This unexpected life hack requires just one thing and a little patience. For those who don’t have any time, they have found an even simpler method.
The woman showed how easy it is to prolong the effect of your favorite perfume without significant costs. The life hack video was published on the TikTok social network under the pseudonym Charla’s Cleaning Hacks.
What should we do?
To make the perfume aroma last longer, you should:
- Melt the Vaseline jar by placing it in hot water;
- pat dry and make sure the Vaseline turns into a jelly-like liquid;
- add the selected perfume to Vaseline;
- put a closed jar of already perfumed Vaseline in the refrigerator;
- Wait until the mass hardens again.
Charla promises that with these simple steps, the scent on your wrist or neck will last “all day long.”
“Thank you later,” he wrote.
There is an even easier way
The Guardian also tested a similar but simpler life hack. The idea is to apply Vaseline to your neck or wrist before spraying perfume on the area.
Journalist Anita Bhagwandas applied different forms of perfume to her wrists for two consecutive days, one with vaseline and the other without vaseline. She preferred a floral scent on the first day, and woody notes known for its longevity on the second day.
According to him, the difference was noticeable in the evening hours. The aroma of the perfume was more lasting when Vaseline was used, and this was confirmed by Anita’s friend. The author of the material emphasized that life hacks with Vaseline “undoubtedly work.”
What’s the secret?
As Anita explains, scents don’t last that long on dry skin. At the same time, perfumes contain alcohol, which dries it out.
Vaseline prolongs the drying process of the skin, so the scent lasts longer. It can also be replaced with unscented cream.
