We often receive messages from friends asking for recommendations on long-lasting perfumes. No problem, we've got you covered! Based on the evaluations of numerous fragrance enthusiasts and our own personal experiences, we have selected 10 insanely long-lasting perfumes from the commercial and niche fragrance categories.

[Popular Commercial Fragrances]

Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium EDP

This sweet fragrance bomb consistently ranks high on the list of long-lasting champions. With notes of caramel, vanilla, cream, and chocolate, each scent is rich and sweet, reminiscent of a delicious cream cake. Be careful not to apply too much, as it can become overwhelming like overindulging in sweets.

Chanel Coco Mademoiselle EDP

Describing Chanel Coco Mademoiselle as a "sweet poison" is spot on. Bitter and cool patchouli is enveloped by citrus and sweet rose notes, creating a bitter-sweet interplay that is particularly captivating. Spray it on fabric, and the scent becomes practically indelible, staying with you for a ridiculously long time.

Giorgio Armani Sì Passione EDP

This fragrance is akin to simmering a variety of ripe fruits into a jam and sprinkling rose petals on top. Its scent is both sweet and warm, with a hint of sensuality. It conjures images of couples deeply in love, yearning to be together every day.

Clinique Aromatics Elixir

Clinique Aromatics Elixir's wonderful aroma has even won over the notorious critic Luca Turin, who awarded it five stars. It starts with chilly, damp, and bitter notes of patchouli and oakmoss. Later, the rich floral notes gradually become brighter, mingling with warm sandalwood and musk. Truly a timeless classic!

[Classic Niche Fragrances]

Amouage Epic Woman EDP

All of Amouage's perfumes have impressive longevity, but Epic Woman is truly the king of them all. It is said to contain 120 different ingredients, creating a complex yet harmonious fragrance. Base notes of agarwood, patchouli, frankincense, and rose gradually unfold, creating a grand and epic symphony of scents.

Nasomatto Blamage

All of Nasomatto's perfumes are highly concentrated, ensuring long-lasting fragrances. Blamage, with its sour, musty wood scent and slightly overwhelming dusty note, sets a dark and negative atmosphere. However, the perfumer rounds it off with gentle floral notes, like sunlight streaming into a basement, giving this fragrance a complete and artistic touch.

Serge Lutens Santal Majuscule

Fragrances centered around sandalwood generally have good longevity, such as Santal Majuscule by Serge Lutens. Blending sandalwood with a milky, caramel-like sweetness, this fragrance exudes a rich and mellow aroma. Its three stages of development are not very distinct, with the warm woody scent lingering on your skin for a long time.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum

This fragrance is incredibly dominant in terms of longevity and projection. The luxurious texture of high-quality leather enhances the floral and fruity notes, reminiscent of velvet curtains in European architecture. Compared to the EDP version, the metallic note in this fragrance is not as sharp. It exudes a polished and elegant vibe, reminiscent of antique silverware.

Matiere Premiere Radical Rose

Perhaps the roses used in Matiere Premiere's fragrance are plentiful, as they dared to increase the concentration of rose essential oil in Radical Rose. The combination of patchouli and rose releases an intense and rich floral scent, as if you were walking through a vibrant and passionate rose garden that never wilts or fades.

Etat Libre d'Orange Rien EDP

This fragrance, Rien, from Etat Libre d'Orange, includes a significant dosage of aldehydes, leather, and tobacco. If you're not an experienced fragrance enthusiast, it might be challenging to embrace its unique scent. The smoky leather coupled with a slightly animalic note creates a wild and untamed vibe. It reminds me of those motorcycle riders, clad in leather jackets, traveling the world. They may seem like they have nothing, yet they possess the entire world with just a backpack.

Now, let's take a look at some interesting comments from fragrance enthusiasts.

Forget Misaki:

I usually prefer lighter and fresher fragrances, so most perfumes don't last very long on me. However, in terms of longevity, woody fragrances tend to outlast floral or citrus notes. But let me tell you, the real winner in terms of freshness, longevity, and non-cloying scent is Une Rose by Frederic Malle! Its rose scent is incredibly pure, much like rose essential oil, and most importantly, it lasts for an extraordinary amount of time.

Novich:

When I saw this topic, I knew Epic Woman would be mentioned. It’s hard to describe this fragrance as long-lasting; it feels more like it’s welded onto your skin.
