The next time you’re shopping for a new fragrance, consider these tips for choosing the best strong perfume:
Concentration: Perfumes with higher concentrations of fragrance oils typically emit a more potent scent and tend to last longer. For that reason, we’d recommend looking to purchase a parfum or eau de parfum. Just a few spritzes of either type on the pulse points or wrists should be enough to last the entire day. Avoid the lighter eaux de toilette and eaux fraiches; they simply don’t last as long, regardless of how well they project.
Notes: Strong perfumes are a touch more powerful than your average clean or citrusy scents, which isn’t to say they’re bad. In contrast, we enjoy how the strongest perfumes contain an abundance of rich, colorful notes – where each is a flavor on its own, intentionally exaggerated to give that potent edge. Rich floral notes, such as rose, jasmine, and tuberose, are perennial ingredient favorites. They never fail to pack a big floral punch. The longest-lasting scents also feature heavy woody and musky notes. After all, it’s these base notes that linger the longest. Consider fragrances heavy on cedar, oakmoss, and vetiver as well as those with sandalwood, patchouli, resin, and iris.
The strongest perfumes and colognes not only last longer, but emit the most captivating aromas. Here are some of the strongest scents that, over the years, have helped to inspire our creations.
Strong, sweet, yet endlessly classy – we absolutely have to talk about Marc Jacobs’s Daisy Eau So Intense. An updated take on the classic icon, this white floral scent features pink grapefruit, bergamot, violet/jasmine petals, and gardenia. Vanilla and musk provide further depth and power. We’re also all about the iconic Baccarat Rouge 540, crafted by master perfumer Maison Francis Kurkdjian. This super-potent amber/wood fragrance is infused with generous amounts of freshly-cut cedarwood and sweet, earthy ambergris. Perhaps just a little smoky and spicy, too. Also check out Armani’s Acqua Di Gioia, a delightful combination of fruit and peony set against a landscape of fresh ocean air and earthy goodness. And finally, Dior’s Homme Intense will most definitely turn heads no matter where you go. With an essence that’s all-parts exotic, floral, and sensual, this fragrance has just about the courtesy and presence of an expensive jewelry box. In other words, it’s profoundly rich and heavy – just what you want for a long night out.
It can be difficult to find a strong, long-lasting perfume. Especially for those of us who are on a budget. The cheaper perfumes last just a few hours, and the premium perfumes might last all day – but it’s never a guarantee.
