In my personal experience: Get a scented lotion with a similar or somewhat of a neutral lotion(I use stuff from bath and bodyworks.Istg they work) Applying the lotion on your arms and neck. (Do this even if you’re wearing a long sleeve shirt or tee.) And then let it dry a bit and apply Vaseline in pulse points Then apply your fragrance Works to well for me. My Burberry weekend went from 6 hours to 12 hours from doing this with the added scent of the lotion aswell.
What sets you apart from other reviewers (in my eyes) is that you are concerned with other aspects of scents besides how they smell. Longevity is a huge aspect for me, so thanks a lot for the valuable tips.
@@prasetyoadinugroho2625 I think the biggest factor is IFRA and their regulation. They have banned some substances forcing manufacturers to reformulate their products rendering them unable to replicate what we, customers liked.
@@h2woah127 That may be the case, but additionally the fragrance I would like to last a little longer, Memoir by Gucci, is supposedly not very long lasting anyway. I’ll have to ask my s/o if he can catch the scent after a few hours.
Thanks so much for the educational aspects of your channel. I feel I learn something every time I watch, which is a wonderful thing. I have pretty oily skin so most fragrances last longer on me than on most people. However, now and then I ran across one that could use an extra boost. I find the double spray method works well for me, and again, I saw that on one of your more recent posts. My thanks again!
One of the best and probably the most innovative fragrance channel there is. Omar very good work, like always. You are versatile with your videos and help us solve a wide rage of problems. Really loving your videos. P.S. - I bought an atomizer and it really does make a big difference, without me having to worry about too many other things.
That oil is scented why would you ruin the scent of your perfume with another oil so no it’s not good. Mixing oils on top of oil ? Glycerin is best no another oil n
I actually find this is the best use case for clones. Most clones are made by middle eastern companies that by nature make their scents stronger but are missing the individual notes that higher end designer/niche fragrances have. To be expected. So if you have the real thing and performance is bad, I would buy the closest clone, and then spray that first and then spray the real version over it. Also for beginners, I think what clones are good for is determining what scent profiles (especially in dry down) that you really like and resonates with your nose and skin. Then once you do you can go and find the real designer/niche version that has the best example of that note and then you can spend your money wisely on that fragrance. The only clones that I think are really good on their own and you don't need to buy the real thing are the Armaf clones of Aventus/Millesime Imprerial/Silver Mountain Water/Green Irish Tweed. These are close enough to the real thing and the real Aventus fragrances are just way too overpriced. But for example, for PDM Leyton...I find spraying Detour Noir/Exclusif Bleu first and then spraying PDM Leyton real thing, gives you best of both worlds. You save some sprays of the real thing, while also getting the performance and you get the all of the nuanced top notes of the real thing that aren't present in the clones.
I believe spraying twice makes it last longer is also due to the fact that there is more there. Fragrances project through the cologne molecules evaporating on your skin, and this gaseous form travels into your nose and thus you can smell it. This is why there are certain important areas on the body to spray, such as where there is most heat, as this will allow more fragrance molecules to evaporate, and thus your nose can detect a larger amount of the scent. This is also why spraying on clothes can make it last longer, as there is no direct heat being put into the fragrance molecules, preventing the fragrance from evaporating as much as it would if you applied it to your hot skin (however, in return spraying on clothes may decrease the projection). A larger amount of any substance will make it more difficult for it to evaporate. Taking water for example, boiling a cup of water is easier than boiling a pot of water. Take a pot for example, when you heat up the water molecules, the molecules will move around and spread out the heat. Since there is a larger amount of water, it will take longer for the heat to spread to a point where all the water molecules are at boiling temperature than with just boiling a small amount of water in the cup. Applying this to cologne, since there has been more cologne applied, the heat your body will provide the fragrance molecules will be spread out more, meaning it will take longer for the fragrance molecules to reach the temperature needed to evaporate, meaning the fragrance molecules will stay on your skin longer. Your theory could also be correct, however, what I described will also definitely be occurring.
Just bought the molecule 01 / was wondering about the differences to layer with - SURPRISE that no one made a chart with all the molecule line ups and best combos most likely that they can blend in with....
I have one of those pump from the bottom atomisers. Fill it 1/3 Molecule 02 and 2/3 fragrance for extra longevity. Of course, it doesn't work with all frags though
3:40 "Spray Twice" A reason for that might be that the aldehydes in the parfume oxidize and that spraying another layer seals the oxidized layer- Therefore the first layer has to be fully oxidized and evaporated before the second layer comes out again -My theory
One of the rules that i have while purchasing a fragrance is if it's not performing i'm not buying !! even if it smells good Companies are really greedy nowadays, they raise the price, ruin the performance of once performing fragrances, SAD but informative video, thanks :)
Nice tips. Funny I have no problem with how long La Nuit de L'homme lasts. On the rare days I wear this to work, I apply one spray on back of my neck, one spray each on left and right die of my neck, one spray on each wrist. Can clearly smell it when I get home 10-11 hours after I applied it. Then I get to really enjoy it while I work out. Most of the time though, this is my after shower fragrance when I'm likely to stay in for the night.
Out of respect, I would like to tell you a fact. If you buy your own iso e,Ambrose, and perfume alcohol, add more than the already made junk, you WILL get at least 6 more hours. Just do it on your clothing. I give the bottles I make to a select few, and they are shocked to say the least.I use a 30% amount. Also, if the scent is weak after you spray, wait 15 minutes, apply again. I have Tons more advice, but I think I just wrote an essay.💯
I Hate Ambroxan! Firstly it gives totally western vibes to the perfume and it smells totally synthetic. Secondly why cheat to make the actual perfume smell different by hacking and pouring Ambroxan into it or layering with it! Its totally a different fragrance note which is not suitable for oriental and dark fragrances. I like the perfumes without Ambroxan. Its like putting red oil paint in tomato ketchup to make it look good.! Also it doesn't always help by spraying onto the clothes because some are not pure cotton, and also the perfumes like Ombre nomade which has loads of incense into it, reacts terribly when sprayed on clothes, the incense smells extremely sour and smokey which never dries down and the cloth tends to mess up with the drying process, which smells extremely cloying and pathetic. The only technique that helps is, multiple sprays on skin.
What about using baby oil? Would that help? I think it would be beneficial and educational if you made a video/review on the right and wrong ways to macerate a fragrance. Just saying!!
Guys you all were using Vaseline wrong! By the way... The best way to make a fragrance last longer is to apply 12 sprays of Dior Savauge Elixer on top of your other fragrance. You can also try Al haramain Amber oud tobacco edition if you are set on accidentally making people faint.
When I was inexperienced with fragrances, I once used one spray of Al haramain Amber Oud Gold on a bus and gave everyone onboard massive headaches. That was fun
Using that plain Vaseline from the tub hasn't made that much difference which is annoying as a lot of my niche perfumes are super expensive and my skin seems to eat them up. But I have found using the flavoured Vaseline tins you get in the UK such as the rose or aloe vera or cocoa ones seem to be more effective. I bought the Escentric Molecules too but unfortunately got the one with Mandarin so changes the scent profile of my perfumes. Luckily Escentric Molecules gave me a free sample of both 1 and 2 so will try using them as a primer.
i have oily leaning skin, does that usually give longer longevity then dry skin? i hear reviewers suggest 4/5 sprays for stuff but for some of these cheaper stuff that have weak performance, doesn’t seem to last very long at all, whereas if i spray like 12 sprays, seems to work good for awhile, can’t tell if it’s too much and my nose sucks
YSL LNDL... I get 2 hours max. Don’t care how insane a fragrance smells, if I am dropping a decent amount of my hard earned wonga on a bottle of smellage, I expect much, much better. YSL will not get me cash-money ever again; Chanel can have it instead lol.
Could you theoretically find a way to remove some of the water content out of the fragrance so that it becomes more concentrated oil? because water and alcohol will evaporate, but the oils will be left behind
@@NailujG that's not what i'm talking about, you cannot buy the oil for these popular designer and niche fragances. My suggestion is rather saying like decant some and leave it exposed to air for a period of time, try to evaporate some of that alcohol and water and make the oil more concentrated. I think the downside of this is how the air would effect the chemistry of the fragrance i'm not sure if that would work. And I know heating would probably speed up the evaporation process but heating any flammable liquid is always a terrible dangerous idea. So I won't suggest doing that way haha
The tip number 3 you got completely wrong. Alcohol from the fragrance destroys the moisturizer, so it negates the effect. Spraying the fragrance first then gently rubbing it (not producing heat which itself spreads and dissolves the alcohol and the fragrance from the skir into the air) over the spot you sprayed the fragrance is going to make a bigger difference. Try it out yourself, thank me later.
I can't get with this one...many influencers have encouraged this and while I believe it works who the hell wants to be gready all damn day especially right out the shower?? Lotion is good enough. If you have a weak projecting fragrance just overspray. If it turns into a skin scent after 2-3 hours take a decant to refresh.

Have you tried to mix Ambroxan and La Nuit in atomizer? How does is perform if you do?
Hello. The link for an atomizer doesn't direct to any specific one, rather all there is...
Yes! Tip 4! That's all i do and never have projection longevity problems with any fragrances lol
In my personal experience:
Get a scented lotion with a similar or somewhat of a neutral lotion(I use stuff from bath and bodyworks.Istg they work)
Applying the lotion on your arms and neck.
(Do this even if you’re wearing a long sleeve shirt or tee.)
And then let it dry a bit and apply Vaseline in pulse points
Then apply your fragrance
Works to well for me.

We like this type of videos keep up
How to make any weak fragrance perform? Don't buy them. Let the manufacturers know that they need to step up their game.
Well Said Sir!
I guess the manufacturers make them weak because so many people complained about the oldies fragrances that project like crazy in the past
@@prasetyoadinugroho2625 Which years do you have in mind when you say oldies ?
@@SzymonZat 80's and 90's. Most of the well-known fragrances were so long-lasting and projected heavily

Best way is to immediately stop buying shit fragrances, then companies will have to make them properly again.
Tbh overspraying is the key
Yessirr 👍🏽
Try jojoba oil which is closest oil to the skin chemistry. You're welcome!

3-Spray Twice
