how to make your perfume last the whole day for your wedding
Even if you already have a signature scent, we always recommend that brides select a special perfume just for their wedding day. Why? Scent is the strongest sense tied to memory, wearing something unique on your wedding day will make your memory of that day even stronger. Then, after the big day has come and gone, you can pull it out for anniversaries, vacations, or when your relationship just needs a little reminder of the day you said, “I do”. And before you panic about having to drop a couple hundred more on a new perfume, we’ll let you in on a little secret. Have you heard of Perfame? They’re a perfumery that specializes in replicating your favorite designer scents and at $49.00 per bottle they’re a fraction of the price!
What sets perfame apart from other duplicate perfume brands?
Perfame is all about creating quality scents that last. They infuse their perfumes with a higher concentration of oils which results in a fragrance that lasts all throughout the day. On a big day, like your wedding, that’s exactly what you want. With so much going on, who knows when you’ll be able to refresh your scent throughout the day? You need a reliable perfume like this that will make sure you’re smelling like a dream from day to night. Each bottle of perfume is hand-crafted in Los Angeles with only the best ingredients sourced from Switzerland, so you can be sure you’re getting a quality product.
get the most out of your wedding day fragrance
Having a great perfume helps, but there are a few more tips and tricks that we can share to help you get the most out of your wedding-day fragrance.
1. apply to hydrated skin
Perfume lasts longer when it’s applied to hydrated skin. So, before you spritz on your favorite scent, make sure to moisturize. To take it one step further, you can apply a little Vaseline to your pulse points, see the next step to find out why…
2. apply to pulse points
You’ve probably heard that perfume smells different on everyone. We all emit our own pheromones naturally, so when the perfume combines with those scents it creates something truly unique that’s all your own. Your pulse points (wrists, inner elbows, neck, and back of the knees) are the warmest parts of your body. They essentially function as diffusers for your natural scent, and when paired with the right perfume–pure magic!
3. apply generously
When applying, spray once at every pulse point to start. Then, mist clothing and soft accessories, like your dress and veil. And, don’t forget your lingerie! Keep your perfume handy on the big day to apply once to your hair after you’re finished getting glam.
4. get a travel bottle
Keep a little travel-size bottle on hand in your clutch for touch-ups, especially after the dancing gets started. Fill up one of these little travel bottles with your favorite scent and you can take it with you anywhere!
Now, all that’s left is to find your perfect scent. Don’t know where to start?
Here are a few of our favorite scents:
Perfame Elixir No. 29
Inspired by the perfume that broke the internet a few years back, Baccarat Rouge 540, this scent is opulence in a bottle. It starts with notes of saffron and jasmine but it's a woodsy scent at its core with echos of fir and cedar.
Perfame Elixir No. 23
Inspired by Delina by Parfums de Marly, this fragrance is the epitome of feminine mystique. Let’s just say, with this one you’re sure to have a lot of fun on your wedding night, but you may not get much sleep. An alluring blend of fruits and spices, and a deep velvety finish, this perfume will keep them coming back for more.
Perfame Elixir No. 13
Inspired by Aventus for Her by Creed, this is an addictive fruity fragrance. Green apple and rich bergamot, with notes of black currant, peach, amber, and a musky base, this perfume evolves throughout the day. If you like to keep them guessing, this is the one for you.
Perfame Elixir No. 11
Inspired by Baraonada by Nasomatto, this contrasting unisex fragrance is a blend of two worlds. First, you’re greeted by the intoxicating scent of fine liquor, a fruit center emerges, and then it finishes with a deep woodsy feel.
don’t forget your man
Perfame isn’t just for women, they have scents for men too. They also have a great selection of unisex fragrances. So surprise your groom with a scent of his own as a present on the big day. You can even ask your calligrapher to add a monogram to the bottle or a special message. Too cute!
they make great gifts
Speaking of gifts, you’re probably looking for something to say thank you to your parents, MOH, and best man, etc. Perfame scents make great gifts! While scents can be difficult to pick out for other people, you can’t go wrong with a crowd pleaser like Perfame Elixir No. 55 (Inspired by Coco Mademoiselle By Chanel) for the women, and Perfame Elixir No. 75 (Inspired by Eau Sauvage By Dior) for the men.
