8 perfumes that last all day
Oud Wood (DIVAIN-305)
Oud Wood equivalent is a masculine perfume that, from its top note, bets on high-retention ingredients , such as oud wood. Its base note also uses other very powerful essences such as vanilla, with its aromatic and sweet presence , or amber, a resinous substance with a high concentration of pheromones due to its animal origin.
L'Interdit by Givenchy (DIVAIN-591)
On this occasion we have before us a perfume for women, with a strong, very floral intensity and oriental touches, which materializes in a quite intense aroma with a high fixation.
As a general rule, floral aromas are not excessively strong or long-lasting, as they are highly volatile essences . However, if they are combined with aromas such as patchouli or vanilla, they can enhance their aroma and last longer.
Another of the key elements of L'Interdit by Givenchy similar, which makes it one of the perfumes that last longer, is ambroxan , a molecule derived from ambergris that acts as a fixative for the perfume, increasing its durability throughout the day.
Clinique Aromatics Elixir (DIVAIN-112)
Our equivalent of Aromatics Elixir by Clinique is a complex feminine perfume, with a multitude of contrasts and an explosive combination of mainly floral ingredients, such as rose, lily, ylang ylang or orange blossom.
However, Clinique has opted for an olfactory composition with a 'crescendo' tendency , which increases in intensity as we advance along its olfactory path, until reaching the base chord.
It is in this last stage where we find elements such as musk, sandalwood and vetiver, which act as fixatives and turn the fragrance into a perfume of quite strong and deep intensity.
DIVAIN-608
Without a doubt, the simplest olfactory composition on this list; DIVAIN-608 opts for a minimalist perfume , with three dominant ingredients, but with a very high intensity.
These three main notes are rose, jasmine and musk . As we already know, musk is a component that manages to fix the aroma for much longer, in addition to providing a background that provides a 'clean' sensation.
Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent (DIVAIN-167)
Black Opium by Yves Saint Laurent equivalent is a deep and dark perfume , with an intensity and character not suitable for all types of women; this fragrance has the ability to intoxicate with its aroma and is also one of the longest lasting.
In this case, its deepest notes are found in the base accord, with three ingredients with low volatility and a great capacity to fix the aroma such as vanilla , patchouli and cedar.
Another ingredient that draws attention, also for its ability to add body to the perfume, is coffee, present in the heart accord.
Life is Beautiful by Lancôme (DIVAIN-093)
A perfume that has been on the market for 10 years and continues to reap great success among its most ardent fans, La Vie à Bella by Lancôme exudes enthusiasm, positivity and a desire to live life to the fullest.
It is very sweet in its top and middle notes, with aromas of blackcurrant, pear, orange blossom, iris and jasmine. However, the base notes do not skimp on deep aromas such as vanilla or patchouli.
That is why it is a perfume with a long duration and strong intensity , ideal for winter months or for long days.
Rush by Gucci (DIVAIN-066)
Lovers of fruity and fresh perfumes will be delighted with the inspiration of Rush by Gucci ; a fragrance with body, intensity, sweetness and above all, with a long duration that will last throughout the day.
The key elements that allow this perfume to have a greater fixation are vetiver, a plant whose oil manages to enhance the aroma of the rest of the olfactory notes, and vanilla, a classic element in the creation of fragrances for women due to its natural sweetness and its capacity to fix the aroma.
Extreme Black (DIVAIN-295)
We close this selection of the longest lasting perfumes with a masculine fragrance. A creation inspired by Noir Extrême , with notes of wood and oriental contrasts that give the perfume body and a great capacity for olfactory retention.
The secret of its formula is the use of resins , such as amber and mastic, combined with woody and aromatic notes such as vanilla or sandalwood that maximize its durability.
