Quick answer
Start with the 400mL Body Lotion as a base, then apply the Eau de Parfum to pulse points for a layered, longer-lasting tropical scent.
Why layer body lotion and eau de parfum?
Layering a matching body lotion and perfume extends the fragrance's longevity and creates a more complex scent profile. The lotion's moisturizing base helps the perfume adhere to skin, while the perfume adds intensity and projection. For A Tahaa Affair, the brown sugar caramel and vanilla orchid notes in the Eau de Parfum are complemented by the lotion's nourishing shea butter and rosehip oil, which also carry the same warm, sultry scent.
How to layer A Tahaa Affair body lotion and eau de parfum
- Apply the body lotion to clean, dry skin: After showering or washing, massage the 400mL Body Lotion all over your body, focusing on arms, legs, and torso. Wait 2–3 minutes for the lotion to absorb fully. Don't apply lotion to wet skin—it dilutes the scent and reduces absorption.
- Spritz the Eau de Parfum on pulse points: Hold the A Tahaa Affair Eau de Parfum 6–8 inches from your skin and spray once on each wrist, behind the ears, and at the base of your throat. Avoid rubbing the perfume—it breaks down the fragrance molecules. Rubbing the perfume can alter the scent and reduce longevity.
- Layer for extra longevity (optional): For a stronger, longer-lasting effect, apply a second thin layer of lotion on top of the perfume after 10 minutes. This seals the scent without overpowering it. Don't overspray—two layers of lotion and one spritz per pulse point is enough for most occasions.
