For perfumes to last all day they need a little reinforcement. Apply the same fragrance in layers. Most fragrances come in ranges of soap, gel, body lotion, moisturiser and talcum powder. Use all the products that are available in a particular scent and top off with perfume. This should keep you fresh as a daisy for above eight hours.

The best areas to apply perfume are your pulse points, inner ankles, wrists behind knees, nape of the neck and cleavage. Spray perfume low on the body so the scent rises and yo do not lose it as quickly. A light spray on the hair can last all day.

Since temperature effects intensity of perfume, the fragrances you use should vary with seasons. A stronger scent should be warm in cooler weather as the cold reduces its intensity. In summer sparkling flowery notes are ideal.
