What Makes a Perfume Long-Lasting?
The longevity of a perfume primarily depends on its concentration. The higher the percentage of fragrance oils, the more intense and long-lasting the scent. There are four main concentrations:
-
Extrait de Parfum (20-40% fragrance oils): The most intense and long-lasting concentration. A single application often lasts 12 hours or more.
-
Eau de Parfum (15-20% fragrance oils): Very long-lasting, ideal for all-day wear. Typically lasts 6-10 hours.
-
Eau de Toilette (5-15% fragrance oils): Lighter and fresher, lasts 3-6 hours.
-
Eau de Cologne (2-5% fragrance oils): The lightest concentration, ideal for summer.
At DFP, you will mainly find Extrait de Parfum and Eau de Parfum - the most long-lasting concentrations.

Tips for Greater Longevity
-
Apply to pulse points: Wrists, neck, and inner elbows - where body heat is highest and activates the scent.
-
On damp skin: Applied after a shower, perfume lasts significantly longer.
-
Do not rub: Simply spray on the fragrance and let it dry - rubbing destroys the scent notes.
-
Unscented body lotion underneath: A neutral lotion as a base noticeably extends longevity.
