Call Me Muse is an eau de parfum in Faberlic's women's range. Its note structure is published in the catalogue; this page covers layering, which is the most reliable way to make any fragrance last longer.
Why layering works
Fragrance evaporates from the skin. Anything that slows that evaporation extends how long it lasts — and a moisturised surface both slows it and gives the scent molecules something to cling to.
Dry skin is the single most common reason fragrance fades quickly, and it is entirely fixable.
The simplest version
An unscented body lotion, applied first, on the areas you will spray.
That alone often doubles longevity. It costs nothing beyond the lotion you may already own, and it works with any fragrance.
Apply the lotion, let it absorb for a minute, then the fragrance.
The matching-set version
If a fragrance line includes body products — shower gel, lotion, cream — using them under the fragrance builds the same scent in layers.
The advantage is that the fragrance seems to come from you rather than from a spray, and the effect is more even through the day.
The caution: do not layer two different fragrances. A scented lotion from one line under a fragrance from another gives you a third smell, usually worse than either.
What else affects longevity
- Apply straight after a shower, to warm, slightly damp skin
- Pulse points, where warmth releases it steadily
- Never rub the wrists together
- A little on clothing, which holds fragrance far longer than skin — test on an inconspicuous area first
Eau de parfum in practice
Denser and longer-lasting than an eau de toilette, and it projects further. Two or three sprays is normally enough; in a small office, two.
Testing
On skin, thirty minutes minimum, one at a time. Skin chemistry genuinely changes how a fragrance develops.

Storage
Cool, dark, in the box. Not the bathroom.
