LONG LASTING PERFUME
To get long-lasting perfume for men, choose Eau de Parfum (EDP) or Parfum concentrations for higher oil content, look for scents with base notes like woods, musk, or vanilla, apply to moisturized skin, target pulse points, and layer with matching scented body products; avoid rubbing the scent after applying. Popular long-lasting options often include brands like Dior, Chanel, Tom Ford, and Versace.
Choose the Right Type & Scent
- Concentration: Opt for Eau de Parfum (EDP) or Parfum (Parfum) over Eau de Toilette (EDT) or Eau de Cologne (EDC) for more staying power.
- Notes: Richer base notes like woods (oud, sandalwood), spices, amber, musk, and vanilla tend to last longer than lighter citrus or aquatic notes, says Armaf.
- Examples: Look for perfumes like Dior Sauvage Elixir, Chanel Bleu de Chanel EDP, Tom Ford Ombre Leather, or Paco Rabanne Invictus Victory Elixir.
Application Techniques
- Moisturize First: Apply to well-moisturized skin (using an unscented lotion or body butter) to help the fragrance adhere and release slowly, says YouTube and YouTube.
- Pulse Points: Spray on pulse points like wrists, neck, and behind the ears where body heat helps diffuse the scent, advises YouTube.
- Layer: Use matching body washes, deodorants, or aftershaves from the same fragrance line for enhanced longevity, suggests YouTube.
- Spray Clothes: For extra staying power, lightly mist your clothes from a safe distance, notes YouTube.
- Don't Rub: After spraying, let the perfume dry on your skin; rubbing it breaks down the top notes and reduces longevity, says YouTube
