Here’s how you can enhance the tips:

2. Focus on Pulse Points: Apply perfume to your wrists, neck, and behind your ears. These areas emit heat, which helps diffuse the scent and makes it more noticeable.
3. Moisturize First: Perfume lasts longer on hydrated skin, so don’t skip your moisturizer. Opt for an unscented or matching scent moisturizer to avoid clashing fragrances.
4. Carry a Travel Spray: Refresh your scent throughout the day to maintain the comforting winter scents that define your seasonal fragrance experience. A small, compact spray is perfect for on-the-go touch-ups to maintain your signature scent.
