There are lots of factors to consider when finding the perfect perfume. They range from the combination of notes, the unique flacons, to the intensity of the scent. But, if there’s one thing that many of us look out for is its lasting power.

Let’s be real – perfumes are generally pretty pricey, so finding one that’s a bang for your buck is imperative, especially when you don’t have to consistently keep re-applying it throughout the day. Besides, with most of us leading such busy lifestyles, you’ll want to find one that you can wear all-day, with minimal top-ups.

And while perfumes are quite subjective – some like it a little more floral, while others prefer something a little more woody – we can all agree that we’re always on the hunt for one that lasts.

So which perfume will still linger towards the end of a working day, you might ask? Ahead, we’ve compiled a list of some of the most long-lasting perfumes in the market on our radar.

If you love something that’s woody and floral at the same time, peep MCM’s Ultra Intense Eau de Parfum. This summer-ready fragrance opens with notes of black currant and apple, followed by a fresh and aromatic air of pink pepper. The sweet and rich facet then opens up with floral notes of tuberose and jasmine, juxtaposed with balsamic cedarwood.

Love a scent that you can share with your boyfriend? Check out this unisex scent from Diesel. This relatively new fragrance is made with a unique blend of sustainably sourced ingredients including Bourbon vanilla and Diva lavender heart. At first spritz, the scent comes across as masculine, but as the cool cotton and vanilla accords come out, the scent is a little more universally appealing, making it an excellent option for those who are looking for a gender-fluid scent.
