When choosing a perfume, one of the most important factors to consider is longevity—how long the scent stays on your skin. Long lasting perfumes help you feel fresh, confident, and remembered, whether you're heading to work, a romantic dinner, or a beach vacation.

Perfumes are typically made using a mix of essential oils, aroma compounds, and alcohol, and their lasting power depends on the concentration of oils. Eau de Parfum (EDP) has a higher oil concentration than Eau de Toilette (EDT), making it longer lasting.
