Top 10 long-lasting perfumes
One of the most frequently asked questions we get over our counters and sliding in our DMs is, “will this {insert fragrance in question} last long?” So, to save you the search, we’ve rounded up the 10 best long-lasting perfumes for women that have been put to the can-still-smell-after-hours-of-wear test. We’re talking super intense formulations and notes with staying power.
How to find long-lasting fragrances
If you’re looking for a long lasting perfume for women that has ‘spray once and last all day capabilities’, we’d recommend choosing the Eau de Parfum, Parfum, or Intense version of the scent. These formulations contain more concentrated oils that give them impressive longevity compared to the Eau de Toilette rendition. The Perfume Shop is always on-hand to explain the finer details of perfume, for instance the differences between Eau de toilette, Eau de parfum and parfum, and to help you discover the best long-lasting perfumes for women in-store.
Also, keep an eye out for bold and potent notes like tuberose, patchouli, musk, and sandalwood. Typically found at the base, these rich and musky notes have a lingering hold. There’s also a knack to making your perfume last longer – find out how on our blog.

A unique blend of florals and fruit give La Vie Est Belle a game-changing start. And with deliciously sharp undertones of patchouli, vanilla, and praline, it’ll see you through your morning commute, working lunch, dinner with the girls and beyond!
