A lot of "my perfume doesn't last" complaints come down to application, not the fragrance itself — especially in Indian heat, where higher temperatures speed up evaporation no matter how good the bottle is.
Pulse points — wrists, neck, behind the ears, inner elbows — run slightly warmer than the rest of your skin, and that warmth helps the fragrance diffuse steadily through the day instead of fading all at once.
It's an instinct, but rubbing generates friction and heat that breaks down the fragrance's top notes faster, which can make a scent fade quicker and sometimes smell slightly different than intended. Spray and let it dry naturally instead.
Fragrance holds better on hydrated skin than on dry skin — dry skin absorbs and disperses fragrance oil faster, so a scent applied right after a shower on slightly damp skin, or over an unscented moisturizer, tends to last noticeably longer.
Fabric holds fragrance for longer than skin does, since it doesn't have the same oils, sweat and temperature affecting it. A light spray on the inside of a shirt collar or a scarf (test on an inconspicuous spot first for delicate fabric) adds hours of extra life.
Heat and direct light break down fragrance oils over time, which is why a bottle kept on a sunny windowsill or in a hot car will noticeably weaken faster than one stored in a cool, dark drawer or cupboard.
Two or three sprays on different pulse points usually outlasts one heavy spray in a single spot, and it also avoids the fragrance feeling overwhelming up close — which matters more than most people think for how a scent is perceived by others.
Higher temperatures increase how fast fragrance molecules evaporate off skin — it's simple chemistry, not a flaw in the perfume. In peak summer, a light reapplication in the afternoon (rather than a heavy morning-only application) usually gives more consistent results than trying to make one application stretch the whole day.

Heat speeds up how fast fragrance oils evaporate off your skin — it's a natural effect of temperature, not a sign the perfume is low quality. A lighter reapplication later in the day usually works better than one heavy morning application.
No — rubbing creates friction and heat that can break down the top notes faster and alter how the fragrance develops. Let it dry naturally instead.
Yes, fabric generally holds fragrance longer than skin does. A light spray on clothing (tested on an inconspicuous area first) is a simple way to extend how long a scent lasts through the day.
