Why Lotion Is the Secret to Making Your Perfume Last All Day
We’ve all been there: you spritz on your favorite expensive fragrance in the morning, and by your mid-day coffee run, it’s completely vanished. The truth is, fragrance performs best on hydrated skin. When your skin is dry, it essentially “swallows” the scent.
By applying a base of EOS body lotion or a rich body oil, you’re creating a barrier. These emollient layers help trap the fragrance molecules so they evaporate much more slowly.
