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 10 long-lasting perfumes 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 scent that has ‘spray once and last all day capabilities’, we’d recommend choosing the Parfum, Eau de 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. We detail the differences between the fragrance formulations here and are always on-hand to help you discover a long-lasting perfume 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.
1. La Vie Est Belle by Lancôme
For a long-lasting fragrance that doesn’t lean towards the woody side, this refreshing scent from Lancôme will be love at first spritz. 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!
