Maximizing EDP Longevity: Essential Tips for the UAE Climate
Perfumes are not just an accessory; they are an extension of your personality. However, in the humid and often hot climate of the UAE, ensuring that your Eau de Parfum (EDP) lasts can be a challenge. Here, we explore effective strategies for prolonging the life of your favorite scents, ensuring that you smell divine from morning till night.
Understanding EDPs: A Primer
EDP fragrances are known for their high concentration of aromatic compounds, generally containing between 15% to 20% perfume oil. This concentration allows them to last longer than other types of fragrances, but environmental factors can still affect their longevity.
Routine Application Techniques
1. **Moisturize Before Applying**: Apply an unscented moisturizer or an oil-based lotion to your skin before spritzing your EDP. This helps the fragrance adhere to your skin and enhances its longevity.
2. **Pulse Points are Key**: Spray your EDP on pulse points, such as your wrists, behind your ears, and at the base of your throat. The warmth of your body in these areas helps to diffuse the scent throughout the day.
3. **Avoid Rubbing**: After spraying, resist the urge to rub your wrists together. This can break down the fragrance molecules and lessen the scent. Instead, let it dry naturally.
Layering Fragrances for Enhanced Longevity
Layering is an effective way to create a longer-lasting scent experience.
1. **Choose Complementary Scents**: Select a lighter fragrance to layer under your EDP for a more personalized scent. For example, try pairing floral notes with your favorite EDPs such as Esencia Floral Collection.
2. **Use Scented Body Wash and Lotion**: Incorporating scented body wash and lotion that match your EDP can enhance the fragrance’s longevity. For example, using the Doe Collection as a body lotion can create a harmonious scent profile.
Storage Tips to Preserve Your Perfume
How you store your EDP can significantly influence its lifespan.
1. **Keep Away from Heat and Light**: Store your perfumes in a cool, dark place. Exposure to sunlight and heat can break down the fragrance and affect its composition.
2. **Seal the Bottle**: Ensure the cap is tightly closed when not in use. This prevents oxidation and helps maintain the scent's integrity.

Buying tips that reduce regret (and increase satisfaction)
- Pick by occasion first: office, daily errands, dates, or formal events.
- Then pick by notes: oud/amber for depth, musk for clean longevity, fresh woods for daytime.
- Start with one strong performer: better to love one EDP than “collect” random bottles.

How to make EDP last longer in UAE heat
Heat changes projection and longevity. For best performance, apply EDP on clean, hydrated skin and focus on pulse points that don’t rub against clothing.
- Moisturize first: fragrance holds longer on hydrated skin.
- Don’t rub: rubbing breaks top notes faster.
- Layer smartly: a light mist on clothes (from distance) can extend wear.
- Storage matters: keep bottles away from sunlight and hot car compartments.
