The VERY best way, to keep Chanel #5 fragrance alive, when you use your perfume or even toilet water, is to use the lotion first. It holds the scent longer, and you don't have to use as much of the perfume, when you spray. One thing to be aware of, is with Chanel #5, is NOT to spray too much. When you use a good perfume like Chanel #5, it can be over powering, and you don't want that.

I use the body lotion to help the scent last longer. It will stay until the next morning, when you combine the perfume.
