There’s nothing quite like catching a whiff of your favorite scent throughout the day—whether it’s the calming aroma of lavender before bed, the energizing burst of citrus in the morning, or the tropical sweetness of coconut cream. But how do you make sure your fragrance lasts from sunrise to sunset? The key is a thoughtful fragrance routine that enhances and extends your scent for all-day freshness. Lucky for you, Beekman 1802’s Fragrance Explorer makes it easy to find your forever fragrance. Discover bestselling scents like Glacial Mint & Eucalyptus, Lilac Dream, and Sunshine Lemon, just to name a few! But first, let’s dive into how to get the most out of your signature scent.
1. Start in the Shower for Long-Lasting Fragrance
The foundation of a lasting scent starts with your cleansing routine. A well-prepped canvas allows your fragrance to absorb and linger longer.
Cleanse with a Fragrance Base
Using a scented body wash or bar soap is the first step in layering your scent. Try Beekman 1802’s Hand & Body Wash in scents like Lilac Dream or Sunshine Lemon. Or, try our goat milk soap bars for a luxurious, hydrating cleanse that infuses your skin with fragrance that lasts.
Exfoliate to Prep Your Skin
Incorporate the Oat & Goat Milk Exfoliating Cleanser a few times a week to remove dead skin cells, allowing fragrances to adhere better.
Use a Clean, Natural Deodorant
A gentle, aluminum-free deodorant keeps you feeling fresh without overpowering your chosen scent. Pair it with complementary scents like Coconut Cream or Glacial Mint with Beekman 1802’s scented deodorants for an added boost.
Pro Tip: A clean, smooth canvas enhances scent absorption, making it easier to smell fresh all day.
2. Hydrate and Layer for a Fragrance Extender
Hydrated skin holds fragrance better, making moisturization a crucial step.
Moisturize Immediately After Showering
Lock in moisture and scent by applying Goat Milk Body Lotion or Body Cream in the same scent as your body wash—such as Coconut Cream or Honey & Orange Blossom.
Pair Complementary Products
Layering products in the same scent family helps extend the fragrance’s longevity. Beekman 1802’s Milk Shake Body is a must-have for extra hydration and toning, further enhancing scent retention.
Pro Tip: Hydrated skin acts as a natural fragrance extender, keeping your scent fresher for longer.
3. Apply Perfume Strategically for All-Day Freshness
Where and how you apply fragrance makes all the difference in its staying power.
Target Pulse Points
Dab Beekman 1802’s Eau de Toilette in the same scent on pulse points like wrists, neck, behind ears, and inner elbows. These warm areas help diffuse the scent throughout the day.
-
Avoid rubbing your wrists together, as this can break down the fragrance.
-
Spritz Eau de Toilette lightly on clothing for a subtle yet lasting scent.
Scent Your Hair
Use Beekman 1802’s Hair Care products to subtly carry fragrance throughout the day.
4. Refresh and Protect to Smell Good All Day
Keeping your fragrance fresh requires a little upkeep throughout the day.
On-the-Go Fragrance Boost
Carry a Beekman 1802 Hand Cream in Glacial Mint & Eucalyptus or Almond Honey Cookie in your car or purse so you can easily refresh your scent while nourishing your skin.
Store Fragrances Properly
Keep your scented products in a cool, dark place to preserve their integrity and prevent them from breaking down prematurely.
Pro Tip: Avoid rubbing scents into the skin, as this can alter the fragrance’s composition and shorten its longevity.
