Confession: We are fragrance polygamists here at POPxo. For most of us, perfumes have always been an extension of our wardrobe – a direct representation of our mood, the occasion, or the weather on any particular day. They help us tap into all our style personas (from classic to edgy) and often bring them to life.
That said, we like to layer in new scents in the same way you might try a trending style of shorts or a new dress silhouette when the seasons change. And there’s one season in particular when this concept really comes into its own: Festive season. Yeah, it’s beginning to smell a lot like Diwali. And, though the fruity florals we loved over the summer will always hold a special place in our hearts, the tropical fragrance we wore in the warmer months may not translate as well, and can even disappear when the temperature starts to drop. So to help you rake in compliments this festive season, we’re listing down perfumes that’ll make you feel confident, fearless, and dare we say sexy?

If you’re itching for a vacation, this can be the ‘it’ perfume for you, splash it for you next night-around-the-town for that extra something.
Hacks To Make Your Perfume Long-Lasting
- Slather on your go-to lotion before applying the fragrance. Apply a thin layer of lotion on your skin before you spritz on the perfume as oilier skin retains fragrance longer, so using a moisturizer first will help lock in the scent.
- Apply perfume right after taking a shower as the moisture on your skin will help lock in the scent. This will also prevent the fragrance from staining your super delicate jewellery or clothes.
- Layer on your skin with the unscented body oil and spritz your perfume over it. It’ll help hold the scent better and you won’t have to apply it that frequently.
Hope you’ve found the ONE!
