5 Long-Lasting Fragrances That Take You From Day to Night

Everybody loves a nice fragrance, as it can affect the way you carry yourself, and when you smell good, it makes you feel confident. But the issue is finding one that actually lasts throughout the day. You could have a long day at work, run a few errands and still have evening plans, only to realize that the fragrance you sprayed in the morning has faded. And nobody wants to keep checking if they can still smell their perfume or carry an extra bottle everywhere just to reapply.

Of course, there is no fragrance that can guarantee the exact same level of scent from morning until night. How long it lasts can depend on things like the fragrance concentration, how it is applied, your skin chemistry and even the weather. Still, fragrances with higher concentrations, such as Eau de Parfum and Extrait de Parfum, offer more staying power than lighter formulas.

So, if you are looking for a fragrance that can stay with you through the day and still work for evening plans, we have rounded up five options worth considering.

Parfums de Marly Delina Eau de Parfum

Long-lasting perfumes do not always have to be strong or overly intense and Delina is a good example of that, with its feminine fruity and rosy scent. From the first spray, you get a fresh, slightly sweet smell from the bergamot, lychee and rhubarb, while the rose becomes noticeable as the fragrance settles. If you prefer something more floral and feminine Delina is one to consider.

Khamrah is one of those fragrances that lasts longer while still being budget-friendly. It has a warm, sweet and spicy scent and the opening note combines cinnamon, nutmeg and bergamot. As it dries down, the vanilla becomes more noticeable, giving it a warmer and softer smell.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait

Baccarat Rouge 540 became one of those fragrances that seemed to be everywhere after its original Eau de Parfum became widely. The Extrait retains that familiar scent profile but with a deeper take on the original combination. Maison Francis Kurkdjian describes the Extrait as a long-lasting fragrance.

It combines Grandiflorum jasmine, bitter almond and ethyl maltol, with an ambergris accord and woody, musky notes underneath. The result is floral, ambery and woody.

BYREDO Mojave Ghost Absolu

Mojave Ghost Absolu is for anyone who already likes the original Mojave Ghost but wants something more intense. BYREDO created the Absolu version with a stronger woody side, inspired by the Mojave Desert and the ghost flower that grows in its harsh conditions.

The fragrance contains notes of pear, ambrette, violet, magnolia and sandalwood. Cedarwood, vetiver, amber and musk are also part of it, giving this version more depth and a stronger woody side.

Burberry Goddess Eau de Parfum

Burberry Goddess fragrance is built around vanilla. It combines three different vanilla notes with lavender, giving the scent a sweet but aromatic character. There is vanilla infusion and lavender at the opening, followed by vanilla caviar, while vanilla absolute gives the fragrance its base.

Burberry also offers a matching body lotion and shower gel, so you can layer the fragrance with the same scent and make it part of your everyday routine.
