As long as it has the same notes or you think it compliments each other, I mostly layer with Bath and Body cream and spray as a base. Then I add Juliette has a Gun. Then, around 20m later, I add my fragrance of the day. It intensify and makes my fragrances perform like i need it to. I do that to my whole body, hair and clothing.
If I want just the original smell of the fragrance with no other layered scents, I moisturize with Eucerin fragrance free lotion &/ Neutrogena Fragrance Free body oil.
Most ppl tend to take hot water showers which does dry out skin and hair. I find cold water makes my body work harder to heat up from the inside so it pushes my fragrance more.
This is probably why my fragrances haven’t been projecting lately, I took cold showers during the summer, then switched to hot showers during the fall/winter. My body seemed to “heat up from the inside” (according to Ayurveda/Chinese Medicine, cold showers/baths will allow Yang/Agni to flow outwards, which improves core body temperature and strengthens microcirculation) which improved projection, and improved circulation in extremities as well. Do you still take cold showers during the winter?
@@RobertLaTuso i do enjoy my hot showers too just allow ur body temp to level before applying. I like to finish off with cold water for 30 sec to a min, starting from the halfway mark working up colder.
You’re sooo right!! I always thought you needed freshly washed skin to make your fragrances last but lately it hasn’t been working BUT , like you, I always moisturize after I shower. The very next morning if I don’t have time to shower again, when I apply my fragrances it does last much longer on my “not freshly washed clean skin.” I always thought it was bc of my body heat.
Oh wow you're reading my mind !!I just came on to look for this subject !!Thank you Sebastian!
Rather than just sweat, it may be the natural skin barrier also called sebum barrier or acid mantel that enhances the fragrance. After a shower, this thin "surface level" is removed and is rebuilt during the following hour or so...
Thank you for the tip on extending the life and intensify my perfume.
Great advice! Yes - I have only recently been playing around with lotion and fragrance layering combos and I have asked myself, "Why did you wait so long to do this?!?!" It has been so fun! Its like opening up new level on a game - LOL! It can tweak the scent, enhance it and make it last a LOT longer! I've always used lotion and moisturized my skin (which makes fragrance last longer anyway) but it used to be only lightly scented lotions...I mean - buying lotions with strong fragrances themselves (bath and body works, victoria secret etc.) and then pairing them with perfumes...It has been a game changer! xoxo
You can also use Vaseline on your pulse points/skin before spraying and that can help extend the life of your fragrance.
Also oily fragrances are very good for lasting in my experience. Sometimes they don’t project as much as more alcohol-based ones but they certainly last for ages!
Heeyyy!! Been watching your videos almost everyday and I learn something new all the time. Thank you Sebastian 😊
My pleasure!!
@@ThePerfumeGuy When the student is ready the teacher appears
I agree with everything you said! I always lotion up after shower and it always works
Great tips!
THANKS FOR THIS. Extremely helpful and Interesting 👌👍👍
Dear Sebastian, Great video and great tips. Thanks a million
Glad it was helpful!
I find Molecule 01 + patchouli to be such a great scent on its own (one of my signature scents) but I do layer it with Jovoy Psychedelique all the time and it works.
Great advice! I do like moisturizing to make my fragrances last longer.
Great video 😍
Thanks for the tips.
Yes fragrance free lotion is a good way to make your fragrance last longer for my real beautiful fragrences I sometimes put a few sprays into a alkaline water spray bottle then iron into my clothes works beast mode 💪 for me allso into comb or brush threw your hair works well going to try the molecules layering soon. Thank you for the tips 😊
I use CeraVe unscented body lotion or Neutrogena unscented body oil before spraying.
I've found that Vaseline works better than lotion. I always apply Vaseline to pulse points, then Molecule 01 or 02 first if my fragrance needs a boost.
I want everyone from outer space to smell my fragrance 🙌😉 Great tips and tricks, thank you for sharing your thoughts 👌
The same 🤣
I have (very) dry skin and showering at night, applying in the morning definitely works best for me
Other than Molecule fragrances and Not a Perfume, I also like DS Durga enhancers. My favorite is Crystal Pistal when I want to amplify floral aspect in a fragrance ❤
Cremo Bourbon and Vanilla body wash, cereve unscented lotion, Cremo styling clay, Azzaro Wanted by Night where I put the lotion, and also in my hair. Seems to be working really well.
Also working from home since 1993! I have very little issues with the way my fragrances perform, there are few that doesn't last more than 5 hours, but I just apply more sprays and on my clothes and I'm ok, my skin is fairly normal so I don't know if that contributes to how fragrances perform on me. Yes I have experienced different performance on some fragrances that people say they last forever, but nothing extreme. Good info, thank you Sebastian!!!
I forgot to mention I also go to my perfume studio but it's almost my home! :)
Great tips 👌
Having dry skin myself, I have always done head to toe body lotion. For my hair I use a natural boar bristle brush which I spray with POAL. I have noticed that Citrus fragrances, despite the lotion, never seem to last on me.
Yes, Sebastián, ALWAYS moisturize first. I don't apply my fragrance until I have used an unscented moisturizing lotion. I have 3 fragrances I rotate. Thanks for educating us! 😊 I have to say, I have tried "Not a Perfume Extrait," and absolutely can't stand it! I literally smelled it for 3 days! Even after showering. The regular is amazing! I layer it with my 3 fragrances. I want to turn heads!
These are helpful Valvoline is really good as well and a cheap alternative to make fragrances last
A fragrance was a beast mode on me. I sprayed it on the hubby and his dry skin swallowed the scent. It became moderate! Amazing what chemistry does!
Great tips. I do use lotion as I have very dry skin and in winter it gets even drier. So even though I wear intense scents in winter since my skin gets drier I have to apply more lotion. So thanks for this video.
Good tips❤Every black girl and boy uses lotion,shea butter or some sort of oil after bathing. It diffidently makes your fragrances last longer😍🥰
Hello!! Loved the tips in this video! I use body lotion and then apply perfume and I also spray it on clothes when possible! 👍🏼 thank you!!
You're welcome!! :)
I have some friends that are let’s say spicy dancers lol and they always layer lotion with fragrance more lotion and another spray of fragrance to top it off so it’s layers and layers. I haven’t tried with my more complex fragrances but it makes freshies or woody florals last a little longer and even project a bit more in my experience
The Primer is a very good idea and new to me coz I don’t like to apply body lotion and mix between the scents of the perfume
Showering at night is a good idea because your bed sheets will stay clean longer and smell clean. Your bed sheets will thank you!!!
I've also notice that the location where the fragrance is made influences the longevity. I noticed that fragrances made in USA and Spain do not last. The second and very well made are from France or Switzerland. But the ones that have a very good longevity and sillage are from the Middle East
I always moisturize slightly moist skin and usually use a body oil too. Scented or unscented. The scented products match the scent or are treatment products that don’t have a scent that lingers. I am currently using a bergamot scented deodorant and that seems to work with everything but I have a few designer deodorants or deo/antiperspirants that have complimentary scents. I don’t usually scent my clothes because scents last forever on fabric. I don’t use primers. I reapply or use a different scent if my first fragrance disappears.
Ooh body oils are next!! I like them now I hated them before of their oiliness!!
I use Arabic perfume oils and attars and layer what I'm wearing on top of that. I no longer use shaving gel or soap to shave I use oil onto my skin followed by aloe vera gel. I get very good projection.
I apply Molinard’s patchouli before any scent. It will boost any fragrance and give to them more depth
Speayin on hair really helps, but unfortunately it can damage hair. And not all perfumes got their hair mists.
About layering, recentle I started layering Nishane "Ani" with " Fan your Flames", and it smells fantastic💖
I have to moisturizer my skin after my shower/baths I have dry skin as well, but I fine after applying body oils/lotions my fragrances last much longer!
I also always spray my clothes which doesn’t offend anyone around you, but during the day all off a sudden I will get a waft off a beautiful fragrance and then realize it is me I am smelling.
I would add : use a shower gel that will not be agressive towards your skin. I live in France and almost only use what you call « french pharmacy », so for me a « huile lavante » (oil cleanser). My favorite is Topialyse from SVR and I also have in the same range my body cream.
But first, please, don’t be agressive towards your skin when you wash it!!! 🙏🏼
I am a Topyalise huile lavante fans as well. Can't go back to any other shower gel!!! It keeps your natural oil and adds a thin layer as well, so your skin is ready to make your fragrance bounce!
@@lovepilie Exactly, it’s a fantastic product with a very light but great scent that doesn’t stay at all on the skin. I also can’t use anything else since I’ve known Topyalise ☺️
@@mrscluedo7597 If you know you know ;)
@@lovepilie 😉
Wow I’m going to order that and try!
I buy ISO E super from a UK website -just a simple bottle that is the same as Molecules 01 for a fraction of the price!
Then I also use AMBROXAN on top of the perfume ( make a sandwich with ISO E SUPER -dry- PERFUME-dry -AMBROXAN) 🎉 could be found on eBay or Amazon here in Uk
Hi Sebastian, could you do a video about which types of scent (sweet, fresh,..) Molecule 01 or Molecule 02 is better suited for layering with? I think that would be really helpful 😊
01
@@Chris-de2qc Is it better than 02 for both sweet and fresh scents?
@@VincentttttttttttI want to know as well!!!!!!
Jojoba oil (similar to natural sebum) in the shower and drinking water works best for me.
I think it's a good idea to use shower gels which moisturize the skin because showering makes skin dry.
Good god. The strongest fragrance that I own and it is an EDP is Gaultier Squared. It is so potent I can smell that scent on me for eons. It is unisex but unfortunately it comes off as almost sickly sweet borderline cloying to the point where I honestly wonder if it is more suitable for a woman. But it is nuts how long it lasts on me and I do like it!
By the way, should the skin lotion you put on ahead of the fragrance be oil-free, or does it need to have oil in it to work? I have an oil-free skin lotion and I find that fragrance dies on it.
I think you’re referring to the body’s natural oils called SEBUM which is produced by your sebaceous glands. The hotter your shower and more abrasive your soaps are, the greater degree of stripping those natural oils from your skin.
I also have dry skin and many fragrances disappear on me. I’ve tried everything you mentioned including the use of base perfumes like Not a Perfume Overdose, etc. If I remember to use all of the different strategies I can get good performance.
Great!!
if you have dry skin, you should be using lotion. aveeno especially has great body lotions and creams that wont aggrevate the skin and excellent for dry skin condition, plus unfragranced which helps a lot.
Try glycerin I use it immediately afrter shower because I really hard dryer skin..it has really helped my skin stay moist and every soft. I mean baby softness
@@lynnemaremana6618 Great idea. Thanks 🙏
@@extraordinary_scents6806 You are welcome. And if you find it took heavy because its very thick,try mix it' with Rose water.
Pure Rose water.
I saw difference within 3 days,
Success in using it.
Some fragrances just don’t last and that’s ok, but if I want to make them last longer, I usually apply unscented lotion as well
I use vaseline which I melt then add 15 to 20 spray in the melted vaseline put it a small container mix it with stir stick let harden then before you spray your colognes on put some of the scented vaseline on then spray your colognes and mine last 12 to 14 hour and some colognes even longer plus spray on my clothes also. It works for me just saying
Great video. People, the most important part is to SHOWER everyday!
Perfumes best friend is oil. The oil in your skin or the oil you put on before spraying. I used light coconut oil or árgan.
Excellent tips and tricks Sebastian. Keep up the work!
More to come!
I apply to face masks which gives a couple of days off scent. Use bk scents for how to make fragrences.
I still wish UA-cam would let you post gifs. I want to post Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs. 😛
I’ve been putting on cerave lotion after showering, then applying fragrance just like Sebastian and most of the comments mention. However, I watched a Roja Dove video on UA-cam who said to put the perfume on first, then lotion. Basically, locking it in. Now I’m confused. Any thoughts on that idea?
I’m curious about that, too. I’d be worried about “bruising” the fragrance.
Thanks 😇
You're welcome.
Lotion should be applied while your skin is still a bit damp to lock in the moisture and hydration.
Which primer/ booster would you use for citrus scents? Has anybody tried Nefertum parfum Xponential Day Boost?
I've got 3AM, I really like the smell. But the longevity is mediocre. What would you recommend. Molecule 01. Or + mandarin? Or Iris?
I ordered 100ml of Ambroxan EDP from the UK at $25 dollars.
I will mix 2ml into my 10 ml decant spray bottles.
Ambroxan is the only fixative that helps with longevity.
ISO E Super helps with projection.
And Javanol, I have read that it is extremely overpowering.
The people have spoken. They want it to last longer 💯🔥
what about Vaseline, do you use Vaseline, is Vaseline a good option?
A little (just a tinny dab) of Vaseline on the neck, and apply the cologne after extends the longevity of the fragrance.
Should work!
use perfume oil then spray some other perfume on top. i use alharamain perfume oil (theyre cheap) and spray guerlain edcs (du coq, imperial etc) and the edcs will last longer. try it!
First put youre perfume and after that must aply the body oil .roja dove stile.
Buy small decants bottles from Amazon etc and carry it in your man bag or small pocket of your trousers.
Ha yes!!
I use unscented shower gel, and apply unscented body lotion before the perfume. Also spraying the perfume onto parts of my body - arms, neck, hair - that won’t make me anosmic, but rather smell it again and again during the day. Spraying the clothes do make it last longer, I’m just not a big fan of it …
Would Molecule 01 work?
I bought it to layer with some of your perfume suggestions.. Avignon, Baccarat 540 and Bois d' Ambrette 😊
Yes absolutely. I would use it.
@@ThePerfumeGuy 👊🏻😉
Great tips but Everyone should be lotioning their skin after showering everyday skipping that is alien to me
The more you lotion it, the more your skin will need more. It‘s not weird or a problem to skip it a few times a week, unless you have extremely dry skin.
The keywords are lotioning, showering and everyday
Yes if you have dry skin or if you use harsh soaps like bar soap. Some people have the opposite problem with excessively oily skin. All depends on what part of the world you live in, genetics, and hydration.
@@Princeagyeman no, there is only one keyword, which is showering (and often is enough to use mild gels under armpits and intim parts, then usually lotioning is not necessary. Also, the more perfumated stuff you use, people are prone to more skincare issues, allergies…). Of course there are some exceptions, who need it, but it‘s rather the minority. E.g. my husband never ever uses body lotion
@@agnesmeszaros-matwiejuk8783 he should start maybe its a culture thing to not wear lotion and im not talking about the heavily chemicaled lotions you need organic shea butter coco butter etc
I’m totally anosmic to molecule 01 but I hate 02. I don’t think it’s “light” at all. I helped someone at the gym the other day and I could tell he had an ambroxan based fragrance on and I could barely breathe as I was standing next to him. It has a muskiness and pungency that I don’t think works well as a main note. Maybe…maybe it could be used in very small quantities and have a pleasant effect but as it’s used, I’m not a fan. In fact I think the entire molecule line smells like bug spray. Molecule 05 smells like corn silk to me. I don’t want to smell like corn.
Has anyone tried adding vodka? For example, a small portion in a travel atomiser, and the rest is your favourite perfume?
It’s just a thought, but maybe it could help the rate of evaporation slow down, and act like a ‘fixer’ so the scent hangs around longer.
alcohol on top of fragrance that's already 80% alcohol?
Shower,Lotion, and Vaseline works for me.
I am wearing Initio Magnetic Blend (another perfume extender/amplifier) today with Floraïku Sleeping on the Roof, which has horrible longevity. Both are samples. Magnetic Blend definitely works to extend it but it’s so dang expensive for a just a synthetic musk. May have to look into the Molecules next. To increase longevity in general, I only spray the back of my forearm and my hair. Anywhere else a scent quickly fades away.
Oh yes I featured those Magnetic Blends in a previous video with a similar theme in the past! :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy Good to know! I will go watch it now. Thanks!
You can find magnetic blend pretty discounted, I got mine from Saks off fifth for $125
Great tips.
I must say though, I have a different experience when I spray fragrance straight out of the shower. Fragrances do last on me that way. I don't have dry skin, so that may be a factor.
Weird. Do you have dry skin?
@@ThePerfumeGuy no. I have normal skin.
That makes sense then. This might be an issue with dry skin! 😀
Thankyou
1. Drink water
2. Fragrance free lotion
3. aveeno eczema therapy lotion on spots you apply your fragrance
If you have dry skin don't primer your skin with a fragrance. The more alcohol you apply to the skin the dryer your skin will get and will kill performance long term.
agreed. dry skin should always look to lotion especially aveeno's skin relief or ezcema therapy, amaizng products. I agree.
Besides simply spraying more, spraying my clothing is the only other technique that works for me. That's why every bottle I own has its own dedicated decant atomizer. In the morning it's "1 for me, 2 for you, 1 for me, 2 for you..." 😂 And into the pocket the atomizer goes. But the after-the-shower effect could probably be explained by the lack of an epidermal hydrophobic layer, as well as larger pores and a greater infrared signature (due to that scrubbed-off layer). Makes sense to me. And yeah, don't spray those pulse points. 😄
Try cycle 001 with Diptyque’s Orphéon 🤫
I like Cycle 001 but I don't like promoting it as it's completely sold out sadly. But I can see that mix working so well together!!
I feel ick if I don’t shower every morning, don’t feel as clean if I shower the night before. I use a non scented shea body cream, then I put on my fragrance.
Me too! I’m a morning showerer!! 🧼🧼🧼
Another way to compliment the fragrance... Ex. Bourbon body wash, bourbon deodorant, then apply the bourbon scented cologne.
Does Carbon by Aaron T Hughes work for boosting the projection of fragrances and their longevity? It's advertised to fix weaker fragrances
I haven't tried any ATH scents so sadly can't tell! :(
@@ThePerfumeGuy hi Sebastian ATH is a must try, highly recommend ❤
Thx
Tom Ford Lost cherry last 10 hrs on me, but everyone else complains about performance. If I put it on my clothes it's nuclear. It always shocks me that people complain about its performance.
Target brand Up & Up "Advanced Repair unscented body lotion" is like $2.19 for a huge bottle. No scent
Perfect!! I'll check it out.
Lotions and spraying my hair.
dior elixir and bentley intense imo..this 2 perfumes still there evn after shower..
Hi Sebastian, we need to discuss this tips with a perfumers,, can you plz,, that's will be a good idea if you like it,, thank you 👋
I LOVE all my guerlain perfumes, but lord they do not last at all. I would bathe myself in angelique noire all day if I can
I care more about scent than performance and i'm not a collector. Just a guy starting to buy scents so i only have 6 and like 7 or 8 decant's and samples to test. Thus, i don't exactly have everything so when people say it's long lasting on them, normally i don't have it. I'm also proudly a crowd pleasing scent lover. I'm not big on the "harder to wear" niche stuff. So some popular fragrance scene scents i just wouldn't wear so i wouldn't know the performance.
Heck yes that's the spirit!!
Has anyone tried shea butter first?
I just buy a big bag of travel atomisers & take my fragrances with me. Lotions & primers just don't work on my skin.
Thanks for sharing!!
PLEASE SHOWER IN THE MORNING
I too have dry skin, Sebastian. I make my fragrances last longer by making my own fragrances. I became so disappointed by weak designer, clone and even some niche fragrances that I began to order perfumer's absolutes. oils and synthetic aromatics. I've always had a reliable intuition as to what will work with what when I am cooking or baking and I am happy that this seems to translate into fragrance as well. So far I have produced 3 fragrances that IMO are as good or better than anything in my collection. For "Earth", "Forest" and "Ketoret" (biblical incense replication) I use mostly natural distillations with just a couple synthetic aroma chemicals. The concentration of oils, absolutes, etc to alcohol is nearly 50/50. The first time I wore my own fragrance "Earth", a female police officer that was walking by stopped me to ask what I was wearing. She said it was amazing and that I should market it.
Congratulations Curt 👍. I'm thinking of trying it too....
