7 Perfume Application Points to Make Your Scent Last All Day — Where Should You Spray for Maximum Longevity?
Making your perfume last isn’t just about choosing the right concentration — the placement matters even more! Many people spray only on the neck or wrists, or even directly on clothes. But in fact, there are several other pulse points that help your fragrance diffuse better, smell softer, and last longer. If your perfume fades quickly, try adjusting your application technique with these tips.

1. Behind the Ears

A classic spot for perfume application. The temperature behind the ears is relatively warm, which helps enhance diffusion and allows the scent to bloom naturally. This is ideal for sweet, soft, or intimate fragrances.

2. Neck / Collarbone Area

Perfect for those who want an instantly attractive aura. Spraying perfume on the neck allows the scent to rise gently, especially in warm weather or when you perspire slightly — it diffuses beautifully.

3. Near the Wrists (Do not rub!)

Many people spray perfume on their wrists and then rub them together, which breaks down fragrance molecules and weakens longevity. Spray lightly and let it dry naturally for the best projection and staying power.

4. Inner Elbows

This pulse point has an ideal temperature for fragrance diffusion. Spraying inside the elbows helps the scent bloom every time you move your arms. A subtle but highly effective spot, especially for floral or fruity fragrances.

5. Behind the Knees

An underrated but powerful location. Spraying behind the knees helps the scent rise naturally as you move — especially when wearing skirts, shorts, or walking outdoors.

6. Shoulders & Chest Area (On Clothing)

If you want maximum longevity, spray lightly on clothing — like the shoulders or chest area. But be cautious with dark or heavily coloured perfumes, as they may stain fabric.

7. On Moisturized Skin

Dry skin causes fragrance to fade quickly. Apply an unscented lotion or moisturizer before spraying perfume. This helps lock in the scent and boosts longevity by 2–3 times.
