How to Make Your Favorite Scents Last Longer This Summer

If your perfume sprays and perfumes seem to fade faster in the heat, you’re not imagining things! Warmer weather makes scents evaporate more quickly, especially with all the sun, sweat, and skin exposure that comes with summer living.

But don’t worry—your signature Sweetie’s scent can absolutely last all day with a few easy tricks. Here's how to layer, prep, and lock in your fragrance so you smell amazing from sunrise to sunset.

"The right scent lingers long after the moment fades."
(And with the right steps, yours will too.)

✨ 1. Layer Scents for Staying Power

Fragrance layering starts with body care. Clean, moisturized skin helps hold scent longer. After showering, use a body cream or body oil in the same scent family as your perfume spray to build a long-lasting base.

Try:

Seaflower Whipped Cream Body Wash – soft and nostalgic

Seaflower Body Cream – fresh and hydrating

Seaflower Luxe Perfume Spray – floral and oceanic

✨ 2. Apply to Pulse Points (and Don’t Rub!)

Spritz your perfume spray on warm pulse points—like wrists, inner elbows, and the base of your neck—where body heat activates the scent. Let it air dry naturally. Rubbing breaks down the fragrance faster.

Bonus tip: A little on your hairbrush or behind your knees goes a long way!

✨ 3. Reapply with Intention

On hot, humid days, it’s okay to reapply—but less is more. Stick to lighter mists or a dab behind your ear, especially if you're heading indoors where scents last longer.

Pro tip: Keep a travel-size perfume spray in your bag for a quick afternoon refresh!

💛 Your Summer Scent Wardrobe

The best part about fragrance is how it makes you feel. Whether you want to feel bright and citrusy, soft and floral, or grounded and breezy—your scent sets the tone.

At Sweetie’s Nature Shop, we believe scent should linger, uplift, and comfort—all season long.
