6. Make your fragrance last longer: There are a few simple things I do when I want to get more longevity out of a fragrance without just adding more sprays Start with hydrated skin. Fragrance usually holds better on moisturized skin than it does on dry skin, so an unscented lotion before spraying can make a noticeable difference. I especially like this with fragrances that tend to disappear quickly. I also like using more than one type of spray location. A couple of sprays on skin give you the natural development of the fragrance, while a light spray on clothing can hold the scent much longer. Just be careful with darker or oil-heavy fragrances because they can stain fabric. Another trick is to spray after a shower, once your skin is completely dry but still well hydrated. And as we already talked about, don’t rub your wrists together; just let the fragrance dry naturally. If something still doesn’t last as long as I want, I’d rather carry a small decant and refresh later than put on a huge number of sprays first thing in the morning. An unscented lotion is probably the easiest option. Apply a light layer, let it absorb, and then spray your fragrance over it. You’re adding moisture without introducing another scent that competes with the perfume. Another option is a small amount of fractionated coconut oil. It’s lighter than regular coconut oil and usually has very little scent. I’d use just a thin layer on the areas where I plan to spray; the idea isn’t to make your skin oily, but to give the fragrance a slightly more emollient surface to sit on. You can also use a tiny amount of Vaseline or plain petroleum jelly on a pulse point before spraying. Because it’s more occlusive, it can slow down how quickly the fragrance evaporates from that particular spot. The key word is tiny; you don’t need to coat your skin. For me, these are all tools, not requirements. I’d start with unscented lotion, then experiment with fractionated coconut oil or Vaseline if I have a fragrance that doesn’t want to stick around.

Had to run out to the job early this morning and needed something quick. I’m also going into a nursing home, so I didn’t want anything too loud, heavy, or challenging. It’s starting to get a little chilly here in Arizona in the early mornings, so today was one of those dumb-reach days. I went with Polo 67 EDP. I own the other versions in the Polo 67 line, and today I basically decided to sit right in the middle. The EDP gives me a little more body and presence than the EDT without pushing things too far. Clean, modern, masculine and easy to wear exactly what I needed when I didn’t have time to stand in front of the collection debating what to put on. Sometimes the best SOTD isn’t the most complicated fragrance you own. It’s the one you can grab, spray and know it’s going to work. Polo 67 EDP was that fragrance for me this morning. Performance-wise, Polo 67 EDP gives me around 7-9 hours of longevity, with good projection for the first 1½-2 hours before settling into a noticeable scent bubble. Sillage stays moderate, which is exactly what I wanted today—enough presence to smell good without filling up the room, especially going into a nursing home.

Well, today is national coffee day. It would be a great day to grab Amore Caffè or something similar, if the temps weren't reaching the 90s. What are some of your favorite coffee-centric fragrances?
