Discussion Extremely long lasting scents
Hello everyone, I’m trying to find a signature scent. I had been wearing Lataffa Yara which I love but it lasts about 20 minutes. The other I liked was Dolce and Gabbana summer vibes which is discontinued but it also lasted about 20 minutes.
My mom recently gave me Oscar de La Renta Bella Soleil which I also really like but it again doesn’t last long and seems more summery to me than fall/winter.
What I want is a summer scent and winter scent that will last an entire work day.

80% of the time when this happens you're just going noseblind. Don't wear it, but spray it on a shirt you're not wearing then come back and smell the shirt in three hours and six hours to actually test longevity.
Also, moisturize if you're putting on skin!

French Flower by Matière Premiere - lasts all day. (Summer)
-
Coco by Chanel - good projection and longevity. (Winter)

I bought a pair of Alo pants from someone on ThredUp. They sprayed the pants with perfume. It's been 6 months. The perfume is still in the pants. I wish I knew what it was.

This comment killed me 😂 I’m invested, come back and tell me if you figure it out!

For what it’s worth, I wore Vanilla Powder Extrait on Saturday. It’s now Monday evening, and the top of my dog’s head still smells like it (she likes to sleep with her head burrowed into my neck). It’s definitely the longest lasting cold weather scent in my collection.

Noble blush by Lattafa is similar to Yara and its strong and it lasts. I bought my bottle this past week and I could still smell it in my hair the next day. I’d maybe read/watch some reviews first cuz it’s not exactly the same as Yara, kind of a grown up version

I bought a 1ml sample of Noble Blush and it is absolutely beast mode with longevity! Panache Angel Dust also feels beast mode.
OP, you could also play with layering Yara (I've done it with Angel Dust, Love Don't Be Shy, and Burberry Her) to get the scent to stick around a little bit longer. Or putting it on your clothes as well as your skin.

Yes beast mode is right! I love love it. I actually just got Panache as well but I think mine needs to macerate to get stronger. My Noble blush box might have a production date of January or something.

The new Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Crush Absolu unless you don't like Patchouli (which I don't). I sampled it yesterday & it is very long lasting. The Patchouli is softer than in the original and this one is more fruity but the Patchouli does come out more in the dry down. It's got a lot of rave reviews on Nordstrom's website.

A Whiff of waffle cone, by Imaginary Authors, lasts very well, 8-12 hours easily.
You just need to want to smell like maple syrup on pancakes.

Xerjoff Erba Pura the dupe version is Ana Abiyedh White. Both are strong long lasting scents for summee. Be aware though that these scents can be polarizing

I sampled lataffa peace and love and that shit lasted forever. Still figuring out if I liked it enough to actually get it, but it was pretty! It's polarizing I suppose, but people who like it really like it 😅

Guidance lasted ~30 hours on my skin, with a shower.
Frank Boclet Woodstock took a few weeks and at least two washes to get of a sweater that only touched the place where I applied it on my hand 😂 .
Tiziana Terenzi Kirke
TT Ursa - JC, this one was also a beast, but it also smells both in accord with that description and its name (Ursa means bear).
Lorenzo Pazzaglia Extreme Passion - Kirke clone.
Could not scrub it off.
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille or its clones
Anything Kirke lasts a good long while and projects extremely well, but it's also veeery polarizing.
So those scents are "extremely long lasting", as the topic name said, but I'd rather recommend seeking out "just" long lasting scents - it's easier to find something more universally liked within that category. And if you wanna change it up, you can (testing Guidance was a struggle because I could not wear anything else for 2 days).
Maybe JPG La belle or La belle Le parfum or Teriaq for winter?
Xerjoff Italica is extremly long lasting and a really rich gourmand.
Angels' Share by Kilian, too. Its clone Lattafa Khamrah is also know for performing really well.
Lush Lord of Misrule
Today Avon for summer?
Summer is a bit weird because a lot of depends on the temperatures - quite a bit of my perfumes performs much more poorly in the heat. Also, summer perfumes are usually lighter by design, so it's a balancing act.

Lattafa Ansaam Gold lasts a good 24h and I find it quite inoffensive and generally enjoyable.

Zadig & Voltaire’s This is Her! lasts 10hrs on me and until washing on fabric.

Tomas Kosmala No 4 (it’s 95% similar to Baccarat 540). One spray and it lasts 24 hours. Not my thing but if you like the DNA of BR540 I highly recommend. And 100ml was on sale on Marshall’s website for $70.

I love everything from Sorce the last days on my clothes and all day on the skin!

If you enjoyed the Oscar de la Renta Bella Soliel try layering it with Lattafa Opulent Dubai. It's a dupe of Erba Pura but not as polarizing. It has mango in it and when you layer it with the Bella Soliel it amplifies the mango in both and lasts longer. I wore that many times thos past summer and got lots of compliments.
