundation
Fragrance longevity starts with a solid foundation. If your favorite scent comes in bath and body products, use them as part of your routine.
