A FRAGRANCE pro has shared their tips to get your money’s worth out of your perfumes.
A trick helped boost their perfume’s longevity.
Redditor Commonfckingsense shared the beauty tip in a post.
“I used to work at Ulta, specifically in fragrance, so I have a few tips!” they said.
They explained that layering the same scent goes a long way.
“If you can, use the same scent for body wash, lotion, and perfume,” they said.
A Vaseline prep trick also helps fragrances adhere better to the skin.
“Another kind of odd hack is putting a bit of Vaseline on before your perfume; it sits on the skin for a bit longer before soaking in,” they said.
“Invest in higher quality perfumes and avoid anything that’s a ‘body spray.'”
“Also, fun fact: perfumes can smell entirely different from person to person.
“They mix with the natural oils from your body, giving you your own unique scent.
“Also, something that smells good on swatch paper might smell entirely different once it’s set on your skin.”
Others agreed that while luxury perfumes can be expensive, they were well worth the investment.
“This! A lady working at Ulta taught me the importance of investing in better-quality scents, too,” said one commenter.
“I thought for sure she was just trying to make the sale, lol.
“Even after her advice, I was too cheap to splurge, so my husband went back and got me a lovely YSL scent for Christmas, and I tell you, it was a game-changer! Even my kid commented on how she likes my perfume now.”

“You know, I never thought about using the same scent for perfume and soap,” said another commenter.
“I’m going to do that now. Ashamedly, I only have body spray cause it’s cheap.”
One commenter added that the layering technique upped their scent game.
“It’s a game changer using all three or three similar scents/ones that blend well together,” they said.
“Body spray is entirely fine. It just doesn’t last as long.
“Try the Vaseline hack, and it should make it last longer! Also, avoid alcohol-based products, [they] just dry your skin out.”
