We understand that choosing a fragrance that suits your personality type, or pairs well with a special occasion, is very subjective. But one thing most beauty lovers can agree on is finding a formula that lasts beyond its initial few spritzes—which is where the best long-lasting perfumes come in. These scents don't just linger on your clothing, but contain a series of notes that also stay put on the skin until they're showered off.
Professionals say that it's important to keep fragrance categories you're most drawn to in mind when shopping for a bottle of one the best long-lasting perfumes. Clayton Ilolahia, evaluation and communications manager at Fragrances of the World tells Bazaar that scents in the "fresh" category—think: dominant fruit or green notes—tend to have less staying power. He advises sticking with fragrances in the amber or woody families instead, which contain blends of notes like oud, leather, and amber.
If you're in search of a fragrance that's in it for the long haul, round out your rotation with a few long-lasting perfumes experts and editors swear by.
Angel Eau de Parfum
The patchouli leaf at the base of Mugler's beloved Angel perfume is what lingers on your skin, along with its notes of bergamot and red fruit.

In European perfumery, extrait de parfum is traditionally the highest concentration of fragrance landing around 30 percent, according to Ilolahia. "In the Middle East and parts of South Asia, they have practices that date back thousands of years which are 100 percent concentration," he says. Luxury perfume house, Amouage, recently launched its Attar collection, inspired by these ancient practices. Its Rose Aqor Attar scent has a pure rose oil base paired with frankincense and sandalwood.

What makes certain perfumes last longer than others?
There are a few factors that play into a perfume's staying power. "Concentration plays a key role in how long-lasting a perfume is," says Clayton Ilolahia, Evaluation and Communications Manager at Fragrances of the World. Perfume is generally a mixture of perfume concentrate, alcohol, water, and small additives like colors or sometimes preservatives. "The higher the ratio of perfume concentrate, the longer lasting the fragrance will be on the skin," he tells Bazaar.
How can you tell if a perfume will last?
The potency and how long a perfume will last is delineated on the label. Ilolahia explains that "Eau de cologne is the lowest concentration, designed to refresh the skin with scent but not linger. Eau de toilette and eau de parfum are the most common perfume concentrations with eau de parfum designed to linger a little longer. And extrait de parfum, sometimes called parfum, is the highest concentration."
