'my £1 perfume hack means you'll smell incredible all day'

A WOMAN SHARED THE WAY SHE MAKES SURE SHE SMELLS GOOD ALL DAY, AND IT'S PROBABLY SOMETHING YOU'VE NEVER CONSIDERED BEFORE - INVOLVING A £1 ITEM YOU MAY ALREADY OWN 12:54, 23 May

2025 There's always at least one person you know who turns heads with their scent as they stroll down the street, and if you want to match their energy, then you're in luck. The

trick to smelling irresistible is surprisingly affordable and easy to add to your daily routine. TikToker Nadia Bowes let slip that "every time" she steps out, she "gets

complimented" on her aroma - and it's all down to a single product that could significantly enhance how good you smell, as it improves the projection of your scent. Perfume experts

explain that projection refers to the distance your perfume travels and how effectively it diffuses into the air around you, essentially creating a scent bubble. To start smelling

delightful, Nadia suggests picking an effective deodorant. Following that, she advises: "You're gonna need a moisturiser." You can use any moisturiser that's either

unscented or complements the smell of your perfume. However, Nadia endorses Vaseline's Aloe Vera £3.29 spray moisturiser as a "base so that my perfume sticks to it" for a more

enduring fragrance, especially when opting for floral perfumes. Alternatively, for different fragrances, she goes for Boots' Shea butter moisturiser, which is a steal at just £1. She

applies her chosen moisturiser generously over her arms, chest, and up to her neck, where she'll later spritz her perfume. Article continues below Nadia also shares that she infuses her

hair with scent while waiting for her body moisturiser to absorb, because "when you flick your pony, they're gonna smell your pony," although it's generally advised not

to apply regular fragrance directly to your hair. Healthline has issued a warning that perfume can damage hair and encourages you to consider the ingredients in your perfume. Most perfumes

and body mists are made with harsh alcohols, such as ethyl alcohol, and heavy synthetic fragrances. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) states that ethyl alcohol can have a drying effect

on skin and hair. This is why Nadia opts for the Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Glossy Nourishing Anti-Frizz Hair Oil, which is "infused with the brand's iconic scent". Having

prepared a base for her fragrance, it was time to move on to the perfume itself. She advised, "Never, never just wear one fragrance." Nadia chose Zara's Red Temptation

perfume, spritzing it all over her neck, chest, and wrists. Article continues below Then, after she had sprayed her perfume, she went "in with a body mist," selecting Bare Vanilla

and Cashmere from Victoria's Secret. She saod: "I go ham," as she sprayed it all over her body. "The body mist really stays on your clothes for ages, so even when

you're perfume is kinda wearing off, when people are hugging you, you're still gonna smell the body mist," she revealed. At the conclusion of the video, she joked that she

"guaranteed" she'd "get a compliment" on how she smelled - and in the caption of the video, she confirmed she had.
