Tips to Smell Like Vanilla All Day
Layering Your Fragrances
To keep your vanilla scent long-lasting, we suggest following a technique called layering. Start with a complementary vanilla-scented body lotion and pair it with matching or similarly scented perfume from our Cherry Vanilla Perfume collection. Combining the two helps create a persistent fragrance that'll keep you smelling like delicious vanilla throughout the day.
Choosing the Right Concentration
Fragrance concentrations play a significant role in how long they last. The higher the concentration, the longer the staying power. It's essential to strike a balance, though – you don't want a scent that's overpowering, particularly when dealing with such a delicate yet tenacious note as vanilla. For an ideal balance of strength and subtlety, consider trying eau de parfums or perfume oils from our Cetalox Perfume line.
Fragrance Routine
Getting the most out of your vanilla scent requires dedication to your fragrance routine. Make sure to spritz your perfume on fragrance hotspots, such as your wrists, the crooks of your elbows, behind the knees, and around your neck for optimal diffusion. Furthermore, using matching scented hair products or body mists can enhance your vanilla aura, making you smell enticing all day long.
Seductive Scents and Their Effect on Men
What Smells Turn Guys On
Besides the beloved vanilla scent, several other fragrances have worked their magic on men. For instance, honeysuckle, bergamot, and coriander are known for their fetching appeal. Boost your perfume collection with these attractive scents by exploring our floral and oriental perfume selections.
