Why does your perfume fade so quickly?
Fading of your perfumes or fragrances might be due to many factors. Some can be corrected while others are not under your control. The reasons behind your short-lasting perfumes depend on the perfume notes, perfume ingredients, perfume oil concentration, skin type, application of perfume, storage of perfumes, temperature, and age of perfume. Let us decode these factors one by one.
| Perfume notes | Perfume ingredients |
| A perfume note is a particular scent found within a fragrance. The perfume notes are labelled top/head notes, middle/heart notes, and base/dry down notes. The Top notes are the initial scents experienced when the perfume is applied (Ex: Citrus, bergamot, etc). Once it subdues quickly, middle notes scents are noticed (Ex: Rose, Lavender, etc). After this evaporates, the base notes scent offers a long-lasting effect (Example: Vanilla, Musk, etc.). For your next purchase of lasting perfumes, remember to select musky, amber, or woody scents. |
Perfumes are crafted using fragrance families such as floral, fruity, chypre, gourmand, green, animalic, mineral, citrus, oriental, woody, fresh, and spicy. Fragrance families are ingredients that have similar scents. With these ingredients, others such as alcohol, water, small additives like colors, or sometimes preservatives are added too. Choose a perfume with any of the following fragrance families for a lasting effect: woody, oriental, spicy, and chypre. These scents are denser and richer making it stay all day. |

Perfume or fragrance oil concentration:
Always opt for fragrances with a higher concentration of perfume oils, which ensures a stronger projection and slowed evaporation. Based on the concentration of perfume oil, the perfumes are classified as
- Eau de Fraiche (EDF): 1-2%.
- Eau de Cologne (EDC): 2-5%.
- Eau de Toilette (EDT): 5-15%.
- Eau de Parfum (EDP): 15-20%.
- Extrait de Parfum or Parfum: 20-30%.
The bar of staying power or longevity increases with its fragrance oil concentration, Parfum being the highest.
Enjoy extra savings when you shop for lasting perfumes from Arabian Aroma. Our 30 ml variant has 45-50% perfume oil that promises you a stronger projection.
Skin type:-
People with oily skin have an added benefit when it comes to the staying power of perfumes. When sprayed on oily skin, the perfume molecules diffuse easily through your skin. People with dry skin have to hydrate and moisturize well to achieve a lasting effect of perfume. While moisturizing, use unscented ones to capture your perfume’s essence. Remember to moisturize first and then apply perfume.

Application of perfume:
The right application of perfume goes a long way. Always apply your favorite perfume on pulse/ pressure/ heat points such as your neck, inside of your elbows, wrists, back of your knees, etc. These heat points will help to develop and activate the fragrance. Once perfume is sprayed on these points try not to cover it with clothing as this can break the fragrance molecules thereby fading it quickly. Remember to dab or spray, not to rub against the applied area.
Here’s a trick: You can use perfume on your clothing or fabric to add extra life to the perfume. Be cautious while doing this as it can stain your fabric.
Storage of perfume:
Stacking your perfumes in an appropriate place will enhance its effects. Store in a cool, dry space away from sunlight and moisture. As it will degrade the perfume oils affecting its quality, fragrance, and staying power.

Temperature:
Climatic conditions also affect the longevity of your perfume. Sweating a lot in summer will wear off the perfume quickly. Using summer-friendly perfumes with a family of fresh fragrances will help you to counter that effect.

Age of perfume:
Perfumes do expire! Say bye-bye, if your perfume smells weaker and different. This results due to chemical reactions within the fragrances. You will experience nose fatigue when repeating the same perfume for a longer period, your brain will get used to it and barely notice the scent. So, make sure to use your perfumes in rotation.

Which types of perfumes last the longest?
EDP and Parfum fragrances last the longest as they have a higher concentration of perfume oil. Just 2 to 3 sprays are enough for it to last more than 8 hours. EDT perfumes also last for 4 to 8 hours. Whereas, EDF and EDC perfumes require 3 to 4 sprays to last at least 4 hours. If you purchase EDF or EDC perfumes, get a travel-friendly bottle to refresh your perfume.
