☀️ 1. Pick the Right Type of Perfume
•Use Eau de Parfum (EDP) or Extrait instead of Eau de Toilette.
•Go for fresh, aquatic, citrus, fruity, or light woody notes like:
•Lemon, bergamot, grapefruit, mint
•Coconut, white musk, sea breeze, green tea
•Light woods or spices (like vetiver, cardamom)
🔥 Avoid heavy oud, animalic musks, or overly sweet gourmands—they can feel cloying in heat.

💧 2. Apply Right After a Shower (on Moist Skin)
•Spray on clean, damp skin (before putting clothes on).
•Use an unscented moisturizer or body oil first—perfume sticks better to hydrated skin.
💡 Pro tip: Vaseline or shea butter on pulse points helps lock in fragrance longer.

💦 3. Focus on Strategic Pulse Points
Apply perfume where body heat activates it slowly:
•Inner elbows
•Back of knees
•Behind ears
•On chest and sides of neck
•Wrists (but don’t rub them together!)
✨ For summer, avoid spraying directly on underarms or sweaty areas—it can change the scent.

👕 4. Spray on Clothes (Cautiously)
•Fabric holds perfume better than skin in summer.
•Spray on collars, inside of shirt, or scarf.
•Avoid silk and light-colored clothes (can stain).
⸻
🧴 5. Use Matching or Layered Scents
•Use matching body washes, lotions, or mists with your perfume.
•Or layer complimentary scents: citrus mist + musky base.
⸻
🚿 6. Carry a Travel Spray for Reapplication
•Summer heat fades perfume faster.
•A small decant (10 ml or less) in your bag lets you refresh mid-day.
⸻
💨 7. Spray the Air & Walk Through
•For a light, all-over effect, spray in front of you and walk through the mist.
⸻
🧼 8. Avoid Mixing with Strong Deos or Soaps
•Use neutral-smelling deodorants or soaps so your perfume can shine.

🧠 Bonus: Psychological Hacks for Compliments
•People remember fresh, clean scents more positively in summer.
•Spray a bit where your hair moves (like the nape of your neck) for an unexpected whiff.
•Be consistent—people associate signature scents with your personality.
