💡 Pro Tips for Optimal Scent Longevity:
-Apply to pulse points: wrists, neck, behind ears, inside elbows and knees for better diffusion.
-Hair and clothing? Spray lightly on hair or scarves but avoid delicate fabrics like silk.
-Moisturize: Hydrated skin retains fragrance longer—apply unscented lotion first.
-Don’t rub! Rubbing breaks fragrance molecules and alters the scent.
-Storage: Keep bottles away from heat, light, and humidity to preserve quality.
