What makes a fragrance last longer?


The longevity of a fragrance depends on several factors, all working together:
  • The quality of the raw materials — The choice, purity, and olfactive characteristics of each ingredient play an important role in the fragrance’s performance and evolution on skin.
  • The concentration of fragrance ingredients — The higher the concentration of aromatic materials in a formula, the greater the potential for intensity and lasting power, although concentration alone does not guarantee longevity.
  • The climate — Temperature and humidity can influence how fragrance molecules evaporate and develop. A perfume can behave very differently in a hot, dry, humid, or cold environment.
  • Your skin’s individual chemistry — Every person’s skin is unique. Factors such as skin pH, hydration, and natural oils can interact differently with fragrance molecules, influencing how a perfume smells and how long it lasts.

The same fragrance can smell—and last—differently on every person.
That’s part of what makes perfume so personal: the fragrance meets your skin, your environment, and your own unique chemistry to create an experience that is truly yours.
