How to Choose the Right Long-Lasting Perfume
When shopping for longevity, keep these tips in mind:
- Eau de Parfum (EDP) lasts longer than Eau de Toilette (EDT) — always prefer EDP for all-day wear
- Oriental and oud-based fragrances naturally last longer than citrus or fresh scents
- Apply to pulse points — wrists, neck, behind ears — for maximum projection
- Don’t rub your wrists together — it breaks down the fragrance molecules
- Moisturized skin holds fragrance better — apply unscented lotion first
