Cómo fijar el aroma de tu perfume para que dure más tiempo
How to lock in your perfume's scent so it lasts longer
One of the biggest challenges when creating a perfume is making it last. If you apply it and it disappears within an hour, something is wrong. The good news is that you can improve the scent's hold with a few simple tricks.
1. Use custom perfume makers for business last the longest. Some examples:
Vanilla
Sandalwood
Vetiver
Musk
Patchouli
Amber
Include at least one base note in your blend to improve its longevity.
2. Add a natural fixative
Some ingredients help "trap" scents and make them last:
Vegetable glycerin
Resin (benzoin, myrrh)
Orris root tincture
Jojoba oil (in alcohol-free perfumes)
3. Let the perfume rest
Once created, let it macerate for at least 2 weeks in a sealed bottle, in a cool, dark place. This allows the ingredients to blend and the scent to stabilize.
4. Apply to strategic points
To make it last longer on the skin, apply it to:
Wrists
Behind the ears
Inner elbows
On clothing (if the perfume doesn't stain)
Conclusion
You don't need chemicals to achieve a long-lasting perfume. With good ingredients, a little patience, and a balanced formula, you can create personal scents that will stay with you for hours.
