Let’s face it: we all want to smell fresh and fabulous from morning to night. Whether it’s for a date, a long workday, or just to feel good about yourself, staying fragrant is a confidence booster. Here’s how to master the art of smelling good all day long—the easy, fun way!
1. Start with a Good Shower Routine #
Your journey to smelling amazing begins in the shower. Make it count!
- Use a Scented Body Wash: Opt for trending options like Sol de Janeiro’s Brazilian 4 Play Moisturizing Shower Cream-Gel or OGX Coconut Coffee Scrub and Wash for a creamy, invigorating cleanse.
- Exfoliate Regularly: Dead skin can trap odors. Gently scrub with Tree Hut’s Moroccan Rose Shea Sugar Scrub to keep your skin fresh and soft.
- Don’t Skip Your Hair: Use a shampoo and conditioner that smells divine, like the Olaplex No.4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo paired with No.5 Conditioner.


2. Hydrate Your Skin #
Dry skin doesn’t hold onto scents as well as hydrated skin. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!
- Apply Lotion Right After Showering: Lock in moisture with Bath & Body Works’ Gingham Ultra Shea Body Cream or Fenty Skin’s Butta Drop Whipped Oil Body Cream.
- Layer Scents for Longevity: Match your body wash and lotion scents if possible, or choose complementary fragrances.


3. Use a Long-Lasting Deodorant #
Nobody wants to deal with mid-day underarm panic. Choose something reliable!
- Go for Fan Favorites: For odor control and skin care, try Native’s Coconut & Vanilla Deodorant or the hype-worthy Kosas Chemistry AHA Serum Deodorant.
- Reapply When Needed: Travel-sized options can be lifesavers.

4. Keep Your Clothes Fresh #
Fresh-smelling clothes make a big difference. Here’s how to ensure your wardrobe contributes to your all-day freshness:
- Use Scent Boosters in Your Laundry: Add a capful of Downy Unstopables or Gain Fireworks Scent Beads to your laundry for long-lasting freshness.
- Store Clothes with Scented Sachets: Place lavender or cedar sachets in your drawers and closet to keep clothes smelling clean.
- Air Out Your Clothes: If you’ve been in a stuffy environment, hang your outfit outside for a few minutes to freshen it up.


5. Bonus Tips for Staying Fresh #
Here’s where you take things up a notch:
