Tips to Prolong Your Fragrance by Arca Fragrance
Here’s how to ensure your signature scent stays with you all day:
1. Start with a Moisturized Base
Dry skin doesn’t hold fragrance as well as hydrated skin. After showering, apply an unscented moisturizer or body oil to lock in moisture. A well-moisturized base gives the fragrance molecules something to adhere to, making them last longer.
2. Layer Your Fragrance
Fragrance layering is a powerful technique. Begin with a scented body wash or lotion in a matching scent profile. Apply Arca’s solid perfume to your pulse points, then finish with a light spritz of the corresponding Ittar Stick Bottle. This creates a depth of scent that lasts for hours.
3. Apply Strategically
Fragrance performs best when applied to warm areas of the body. Dab or roll the perfume onto your pulse points:
- Wrists
- Behind the ears
- Collarbone
- Inner elbows
For an extra boost, apply a small amount to your hair (using alcohol-free fragrances like Arca’s Ittar to avoid drying) or on your clothing.
4. Avoid Rubbing Your Wrists
Many people mistakenly rub their wrists together after applying perfume. This generates friction, breaking down the scent molecules and altering the fragrance’s intended profile. Instead, let it air dry naturally.
5. Store Your Perfumes Properly
Heat, light, and air are the enemies of fragrance. Keep your perfumes in their original packaging or a cool, dark place, such as a drawer. Arca’s elegant wooden boxes not only protect your perfume but also add a touch of sophistication to your collection.
6. Reapply When Needed
Even the longest-lasting fragrances may need a touch-up after several hours. Arca’s travel-friendly solid perfumes are perfect for on-the-go reapplication, ensuring your scent remains fresh throughout the day.
Why Arca Fragrances Last Longer
At Arca, we design our fragrances with longevity in mind. Our solid perfumes and Ittar Stick Bottles are crafted using premium ingredients, such as natural oils, oud, and sandalwood, which have excellent staying power. The slow evaporation of these high-quality materials ensures that the scent evolves beautifully over time, from top to base notes.
Understanding Fragrance Notes
To fully appreciate the science of longevity, it’s helpful to understand how perfumes are structured:
- Top Notes: The initial burst of fragrance (e.g., citrus, fresh florals). These evaporate quickly within the first 15-30 minutes.
- Middle Notes: The heart of the fragrance, which develops after the top notes fade. These typically last 2-4 hours.
- Base Notes: The foundation of the scent, often rich and woody. Ingredients like oud, musk, and sandalwood can linger for 6-10 hours or more.
Arca’s fragrances, like Dark Oud or Royal Elegance, emphasize robust base notes, ensuring a captivating scent that remains with you throughout the day.
A Final Note on Scent and Identity
