Best Long Lasting Colognes

Maison Francis Kurkdjian (MFK) Oud Satin Mood and Baccarat Rouge 540 Extrait de Parfum are highly praised for longevity [2:5].
Amouage fragrances consistently offer strong performance [1:3], [4:3].
Montale Intense Cafe and Initio Oud For Greatness are noted for their powerful projection and lasting power [2:1].

Extraits and High Concentration Fragrances

Extraits, which are higher concentration versions of perfumes, generally provide better longevity. Brands like Maison Francis Kurkdjian (MFK), BDK, and Louis Vuitton have extrait collections that are known for their long-lasting properties [1:1]. MFK's Oud Satin Mood Extrait de Parfum is specifically mentioned as lasting over 12 hours on the skin [2:2].

Amouage Fragrances

Amouage is a brand frequently recommended for its above-average performance in terms of longevity and projection. Their special concentration versions are particularly noted for lasting longer [1:3], [4:3]. This makes them a reliable choice for those seeking colognes that endure throughout the day.

Montale and Initio

Montale's Intense Cafe and Initio's Oud For Greatness are highlighted as colognes with significant projection and lasting power. These fragrances are described as "beasts" due to their strength and ability to linger [2:1], [2:6]. Users mention needing multiple showers to remove Montale Red Tobacco, emphasizing its persistence [2:10].

Other Notable Options

Several other colognes are mentioned across discussions for their longevity and appeal. Paco Rabanne's 1 Million Elixir Parfum Intense [5:1] and Terre d’Hermes Parfum [2:7] are recommended for their enduring scent profiles. Maison Crivelli's Hibiscus Mahajad is noted for its strong projection and sweet floral fragrance, suitable for both men and women [4:1].

Considerations Beyond Recommendations

While these recommendations provide a solid starting point, it is important to consider personal preferences in scent profile and budget constraints. Sampling these fragrances before purchasing can ensure they align with your desired olfactory experience. Additionally, checking reviews and performance feedback can help gauge how these colognes might interact with different skin types and environments.

ORIGINAL POST

Laying aside the question of how good something smells what are some of the better performing colognes on the market?

The reason I ask is because I’ve smelled quite a bit of fragrances lately. I ordered the creed sample pack, bought a few other colognes, etc. so far I’ve been happy with what I’ve tried. But now I want to know what are some decent smelling colognes that also perform extremely well.

Bonus points if it smells good and performs well.

My performance, I mean how long it lasts.

Help me narrow down my options

Posted by iSynaxari · in r/Colognes · 3 months ago

Im new to the cologne world and after doing some scent testing at Ulta, I've found a solid bunch that I enjoy. Now I just need to narrow it down. I currently own Gucci Guilty Black (disappointing performance), ADG Parfum, Dylan Blue Pour Homme, Nautica Voyage, CK Euphoria, and Jimmy Choo Aqua (also disappointing performance). I'm looking for 2 or 3 of the ones posted to help round out my collection a little bit as well as potentially removing any poor performing ones. They need to last at least 4 hours for me to considering buying. I would greatly appreciate everyone's input! Prices in the images can be ignored as I will almost certainly be buying elsewhere.

You'll need to specify what it smells of.

Cologne/perfume smells comes in hundreds of forms, in various concentrations and with millions of different scents.

In general, the way it works is that some notes will last longer than others, for example citrus notes don't last long, no matter how high the perfume-oil concentration is, but woody notes, ambery notes, and warmer notes tend to last longer. So there's both the perfume oil concentration which is going to prolong its performance, but also the type of notes.

so... Specify some things you'd like it to smell of, and I'll find something for you.

b00biesrfun · OP · 6 months ago

So lately I’ve been wearing scents that have like a spice and vanilla scent or cedar and cypress. I love the scents but feel like they are cheaper colognes so the long last effects is what it lacks. Today I sampled a few at our local mall and enjoyed the Messi cologne but I feel after a few hours the scent is practically gone.

1 upvotes on reddit

Crusty_Dingleberries · 6 months ago

Cheap doesn't always mean that it's shortlived, but there's often a correlation. just not always.

If you like spice and vanilla, Babycat from YSL might be up your alley - that's a mix of peppercorns, suede, vanilla and resins, kind of like a spicy vanilla. It is not at all woody or cypressy, so it's mostly vanilla-like and well suited for colder weathers.

Here are some other recommendations that lean more on the woody side, or has a lot of spices.

Ormonde Man - Ormonde Jayne - very wood forward, black hemlock and cedar.
Guerlain - Héritage EdP. (very complex, woody and spicy, with some hints of floral aspects. It's kind of old-school with a lot more body than normal old-school fragrances)
Guerlain - Habit Rouge Parfum (basically just vanilla and spiced rum, with some woody backing)
BVLGARI Man - Wood Essence (wood focused, simple, fresh opening)
Rogue Perfumery - Mousse Illuminee (more old-school, moss-heavy, but still has some woody aspects)
Costume National Homme (mostly warm spices like cloves, cinnamon, cardamom etc. but also some woody notes like sandalwood. this exists in both normal and parfum version. both are good)
Dirty Hinoki - Heretic Parfum (very woods based, mix of different woods with a more complex dry-down)
Acqua Viva - Profumum Roma (pretty expensive, simple but fresh and woody)
AquaFlor Firenze - Vertiver (vetiver focused with a lot of lemon-oily qualities)
Lalique - Pour Homme (Lion) - mostly lavender, sandalwood, rosemary and oakmoss, but also has some cedar notes in there.

For something more long lasting, look into fragrance oils. Cologne is just fragrance oil mixed with alcohol. The alcohol pulls the fragrance from the oil making it smell stronger, but it causes it to wear off faster.

Skin and hydration tips aside… The reality is most warm weather Freshies that you really like may not last or project in the winter, and most “beast mode “long lasting fragrances maybe too much for summer. So you may have to pick something that you’re not in love with, but that is OK to get that middle ground.And I’m not necessarily recommending it but just for an example something like Gucci guilty elixir. It’s not earth shattering, but to me it’s not offensive or too light but it definitely lasts a long time. There’s other things out there as well, but this was just an example.

Hello! I’m in search of a masculine, long-lasting cologne, perfume, body spray. Everything I’ve found fades by the time I get to work (10 minute commute). I’m not saying I want to fumigate my office space, but something a little more long-lasting would be nice. Like: clean, fresh, sweet scents Dislikes: musk, amber, woodsy Thanks in advance!

If you've got the cash to throw around, I suggest giving Black Phoenix Alchemy Laboratory's catalogue a look-through.

best long lasting colognes

Key Considerations for Long-Lasting Colognes:

Concentration: Look for higher concentrations of fragrance oils, such as Eau de Parfum (EDP) or Parfum, which typically last longer than Eau de Toilette (EDT) or Eau de Cologne.
Fragrance Notes:
- Base Notes: Scents like amber, musk, vanilla, and woods tend to last longer on the skin.
- Middle Notes: Spicy and floral notes can also contribute to longevity.
- Top Notes: Citrus and light floral scents usually fade quickly.
Skin Type: Oily skin tends to hold fragrances longer than dry skin. Consider applying lotion before spraying cologne to enhance longevity.
Application Method: Apply cologne to pulse points (wrists, neck, behind ears) and consider layering with matching body products for enhanced staying power.

Recommendations for Long-Lasting Colognes:

Creed Aventus: Known for its unique blend of pineapple, birch, and musk, it offers a sophisticated scent that lasts all day.
Tom Ford Noir Extreme: A warm, spicy fragrance with notes of amber and vanilla, perfect for evening wear and special occasions.
Dior Sauvage: A fresh and spicy scent with bergamot and pepper, known for its impressive longevity and versatility.
Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de l'Homme: A warm and sensual fragrance with cardamom and cedar, ideal for evening wear.
Chanel Bleu de Chanel: A fresh, woody scent that combines citrus and incense, offering a sophisticated and long-lasting option.

Takeaway: When selecting a long-lasting cologne, prioritize concentration, fragrance notes, and your skin type. Testing fragrances on your skin before purchasing can help you find the best match for longevity and personal preference.
