There’s something undeniably powerful about a fragrance that lingers. Whether you're stepping into the office, brunching with the girls, or handling your business like the boss you are, your scent should show up and stay just like you do.

At Legacy Essence, we believe in fragrances that last, feel luxurious, and honor your essence. That’s why we’re sharing our favorite tricks to make sure your perfume oil carries you through your day—even when the temps are rising.

Let’s make that scent stick, sis.

Your Scent Should Be Unforgettable

There’s power in a fragrance that speaks before you do—and lingers after you leave. Whether you’re stepping into your 9-to-5 or sliding into soft life, your scent deserves to last as long as your presence.

At Legacy Essence, our perfume oils are made for women who want to leave a mark—not a cloud.

Let’s talk about how to keep your fragrance strong and luxurious all day long, even in hot or humid weather.


7 Tips to Make Your Perfume Oil Last All Day


1. Start With Clean, Moisturized Skin

Fragrance sticks better to hydrated skin. Start with a shower using Dudu Osun Black Soap, a natural cleanser rich in shea butter and nourishing oils. It sets the tone for the day and removes anything that could block your scent.

Follow up with an unscented moisturizer or body oil to seal in hydration and give your perfume oil a base to hold onto.

Bonus: Dudu Osun’s earthy scent pairs beautifully with warm, woody, or musky oils. 


2. Apply to Pulse Points

These warm zones help your scent project and evolve throughout the day:

  • Wrists

  • Behind the ears

  • Base of the throat

  • Inner elbows

  • Behind the knees (perfect in dresses or skirts)

Just dab—don’t rub. Rubbing breaks down the scent molecules.


3. Layer Your Scents

Layering adds depth and staying power. Try:

  • Scented shower → body oil → perfume oil

  • Mixing complementary scents (like citrus + vanilla or amber + floral)

Legacy Essence makes layering easy with sizes from dram minis to full 1 oz rollers.


4. Use a Balm or Sealant

After applying your perfume oil, dab a small amount of Vaseline, shea butter, or cocoa butter over the area. This "locks in" the scent and prevents fast evaporation.

Think of it like primer—but for your fragrance.


5. Store It Properly

Heat and light can ruin perfume oils. Store them:

  • In a cool, dark drawer

  • Away from windows and heat sources

  • Upright and tightly closed

Good storage = stronger scent + longer shelf life.


6. Scent Your Hair (The Secret Weapon)

Your hair holds scent incredibly well! Lightly apply a few drops to a hairbrush, or spray diluted perfume oil (mixed with water) to your ends. It’s a game-changer for lasting aroma.

Just avoid heavy oils on roots to keep it fresh, not greasy.


7. Refresh Midday with a Mini

Keep a mini roller bottle in your purse for a mid-afternoon refresh. It’s convenient, mess-free, and gives your scent a boost just when you need it most.

Try our dram-size minis for $3.99—they're perfect for touch-ups on the go.


Make It a Ritual, Not Just a Routine

Fragrance is self-care. Start your day with Dudu Osun Black Soap, follow with your favorite Legacy Essence perfume oil, and finish with confidence that lasts.

🖤 Wash.
💨 Dab.
👑 Dominate.
