The best perfumes that will stay on your skin all day

Applying your favorite perfume before leaving home is like putting a cherry on top of a cake. The chosen fragrance can help you complete your look, reflect your personality, can improve your mood and give you a feeling of freshness. But unfortunately, it often happens that the smell of your perfume disappears as soon as you leave the house, so you feel as if you never applied it at all. If you want to put an end to this and want the perfume to last all day, choose one of the fragrances below.

Why do some perfumes last longer than others?

Experts explain that the construction of the fragrance and the ingredients used play a big role in the longevity of the fragrance. Perfumes are made as a mixture of natural ingredients and other raw materials, and the molecules of these ingredients create a pyramidal structure consisting of top, middle and bottom notes. When buying a fragrance, experts suggest looking for those few ingredients that often create a longer-lasting scent - these are wood, musk and resin. These ingredients establish a foundation on the skin which prolongs the duration of the perfume by six hours or more. Another key factor is the concentration of the oil in the fragrance. The higher the concentration of the fragrance oil, the longer the perfume lasts.

When you want to try a perfume, spray it on your skin and wait for the top and middle notes to evaporate before the base comes. You will have to wait approx 20 minutes or more, but that's the only way you'll see what kind of perfume it really is. Climate, weather, location, and your body chemistry all affect how a particular scent will behave on your skin.
