When it comes to fragrances that truly last, understanding why some perfumes stay longer than others is key. Longevity depends on several factors — perfume concentration, base notes, weather, and even skin type.

What Makes a Perfume Long-Lasting?

Concentration: Higher oil content (like EDP or Parfum) lasts longer than EDT.

Base Notes: Heavy notes such as oud, amber, vanilla, leather, and musk linger longest.

Weather: Cooler climates help rich scents last longer; heat can make them fade faster.

Skin Type: Moisturized or oily skin retains fragrance better.

Application: Spray on pulse points, clothes, and hair — avoid rubbing wrists together.
