1. The foundation: real cleansing
Body odor comes from bacteria, not sweat itself. If you don't clean certain areas properly (armpits, chest, back... bum), that's where the problem starts. This is where a good-smelling soap that truly leaves your skin clean makes all the difference.
2. Hydration = duration
Few people talk about this. Hydrated skin retains perfume better. Dry skin evaporates it faster, leaving your perfume with nothing to cling to.
3. Where to apply the perfume
Forget about spraying randomly and instead select 3-5 key points: sides of the neck, behind the ears, wrists, chest, and that's it. Always remember this: areas with higher body heat = better projection of your perfume
4. How to apply it
Don't rub it on your wrists, and don't apply it to your wet body after showering. Always keep it at a distance from your body or the area you're applying it to, and that's it.
5. The trick that almost nobody uses: layering
Here's the next level. If you combine products with the same scent (gel + perfume), the fragrance lasts longer, is more consistent, and feels more "natural." That's why every brand eventually releases a soap version of their perfume, haha.
