Perfumes' body lotion effectiveness?

If I go out after only applying a perfume's body lotion like J.lo's After Dark body lotion without applying the perfume itself, will the scent be apparent? I'm asking this because of budget issues and the designer fragrant body lotions are (at least) half the price of the same perfume. So any idea folks?Perfumes' body lotion effectiveness?
Yes, the scent will be apparent, even you don't feel it as our olfactory sensors get used to our own smell as quick as after a few seconds after applying the lotion (or perfume). But be careful with using these scented lotions as the fragrances used tend to unbalance the skin's natural PH and apparently speeding up the aging process.


At least check that the product is alcohol free.


Take care,

use a good smelling perfumed body spray from a dollar store.
Yes, but the effect will be much lighter. If it is going to be an intimate evening the lotion is very nice idea, cause only someone real close to you will smell it. Lotion adheres to you skin longer.
I always find the body lotion smell lasts longer. maybe only apply it where you would put the perfme though. As another answer says they can dry your skin. Or use an unscented body lotion first.
