Smell Well

Our choice of fragrance says a lot about us. In fact, Christian Dior said, “A woman’s perfume tells more about her than her handwriting.” Typically one of the last steps of our beauty regime, I can give you a tip I personally use to make perfume go further.

Research indicates that hydrated skin better receives fragrance – meaning, if you spritz your perfume on skin that has been moisturized, the scent lasts longer. So, every morning, after I showered, I began applying lotion to my arms (hello dry elbows!) and legs. I started to notice that the fragrance of my lotion over-powered or competed with my perfume.

And perfume is expensive, right? So, I wanted a solution to moisturize without having to pay top dollar for my Dior body lotion. (My scent is Miss Dior Cherie <3)

I began buying fragrance-free hydrating lotion and spraying several spritz of my perfume in my body cream. Doing so means I can alter the strength of my fragrance and still see the benefits of daily moisturizing.

Inexpensive and easy, right?

Tell me, lovelies… what is your favorite fragrance? Do you have any money-saving tips?
