On my skin, L'Homme by Lanvin is a long laster. I'm frequently surprised at the sillage I get at the end of the day leaving the office.

Anything you can get in EdP as opposed to EdT should last a while too: HM by Hanae Mori for example. That's a bit on the sweet side though and you might find it too cloying in a warm environment.

Hope this helps

I would like to welcome you to basenotes as I see that it is your first post. I hope you find this site informative and friendly as I have over the year.

I would say that Cool Water is a great one for me. It lasts forever on my skin and it is so pleasing to the nose that I don't mind at all. Others include Chrome and Live Jazz. I hope yyou find something you like.

Everyone has different skin chemistry so trying them out on your own skin would be ideal. That way you could find something you like and make sure it lasts for you own skin type.

I live in a warm Asian climate and I would definitely second Lanvin L'Homme. It doesn't get cloying in the heat and it lasts beautifully. Another good one would be Chromeby Azzaro--light and lasts well. If you want something with more power, Le Dandy by D'Orsay works great, too, but you have to go light in application.

Not as long lasting but ok is Live Jazz by YSL.

Swiss Army, Paco Rabanne PH, Paco Rabanne XS, Gucci Envy (YES!, it does smell good even in the summer temperature, but try it out for yourself first) and Open (by roger and gallet) come to mind immediately. With some research, and looking at the basenoters previous posts, you'll get a lot more information. Welcome to Basenotes.

Armani pour homme is very long-lasting on my skin (close to 9 hours in summer), and probably suits warm weather, if you're looking for a fresh scent.

thanks radix023, EnvYuS, foetidus, AK3D, Belial for your replies. appreciate it.

i already have coolwater and heard some good things about Chrome by Azzaro. yet to try that. also i checked Lanvin L'homme but says its a EdT and not EdP.

can someone tellme the difference between EdT and EdP and how it differs? radix mentioned that EdP should last longer.

also its there specific way you people apply the perfume to have a long lasting effect.

thanks for your response.

the only thing that lasts on me is Dunhill Desire Red, it is rather fruity as well, try it.

Definetely Azzaro Chrome!
Another good suggestions would be Polo Black, Polo Blue, Cool water deep and aramis Life.
