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.
