Using oils to prolong frags?

I'm sure this topic's been discussed to death but I was wondering if anyone here uses some unscented oils before spraying frags to make them stick around for longer (or so I read here a while back)

I seem to have one of those skin types that consume even the nuclear disaster frags withing hours and leave no trace (I can smell A*Men on my roommate for days but if I spray it on myself it evaporates in the next couple of hours)

Does it actually help?

If this works, this may be the solution for the staying power of my beloved KC: Reaction!

I use oils, but scented ones. I've found a great dupe for fahrenheit that has a similarty with the base of fahrenheit. So everytime i use fahrenheit i day the oil on my skin, wait it absorvs the oil, and then i spray the original one on me. With this I get extra sillage and longevity on skin.

Try jojoba oil. Works for me and others.

If you can find natural ambergris oil. Ambergris slows down the evaporation of fragrances.
