Long-Lasting Perfumes

Our extrait de parfum collection has a higher concentration than eau de toilette, which is what most people look for in a long-lasting perfume.

What makes a perfume last longer?

Concentration matters most. An extrait de parfum contains more perfume oil than an eau de parfum, which contains more than an eau de toilette. Base notes matter too, because woods, amber and musk fade more slowly than citrus. How long any perfume lasts still varies from person to person, as it depends on your skin and the weather.

Make your perfume last

Spray onto moisturised skin on your pulse points and avoid rubbing your wrists together. Our guides to making perfume last longer and perfume concentrations explain more.

Frequently asked questions

Which type of perfume lasts the longest?

Generally, extrait de parfum lasts longest, followed by eau de parfum and then eau de toilette. It also depends on your skin and the notes in the perfume.

Why does my perfume fade so quickly?

Dry skin, lighter fresh notes and warm weather can all make perfume fade faster. Applying it to moisturised skin helps.
