Body Lotions

Frequently Asked Questions About Scented Body Lotions

Does scented body lotion make perfume last longer?

Yes. Applying a scented body lotion before your perfume gives the fragrance something to hold onto, which helps it last longer on your skin. Dry skin tends to absorb and dissipate fragrance quickly, so moisturized skin provides a better base. For the most cohesive result, choose a body lotion in the same scent as your perfume, or at least in a complementary scent family. Brands like Chanel, Dior, Lancome, and Philosophy offer lotion and perfume pairs.

How do you use scented body lotion with perfume?

Apply the body lotion first to clean, dry skin and let it absorb for a minute or two. Then spray or dab your perfume on top, focusing on pulse points like the wrists, neck, and inner elbows. The warmth from these areas helps the fragrance project. This layering approach is especially useful in dry or cold weather when fragrance tends to fade faster.

What brands offer scented body lotions in the fragrance section at Ulta?

The body lotion selection in the Women's Fragrance section focuses on lotions that are part of a larger fragrance line, so they are designed to match or complement a signature perfume. Brands available include Chanel, Dior, Lancome, Valentino, Prada, Carolina Herrera, and Philosophy, among others.
