In advance in the video: 5 signs that perfume has expired
Does your perfume disappear quickly and you always have to respray? This no longer happens with the Vaseline trick.
Perfume is part of my daily beauty routine. For everyday life, a small spritz of my favorite scent is usually enough to make me feel good. If you're going out, you might want to add a few more spritzes.
The problem is that the scent unfortunately disappears very quickly. After just a few hours the perfume has worn off. But since the bottle is very large, it rarely fits in my bag. So no chance of freshening up the scent.
I came across a video on TikTok online that is supposed to solve two problems at once. Firstly, the perfume should last longer. And secondly, you always have a small supply of perfume with you.
How does it all work? We'll show you.
TikTok has the solution: This means your scent lasts significantly longer
You don't need much for the long-lasting scent solution. Most people will have the miracle cure at home.
And this is how it all works:
- Put a small amount of petroleum jelly on a spoon.
- Hold a lighter under it so that the petroleum jelly melts and becomes liquid.
- Now simply add a few squirts of your favorite perfume to the liquid petroleum jelly.
- Then put the whole thing in a small cream container and let it harden.

Now, if necessary, all you need to do is take some petroleum jelly from the potty and apply it to your wrist or neck, and you're done.
The good thing about it: The petroleum jelly makes the scent last much longer and the small cream container makes it possible for you to refresh your favorite scent at any time. Perfect, right?
Why do scents disappear so quickly?
But how can it actually be that scents disappear so quickly on one person but not on others? This is due to the nature of the skin. The perfume lasts longer on oily skin than on dry skin. The natural fats and oils ensure this. This means that the scent molecules stick better. That's why the Vaseline trick works so well. Because Vaseline is extremely greasy.
