But perhaps it’s time for new ways to wear our signature scents. Trying out new techniques to wear our favorite french perfume can bring out new aspects, make them last longer, or even lead us to fall for a new fragrance. So be adventurous, follow your nose, and try these tips.
PLAY WITH THESE NEW WAYS TO WEAR FRAGRANCE
Have fun with your fragrance with new ways to wear old favorites like Lancôme’s LA VIE EST BELLE, Lancôme IDÔLE, and more.
Wear perfume in your hair.
Not only is this a great beauty tip when you’ve skipped a wash, but hair actually holds fragrance very well. As you move, it will give off a bit of your scent, leaving a light trail behind wherever you go.Spray perfume on your stomach.
The skin on our stomach is warm, so it will radiate your fragrance upward while you wear it. As you move and air gently passes through your garments, your scent will be dispersed for yourself and others to enjoy.Perfume with body wash & lotion.
Switch these in for your usual eau de parfum or eau de toilette. Lancôme favorites like LA VIE EST BELLE BODY LOTION, our IDÔLE perfume, and more are fragrances available in perfumed body lotions. Others like TRÉSOR and TRÉSOR NUIT can be enjoyed as a perfumed shower gel as well.Try a new version of an existing fragrance.

MIX FRAGRANCES FOR AN EVEN BETTER SMELL
Experiment with layering and mixing scents to create surprising and original combinations you just might love. As a general rule, begin by layering scents that are in the same family, like floral perfume, rose perfume, vanilla perfume, and so on. Scents in the same family tend to pair well together so it’s a good to place to start. When you get more adventurous start with a vanilla perfume like Lancôme LA VIE EST BELLE, a woody scent like Lancôme IDÔLE, or a citrus fragrance like Ô DE LANCÔME. Vanilla, musk, and citrus scents work well for layering as they are regarded as “safe” notes. For an iconic mix, layer a vanilla perfume like LA VIE EST BELLE Eau de Parfum with a fresh rose perfume like IDÔLE Eau de Parfum. The result is delightful and daring.

HOW TO WEAR PERFUME TO MAKE IT LAST LONGER
How you wear your perfume can make a world of difference. For example, always spray your scent from six inches away to evenly distribute it. Then, get more mileage out of your favorite fragrances by following these tips for a long-lasting perfume.
Apply to clean & moisturized skin.
Apply your scent after cleansing and moisturizing. Hydrated skin better absorbs scent to keep it longer, while on dry skin it evaporates and fades fast.Apply to the right areas.
Any area on your body that radiates heat will enhance scent. So for longevity, privilege points where skin is warm, like your neck, behind the ears, the fold of your arms, or your stomach.Don’t rub.
This is a common mistake women make that can cause a fragrance to break down and evaporate more quickly. Once applied, you only need to let your perfume dry naturally.Reapply if needed.
Depending on how active you are, your scent can disappear more rapidly. If you find your fragrance fading too fast, consider reapplying every five hours on long days.Build your fragrance.
Start with a strong base by adding your Lancôme scent in matching perfumed body wash or perfumed body lotion to your routine. Then layer by spraying your usual perfume. LA VIE EST BELLE, IDÔLE, TRÉSOR, and more all offers shower gel and body lotion options.
