🌿 Why unscented lotion first = longer-lasting scent........
Fragrance clings way better to hydrated skin. Dry skin lets scent evaporate faster, like water on hot sand (dramatic, but accurate).
When you apply unscented lotion first:
It creates a slightly grippy base
The fragrance sits on top instead of disappearing
Your scent lasts longer and more evenly
📍 Pulse points = extra magic
Pulse points (wrists, neck, behind ears) are warmer, which helps the fragrance bloom over time. Lotion + warmth = slow release instead of “poof, gone.”
✨ Pro tips (because you’re clearly ready)
Stick to unscented or lightly scented lotion so it doesn’t fight your fragrance
Let the lotion absorb for ~30–60 seconds before spraying
Don’t rub your wrists together (I know, it’s tempting). It breaks the scent structure—rude.
🌸 Bonus ScentWork-level tip
This is also perfect for layering. A moisturized base lets top notes sparkle longer and keeps your heart/base notes cozy and grounded. Very “aligned” behavior, if I may say so 😌
