Get ready to hear “OMG, you smell so good!” a lot. Whether you’re struggling to get your signature scent to survive the school day or unsure which perfume-y products to snag, read on for our top tips on how to smell downright delish. Psst: There’s more to it than just a spritz.

Yup, you hear us right. You don’t just spritz on perfume before bolting out the door. Instead, you need to start from square one. While you’re in the shower, pack on the scent with a scented body scrub or cleanser. Snag a fragrant body lotion or body oil and lather it on right after stepping out of the shower. This creates that first layer of irresistible aroma that will also act as a safety net for your perfume.
Pro tip: Stick to similar scents for your perfume layers. A fan of fruity aromas? Pair the EOS Strawberry Dream Body Wash with the matching lotion. For the girls who love smelling like vanilla, try Saltair’s body wash and Summer Friday’s Vanilla Body Balm.
Reapply At School
No matter how long your perfume claims it will last, consistency is key! One round of sprays right before leaving the house might last you until second period, but after that, it’s safe to say the scent has probably gone poof. So carry a mini (or regular) size of your fave perfume in your backpack for those midday locker touchups.
Pro tip: Hair perfume can help make your strands smell ah-mazing. It tends to last longer than just spritzing your wrists and neck (that’s because your hair fibers are porous, so they trap fragrance molecules more effectively than your skin).
Don’t Just Spray, Roll
PSA: Roll-on perfume exists (and they’re often cheaper than their bottle counterparts). Apply the product for a more pressure-focused application, which lengthens the time your scent will actually last. Then, pop it in your purse/backpack/pocket for on-the-go application. Consider us on a (perfume) roll…
