Spray onto moisture, not onto dry skin
Fragrance holds onto oil. Dry skin gives it nothing to cling to, which is why a mist can vanish within the hour on some people and last on others. The fix is free: mist within a minute or two of getting out of the shower, while the skin is still slightly damp, or over an unscented moisturiser.
This single habit does more for longevity than doubling the amount you spray.
Aim for warm places
Scent lifts off the body with heat, so the warmest points carry it furthest: the chest, the base of the throat, the back of the neck, the inside of the elbows and wrists. Two passes across those is plenty.
Do not rub your wrists together afterwards. The friction crushes the lightest part of the scent, which is the part you actually chose it for.
Layer if you want it to hold
A concentrated perfume oil under a mist of the same family will outlast either on its own. The oil sits close and holds; the mist carries. One roll along each wrist before you spray is enough.
Store both away from windows and radiators. Heat and light break a fragrance down faster than time does, and a bottle left on a sunny sill will smell different in a month.
