How to make fragrance long-lasting?

It is no rocket science to make your fragrance long-lasting. Apply your fragrance after a shower when your skin is clean and pores are open. Hydrated skin holds onto fragrance longer. Use a matching Bath & Body Works body lotion or cream before applying your fragrance. Spritz your fragrance on pulse points like your wrists, neck, inner elbows, and behind your knees. Start with a matching shower gel, then a body lotion, and finish with a fine fragrance mist or Eau De Parfum.

Carry a travel-size mist in your bag to reapply when you’re on the go. A quick spritz can bring your favourite scent back to life anytime, anywhere.

What type of fragrance is best for winter?

Look for fragrances with notes of vanilla, amber, musk and sandalwood for that perfect winter vibe. Bath & Body Works has an incredible collection of winter-perfect fragrances, including options with spicy cinnamon, creamy coconut, and woodsy undertones. If you love a sweet and festive twist, try scents with hints of caramel or frosted berries, they’re perfect for brightening cold, gloomy days.

Layer your favourite winter fragrance with a matching body lotion or body cream for a long-lasting scent that also keeps your skin hydrated during the dry winter months.

What is the difference between body mist and perfume?

Body mists are lighter, refreshing sprays designed for an all-over, everyday fragrance boost. They offer a subtle scent with a lower concentration of fragrance oils. Perfumes are more concentrated and luxurious, made for longer-lasting wear. With a higher fragrance oil concentration, they leave a rich and powerful impression, perfect for special occasions or when you want a statement scent.

Both come in your favourite Bath & Body Works scents, from fruity and floral to woodsy and warm, so whether you’re in the mood for something light or bold, there’s always a fragrance that fits your vibe.

How do you layer different kinds of fragrances?

Layering fragrances is a way to create a signature scent that’s uniquely yours, and it all begins with a clean base. After your shower, start by using a Bath & Body Works body wash. Follow up with a matching body lotion or cream, like the luxurious Japanese Cherry Blossom or Gingham, to lock in moisture.

You can layer fragrances from the same family or experiment by combining contrasting notes—for instance, pair citrusy Gingham with a fresh, clean scent or blend warm, woodsy fragrances like After Dark with a hint of vanilla for a cosy, inviting aroma. When applying your chosen scents, start with the lighter fragrance first and then layer on the heavier one, focusing on your pulse points like the wrists, neck, and inner elbows.
