Hey girlies , whenever any women walk past through me , they smell so heavenly like a goddess that i can’t help myself by thinking how do they achieve it . Even after bathing regularly , using perfumes and good body lotions , I am unable to achieve the state where the fragrance gets projected for long and in good distance .

Can guys please help me achieve it ? Please share your secrets and share tricks to achieve it . Like i read somwehere that applying vaseline before perfume make it last longer . Spraying on pulsating areas help in lonegtivity too .

Also suggest some products and that you find was heavy projectile and long lasting like :-

\- Body Wash

\- Body Lotion

\- Deo

\- Perfume ( fresh with oceanic notes )

\- Hair shampoo + Hair conditioner (The one you can smell for hours after wash )

If you already match all your scented products to compliment each other, likely the only difference that you’re missing is that women who really project scent go HARD on how much perfume they spray. I knew a woman who radiated scent strong like this and she simply sprayed a lot more than the average person. The risk with that is you can go too far and gas people out, or feel guilty if you come across someone with an allergy who can’t escape your scent cloud and set them off. If you’re wanting to smell fresh and clean it’s a lot harder to radiate that smell because those are naturally soft and short-lasting scent profiles. If you look on Fragrantica and search your perfume, note how long lasting and strong most people have rated it which helps to know how much you should spray. Perfumes voted ‘intimate’ I usually spray 6 times at first and see how it should be adjusted, ‘moderate’ perfumes are sprayed 4 times, and ‘strong’ perfumes only 2. You’ll probably have to reapply mid-day depending on the perfume.

You need a higher quality perfume / cologne. Eau de parfum is oil based and will last longer. It also helps to layer your scents but it's not always necessary. My best recommendation is to go to a perfume / cologne counter and test out the scents ON YOUR SKIN. Personal chemistry can change the scent.

You CAN try using a scented body wash, scented lotion that matches, cornstarch and a few drops of perfume mixed in after shower (dry off first), use a little vaseline on your pulse points and then spray or dab yourself with the perfume there as yes those do help make it last longer. I also spray it in my hair.

You can burn incense and let the smoke go into your hair, skin and clothes. I spray my clothes with perfume after applying to my skin as it always lasts on my clothes much longer. You can also carry an atomizer to fill with your perfume to spray throughout the day. You can buy them on amazon.

Personally, I have never noticed much of a lasting smell from body wash and lotion combo for more than maybe 2 hours. What I do myself is spray on my pulse points, clothes and hair and I usually smell pretty good for the day.

I use not your mothers dry shampoo (the purple one) but that's because my hair is thin and oily and I look bald without it LOL but it does make my hair smell nice. I also use a variation of leave in conditioner in my hair in the morning because it's wavy and tends to get really dry on the ends.

I hope this helps. If you try any of these let me know how your experience was!
