Colognes are more than a blend of notes, they are memories trapped in a bottle. A fragrance possesses the power to change your mood, evoke emotions, and bring back memories that were trapped in a corner of your heart. Imagine wearing your favourite scent before stepping out only to notice that it’s disappeared within a couple of hours.
The real test of a fragrance is its longevity. Some scents are not designed to stay longer on the skin and thus, disappear in an hour or two. To know which one has a longer staying power, read the name carefully–the ones with Eau de parfums, parfums, and elixirs in their name have the highest concentration of scent in them. Here’s a list of eight long-lasting fragrances, from classics to luxury.
Burberry Hero EDP
A woody fragrance, this one is a masculine yet modern fragrance with Cedar at base and pine needles at top. It has a perfect blend of spicy, earthy aroma that lingers throughout the day. A scent that easily transitions from day to night, this one is a must have if you like your fragrance to stay.
Davidoff Cool Water Parfum
Fresh, invigorating, and crisp, this one is a classic. Davidoff is a cologne that has been there for decades for a reason–its lingering notes. Engulfing you like an ocean wave, Davidoff Cool Water has citrus and woody notes which you will certainly enjoy if your choice is an iconic pick.
Creed Aventus
