Perfume professor Emelia on mixing fragrance oil with unscented lotion to make it last all day

A self-proclaimed “perfume professor” has revealed an easy way to make your fragrances last all day.

Fragrance expert Emelia said she should mix perfume oil with unscented body lotion before applying to the skin to make any scent linger for hours.

The perfume guru shared a few more tips to keep smelling divine, including kneading perfume into your hair and waiting for the alcohol to dissolve before rubbing the scent on your skin.

“POV: You mixed perfume oil with an unscented body cream for the first time and it made your perfume last much longer,” Emelia wrote on Instagram video of her attempting the hack.

She used a small dollop of the cream on her palm and poured a few drops of perfume oil on top and mixed them by rubbing her hands together before applying it to her skin.

Emelia’s tip can also work for perfume sprays, but she recommended waiting for the alcohol to wear off before slathering it on your skin.

“If you don’t have a matching perfume oil, you can also spray your perfume in your hand and mix that with your unscented cream,” she said.

“Just wait for the alcohol to run off your palm and make sure you use SPF when you go out in the sun.”

Emilia reminded viewers not to apply perfume to their face and to make sure the skin is moisturized before applying any fragrance.

“You can also put some perfume oil in your palms and scrunch it into your hair! This will really help your scent trail linger,” she added.

The perfume professional’s clip was viewed more than 41,200 times, so many people in the comments were thankful for the helpful tip.

“Got to try,” one said while another wrote, “I’m running to try this now.”

“Always but I do this with essential oils,” added a third.

However, some followers were confused by Emelia’s advice, as many experts have warned against rubbing perfume into the skin, as many do on their wrists.

That is what the award-winning French-Armenian perfumer Francis Kurkdjian said Fashion rubbing perfume between your wrists is “very bad” because it “warms up the skin, which produces natural enzymes that alter the course of the scent.”

However, Emelia assured her skeptics that the rule doesn’t apply to perfume oils and making sure the alcohol dissolves before rubbing a spray on your skin won’t affect the scent.

One woman suggested spraying perfume on the skin after applying unscented body cream so you don’t have to mix the two in your hand and Emelia replied that she suggested both.

‘Perfume oil has a thicker consistency and gives the spray a little extra hold. It will also enhance your scent cloud,’ she replied.

This isn’t the first time Emelia has impressed with a nifty perfume hack.

Previously, she revealed why you should never keep your fragrances in the bathroom and where to store them instead so they last “years and years.”

Emelia said that “constant temperature fluctuations” in the bathroom will “spoil” any perfumes stored there more quickly.

Earlier, Emelia revealed that you should never store your fragrances in the bathroom, but that you should store them in a cool, dry, dark place, like a bedroom drawer, so that they last “years and years”

She also warned against keeping them on a windowsill, saying the best place to store perfumes is a “cool, dry, dark place.”

“I noticed that nobody on TikTok and Pinterest knows the right way to store perfume,” she said in an online clamp after showing a series of images of fragrance bottles on a bathroom bench.

“If you looked at this photo and you had a visceral reaction to seeing perfume on the bathroom counter, you were right.”

Emelia said steam from the shower and constant temperature fluctuations in the bathroom will spoil perfume faster than if they were stored correctly.

“Now you’re like, okay, I’ll take them out of my bathroom and I’ll put them on my dresser or my windowsill — don’t do that either,” she said.

Store your fragrances in a cool, dry, dark place. I always recommend your closet or a chest of drawers.”

Emelia added that some people keep their perfumes in the fridge, but they “don’t have to go that far.”

“If you store them properly, they’ll last for years and years,” she said, adding the phrase, “Tell me, hide them to make them last.”

Beauty enthusiasts were impressed by the little-known information.

“WOAH didn’t know this. So eau de toilette doesn’t come close to the toilet!’ joked one viewer.

‘Facts. I still have a high school smell that’s still strong,’ agreed for a second.

“The walk of shame I just did to my bathroom. They’re going into the hall closet,’ another replied.

But not everyone was convinced and wanted to exhibit their ‘beautiful’ perfume bottles.

“Nahhhh I don’t buy nice and expensive bottles not to put them on display,” one woman wrote.

“I’ll forget if I hide it,” commented another.
