Perfume that actually lasts

[aprilpgb22]

I want perfume that people can smell on me when I walk by them and I am sorry, but lately the fragrances aren't up to par. I recently bought Guess, Juicy, and Tracey Ellen and they just don't last. My boyfriend bought me a $120 bottle of Therry Muglien's Alien for valentines day and my co-worker had to come close to me to smell my neck just to smell the stuff. I sprayed it on 5 times after the shower. For $120 it should last 2 days and that was the parfum. I know the actual oil is what last but they rarely make the oils anymore and they are over $200 and are the ones that I don't like. Any suggestions on perfumes?

REM from Reminiscence, Guerlain Shalimar, Hugo Boss Deep red, Emilio Pucci Vivara. Those last long on me.

One perfume i also like is Miss Dior Cherie, it lasts a good while too but it's too expensive imo.

my j'adore lasts forever on me

J'adore by Christian Dior and Baby Phat: Seductive Goddess by Kimona Lee Simmons seem to really hold to my body.

I get compliments on both perfumes when i'm wearing them

My all time favorite is lucky you by liz claiborne. It lasts forever and you can get a HUGE 6.7 oz bottle on overstock.com for only about 20 bucks...or it's available @ walmart etc...it's a perfect blend of citrus floral and amber...it's the only perfume my boyfriend loves!!!

Burberry London and Brit are usually strong on me. I try not to use it too much since I prefer lighter scents. Dior and Chanel parfums lasts long too

Last time I use Water melon , I like that. It something different and good.

anything by chanel will last days. I like the new chanel no 5 - eau premiere. Such a classic scent and it lasts ages

I know a ton of people are not into using the body lotions in sets, but it will give you at least 6 hours longer when you layer your scent with the body lotions.

other then that, I love the new flora by gucci.

I love layering the two juicys too, it seems to give them a little more oomph.

and i allso love "rose the one ", because i can layer it with a rose lotion, or something in that floral family and it smells great.

I think the key here is, and most of you are saying..."this lasts a long time ON MY BODY". I do think that is a big part of it. Yes, some are heavier than others and tend to last longer, but I think much of it is body chemistry also. I have a couple that I've tried that seem to last 5 minutes on me, but others say they last a long time. Every person is different, and some will last longer than others.

I also think that the heavier, headier fragrances last a lot longer than the lighter fresher ones. Which sucks for me because I prefer a lighter scent.

I agree with Aude--the Miss Dior Cherie is a bit more expensive but it DOES last! I suppose you get what you pay for...

Miss Dior Cherie and Yves San Laurent Parisienne last all day for me! I love love love them both.

A friend of mine wears Chanel Chance, and that seems to last forever! Even in a packed, smokey bar!

ck - obsession, herrera - flore, chopard - madness

These last long on me.

maybe you just have to reapply it in the middle of the day.

It depends on where you apply the perfume as well. If you spray it on clothing, it will last longer. Pulse points will make it radiate further but doesn't mean it'll last longer. Also depends on body chemistry as well. DKNY Be Delicious stays all day. I will spray some on the inside of my clothes (so it doesnt stain) to make it last longer. I can't wear strong scents at work so it's usually just one squirt.

Also, your sense of smell is the first sense that you get used to the fastest. If you switch fragrances regularly, you may smell it on yourself longer and maybe your BF has gotten used to that scent as well.

I love love love love black phoenix alchemy lab. It's the only fragrance I've ever worn and had people compliment me on how I smelled.

 

[Ingrid]

UGH I suffer from the same problem as well. No matter what brand of perfume I use and HOW MUCH I spray, the most the smell would last on me is like 10, 15 mintues. Even my Chanel N5 seems to only last 20 mintues. My boyfriend couldn't smell my versus from versace he bought me right after I sprayed it. I am cursed.

"Cashmere Mist" eau de parfum by Donna Karan

the other problem may be, that you, yourself, can't smell it, but others can. You do become accustomed to the scent that you're wearing, and think it's gone, even though if you ask someone else, they'll tell you they can smell it
