Why is longevity so important?
In the world of oriental fragrance, long-lasting performance is not a bonus: it is a cultural expectation. Oriental perfumers have developed specific techniques to ensure fragrances that last 8, 12, or even 24 hours on the skin.
Factors that determine longevity
- Concentration: the more concentrated a fragrance is, the longer it lasts.
- Base notes: oud, amber, musk, and sandalwood evaporate slowly.
- Formulation: perfume oils and attars last longer. Alcohol-free perfumes also offer superior longevity.
Comparison by type
- Lasts 4–6 hours: Oriental eau de parfum
- Lasts 6–10 hours: Oriental perfume extract
- Lasts 10–14 hours: Perfume oil / attar
