Favourite perfume is too expensive for everyday use? Spray a few pumps into a 150ml of vaseline, mix thoroughly, check if the smell is strong enough, add a few pumps if necessary.

Your perfume now lasts a LOT longer.

Apply the vaseline mixture to the usual spots (wrists, neck etc..)

Oooor, don't use perfume. It's suffocating to some of us.

I don't but for those who do, this trick saves some bucks.

I don't like being in the same room where people use hairspray, spray deodorants and such. I have to cough immediately.

When using perfume with vaseline the scent is lingering longer but is not as aggressive.

That's a good point. It would be more controlled.
