I know I have been quite silent on the giveaways category on the blog for this month, but that is because Fashion and Style Police turns 4 in October (yayyy), and I have been so busy sorting out fab giveaways ready to celebrate. So keep your eyes peeled. I promise the gifts will be worth the wait.
This month, I am giving away this sweet-smelling Elizabeth Arden Provocative Interlude EDP Spray 100ml, worth £35. I have been a huge fan of Elizabeth Arden perfumes, and products in general, since I was a little girl. I have used almost all the fragrances by the brand, and the ones I am yet to use, I can’t wait to use them. I am a huge fan, can you tell?
Let me tell you a bit more about this amazing fragrance:
This Oriental Vanilla fragrance by Elizabeth Arden, for women was launched in 2006. Provocative Interlude was created by. Carlos Benaim and Loc Dong. The top notes are fruits, champagne and guava; middle notes are rose, orchid and mango blossom; base notes are cashmere musk, mahogany and white chocolate.
Here are the giveaway rules you need for the competition:
- Follow me on Twitter.
- Follow me on Instagram
- Retweet this post here.
- Leave me a comment telling me how to make your perfume stay on for longer.
- Don’t forget to include your Twitter name (very important) so I know how to find you.
This giveaway will run for 2 weeks; it will end 9th September at 10pm. It is open to all readers worldwide. The winner will be choosen at random and announced on Twitter, so keep your eyes open. Also please keep your answers as personal and honest as possible. I know people wear fragrances differently, and there are ways of making your fragrance stay on for longer, so I will like to hear your thoughts.
Thanks for entering and good luck.
All done Stella. Thank you! My tip is spray your perfume on both wrists. Do not rub your wrists together as used to be the normal.
Doing that means you break the perfume up and it wont last as long. A spray only on each inner wrist means your perfume will last longer
Twitter name – @Angiereviews
My tip is to rub vaseline onto pulse points such as your wrists and neck as this seems to grip the fragrance for a little longer
hello ive retweeted x @lstewarts
apply to moisturized skin @pixiee1
put on moisturised skin @BroadAaron
Put enough on.. 😀
@GrwGisela I prefer a lighter scent and only spray it in the air and walk through it, specially after a shower.
@JodieCJ_x Put on moisturiser then the perfume. Don’t really know of any other way to make it last.
@JodieCJ_x Just put on after you’ve mositurised.
I’ve found that it lasts longer if you apply perfume behind the ears 🙂
I rub Vaseline on my wrists, before spraying, it does make the scent last longer. @Ma_Weir
I moisturise first then spray my perfume on. Also I add a squirt to my coat or a scarf so I always get a lovely waft of it through the day <3

My Wife is always topping- up her perfume throughout the day as they seem to lose their potency after a while. Would love to win this a nice surprise for her. ( on twitter as @freyerj )
Spray individual pulse points and dont rub your wrists together. Spray behind the ears and knees too. It really does help!
@LeeanneClifford on twitter
Fantastic treat thankyou
Sounds the perfect scent for me
To make perfume stay on for longer I put multiple sprays on each wrist and 2/3 on my neck
Twitter name @jk00002oo2
I make my fragrance last longer by spraying it on the inside of the elbows and behind the knees where it is warmer and can diffuse the fragrance better.
Twitter: @cocoa36heart
I spray a bit in my hair. It lasts for a while and makes my hair look and smell nicer. It’s particularly effective on unwashed hair. @modzy78
I find perfume last longer if you squirt a little on the inside of your elbow and behind your ears 🙂
Put vaseline on the places you put your perfume. Makes it last much longer. @EmmyCD
I rub Vaseline on my wrists, before spraying, it does make the scent last longer. @krobertsonkaren
You can rub Vaseline on your pulse points before spraying your perfume to make the scent last longer. @Isis1981uk
I dont really have 1 i just spray and go lol x
When I wear perfume, I always put a few little dabs of vaseline onto my wrists, neck and chest, then spray the perfume and let it set. 🙂
@NicolaStudio88

My tip is to spray it down your cleavage,so it doesn’t evaporate or rub off. @poncall
DAP ON EAR LOBES @ukraines

@monskimon

I wear moisturiser first, then I respray later in the day @vickyeaston1234
I spray a little on my hair and clothes as it last longer than when it applied only onto the skin
Put some vaseline on your pulse points, it really works!
@Leanne_mk
@HelHots
Spray the space in front of you , step into the mist and twirl.
I try layering, having the same scent in body cream and perfume spray to help it last.
I would spray the perfume on my wrists but not rub them together, as this is supposed to help. @abby2cullen
I use vaseline on my skin where im going to spray it to make my perfume last longer
i like to spray my perfume on my hair, especially if i need to get changed quick later in the day and dont have enough room to carry my perfume with me 🙂
I don’t just spary some on my skin I spray some on my clothes also.As I find the scent last longer
I spray some on to my clothes and coat. The perfume stays on them longer 😀 (twitter user name: @williamsgwynfa) thank you x
My daughter and I never go out of the house without a little tin of Vaseline each in our bags. It is so versatile – you can use it for dry chapped lips in the winter time and to put on insect bites and to soothe sunburn in the summer 😀 – twitter user name: @williamsgwynfa
To make perfume last longer I spray on my wrists, don’t rub together and on my neck and as I often wear scarves as accessories a little spray on there certainly lingers for a long time Twitter handle @cillastubbs
@Larry680
Always spray a little on both wrists and my clothes.
To make perfume last longer, I put it on without clothes first, spray my wrists and swipe up my arms by rubbing each wrist together…the immediate waft up my nose is good! Then I put my top on and spray my neck and down my top once. If I am going out somewhere special or for a longer time I’d spray my clothes lightly up and down from a little distance too. The scent lingers longer and when I move around it seems to release from my clothes or scarf. People stood near me e.g. a shop queue often say “oh there’s a nice smell around here!” I like that 😊 @lottielouyellow
i spray on scarves and neck to keep it on longer.
I spray on my wrists and a little on my clothes 🙂 @bexbext
I spray on my wrist then rub together then on my neck it also tends to last longer if I’m wearing a high top or scarf xx
I spray ny perfume right after taking a shower and before getting dressed
Forgot my twitter name @mandydoherty65
I spray perfume on my brush before I brush my hair, I smell amazing for hours when I go out
dont moistureise where you put your perfume as it will not soak in also spray on hair as it lasts longer
Spray on wrists.
I see some others have the same tip as me, but I also spray onto my hair brush. @mm_murray
I spray perfume on my wrists, behind my neck and on my hair to make it last longer 🙂
@sonaseer
Spray perfume on your hair to make it last longer.
@sonaseer
I layer my scent up so often have the body lotion and shower gel to match. By layering the scent, it stays on longer. @2668looby
I always spray a little a cross my hair as this keeps the scent smelling fresh for longer

Always spray a little on both wrists @greigo_uk
If I have the matching body lotion I put that on first after a shower and let it soak in while I do my makeup. Then I spray across my hair and around my neck. @CrystalFez
Never mastered the art of perfume staying on longer so if in doubt have another squirt. 💜💜💜 hazydayz72 💜💜💜
Put your perfume on your pulse points or where you most likely sweat. Put vaseline on before you spritz perfume on it xo

I spray on both wrists. My twitter name is @laurah7982
pur vaseline on your wrists before spraying twitter xxgingerpumpkin
I spray a little perfume on my hair too when I’ve finished getting ready and it tends to stay on for longer.
Whenever possible I use a matching body lotion first, then spray on top of it. In colder weather I put a tiny spray on my scarf, too. @antooshki
I am not sure I know the answer to that one except that if a bit of the perfume goes on to my clothes (i.e. collar) it seems to last longer. Twitter: @antheajholloway
Don’t wash, that makes the perfume last longer 🙂

Have tweeted @Highlandgirl
Goodluck everyone 🙂
I always spray on the backs of legs and hair also a little on your clothes. Twitter name – @tam68s
A little bit on your clothes too (@PeanutHog)
I always make sure my skin is exfoliated and well moisturised then dab a little on the back of the neck behind the ear lobes and the wrists X x x
I spray my neck and wrists when I have dried off after my shower, then give another spray on my neck and clothes a bit later. Someone else also mentioned scarves – these tend to smell of my perfume as well 🙂
Storing the perfume in cool dry places helps, as does moisturising before applying (make sure it is a perfume free moisturiser).
Forgot to put my Twitter username 🙂 It is @amandadegregory
I spray the perfume on my clothes to last longer. It really works for me.

My wife sprays little on her neck & wrists.
@purplepansyem To make your perfume last longer, spray on your pulse points and don’t rub as this bruises the scent. Exfoliating before hand can also help and I spray in layers, leaving 10 minutes between sprays.
I spray a bit in my hair so that the smell floats about!

I don’t rub it in. I am not sure how to make it last longer but I think it helps. @Webkinny on twitter.
I don’t do anything special, I just try find a decent perfume that lasts rather than one that fades instantly
I don’t do anything special, I just try to find a decent perfume that lasts. @CaelaJ07
I spray perfume after shower before getting dressed. Worked me all the time ( Twitter @sivapi2)
Hi
I apply the matching body cream and this makes my perfume last longer.
Also buy eau de parfum as this stays on all day. No need to keep reapplying your fragrance.
I moisturize after my shower and then add perfume before getting dressed (@leajoy79)
@bonniebonster1 I put a little bit of vaseline on before I spray, that seems to make it last longer
I have the body cream as well as the perfume so I have a multi layer approach
twitter & instagram – @elff73
@kathc4 I apply it behind ears, inside wrists and inside elbows 🙂
A little squirt on my hair seems to last longer than it does on my body .x

Spray it on all pulse points. Behind the knees included! It makes it last much longer
dont rub it in as it will ruin the scent ! put on your pulse points
I put it onto my clothes! @zvdt123
I like to give a couple of good squirts into the air, as a cloud and walk into it. That way I’m sure to be covered all day long. @UKcydonia
I spray it in my hair , wrists and neck always seems to linger for a good while
Spray into the air and then step through it as well as apply to pulse spots.

vaseline is supposed to make perfume last longer
I spray it into my hair and on my pulse points @blarneystone17
I spray on to the back of my neck which leaves a wafting scent wherever I walk and spray onto my chest and pulse points (don’t rub as it dulls the scent). Twitter name @SammyFairman
I always spray it on my hair, as find it lasts sooo much longer xx
Apply to pulse points because the heat from the blood helps as perfume is influenced by heat 🙂

I follow a trick I saw in an episode of Friends years ago – I spray and then walk into the spray. Thank you Pheobe Buffay! Twitter : JLCon1985
I always use body cream and it lasts longer.
Dab Vaseline on your wrists and neck then spray on your perfume, it lasts so much longer!
Oh sorry! Twitter name is @WarrenZ10
I spray it on my hair only @LuckyKeira
Rub it onto your wrists instead of spraying it @pintsized_21
would love to try it
@muslimahi – I really don’t know how to keep it on for longer so it was good to read all the other comments. I just spray loads and hope for the best usually!!
I spray it on my pulse points and my clothes
Retweeted as @hackettlady and INSTA @Brummiemummie – i love spraying perfume on to my hair. smell last all day!
I don’t have a specific way , I just try and avoid purchasing au de toilette rather than au de parfume. Used to make the mistake of buying au de toilette before without realising
@pandora_boxed
I have been told to spray the back of your neck or backs of your knees to prevent your nose from getting used to your perfume
@KerryLurve
i try to buy the best quality i can afford and do have a bit of a spritz later in the day as a freshen up
I was told to put Vaseline on pulse points and then spray perfume over that to prolong the fragrance
I make my perfume stay on longer by spraying it on the clothes I am wearing x
Woops I totally answered on your tweet lol applying vaseline before perfume keeps the perfume smelling longer. Lightly dabbing after spraying lasts longer too, not harsh though or you will remove the top notes. Good luck everyone, I wish you loads of luck in the competition xx @xxKimxClarkxx
I shower first, then use a body moisturiser before perfume as it really helps hold the scent for longer. Also I bought a couple of perfume atomisers which are brilliant! They cost about £8 each, I can just fill them with my favourite perfume and easily carry them in my bag as they are small. Great for weekends away too, better than packing a huge 50/100ml bottle 🙂
Twitter: @JustinaHowells
Just spray a little on your hair and it will stay on longer 🙂 thank you. @carlychoc2
I spray it on my pulse points and spray some into the air and walk into it for an all over scent @kirstywoods32
I just spray on inside of my elbows,behind my knees and also on my wrist but don’t rub. I just buy good quality perfumes which lasts for longer!
I spray my perfume on pulse points wrist behind the ears also begin my knees so it can be fragranced for longer
@luckyy888
I have rather sensitive skin, so when I know which outfit I am going to wear, I spray the perfume on the back of it. With it being material, it absorbs, and the fragrance seems to last longer 🙂
@SamanthaWhyte5 I make my perfume last longer by spraying it on my hair!
As well as pulse points I spray my hair and clothes. People often say ” Ooh you smell nice, what perfume are you wearing?” Even when I think it must have worn off.
I find if I wear the body lotion or use the soap, the smell lingers more. Always spray behind the ears as this is the bit people come into contact with most and when buying perfume always immerse yourself in the shop freebie as I am sure their sample bottles are far stronger.
oops forgot twitter name wildabouttheboy
I rub a small amount of vaseline on before I spray my perfume which makes it last much longer. My username is @Sweetcraftiness
I spray on my wrists and neck!
I like to layer it with a similar scented body lotion (@goodlucklissa)
I spray and then rub with a touch of water. I also spray it on my clothes. I find this combination makes the perfume smell last all day!
I use a little body lotion! it seems to last longer
I vary perfume that I use from time to time. As apparently we initially smell scent / aroma and as we become accustomed to it become less aware of it. So I tend to buy a small box of a variety of nice / good perfumes, to allow me to vary perfume from time to time.
I like to layer and try to buy body lotion and shower gel if available
A spritz in your hair helps the smell last longer. @MrsC2708
I just spray and don’t rub it
All done @nattycrossaint @natalielara1989 on instagram xx
I try to use the same body lotion as perfume, so it seems to last longer..
