How to Mix Vaseline with Perfume – The Secret to Long-Lasting Fragrance
Have you ever noticed your favorite perfume fading after just a few hours? A simple beauty trick can make your scent last all day: mix Vaseline with your perfume. This easy method helps lock in moisture and keeps your fragrance fresh, soft, and long-lasting.
Why Vaseline Helps Perfume Last Longer
Locks in moisture: Vaseline forms a thin barrier on the skin that helps trap scent molecules.
Reduces evaporation: Fragrance fades faster on dry skin, but Vaseline slows the process and extends longevity.
Enhances scent projection: The oily base allows perfume notes to cling to your skin and release gradually.
How to Make Vaseline Perfume Balm
You’ll need:
1 small jar of Vaseline (about 50g)
10–15 sprays of your favorite perfume
1 pot of hot water
1 spoon for stirring
Small containers or lip balm tins
Instructions:
Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil.
Loosen the Vaseline jar lid and place the jar in the pot, making sure no water gets inside.
When the Vaseline has melted, remove the jar from the pot.
Spray your perfume directly into the warm Vaseline (10–15 sprays, depending on how strong you prefer).
Stir well until evenly mixed.
Pour the mixture into small jars and let it cool until it sets into a soft balm.
How to Use
Apply a small amount to your wrists, behind your ears, on your neck, or inner elbows. The fragrance will stay close to your skin, smelling natural and elegant throughout the day.
Extra Tips
Add a few drops of jojoba oil or almond oil for a smoother, more nourishing texture.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the scent’s quality.
Experiment with different perfume types—floral for daytime, woody or musky for evening.
With just one jar of Vaseline and a few sprays of perfume, you can create your own personalized solid perfume that is affordable, travel-friendly, and long-lasting.
