What scents last the longest on you?

Thread Starter 
I occasionally hear some people say they get "beast mode" longevity on some frags. This could be common for the fragrance or uncommon, doesn't really matter. I'd like to know which fragrances last the longest on your skin?

For me, it's Tobacco Vanille (easily 10-12 hours) and Memoir Man (nearly 24 hours).

I agree with you on Tobacco Vanille. In fact, at the moment i'm finding it a bit too strong (and loud). I'll keep it, but i'm definitely going to have to experiment on my usage. This thing is a monster!

Angel Men Pure Leather. Lasts 12-16 hours on me. For whatever reason it lasts longer on me than the original Angel Men does.

Same here.


Also:

The above-mentioned frags last 12+ hours on me, especially the M7.

24 Gold..not only does it last, but it smells exactly the same until it dies a slow agonizing death.

LIDGE, LDDM.

But I seem to get 8-10 hours from most scents. Usually with just 2-3 sprays to the chest.

Dior Leather Oud, Amouage Memoir Man, Chanel Coromandel, Le Labo Santal 33, Montale Dark Aoud. All of these persist frighteningly long for me.

As others have said, leathers do really well on me (especially Bandit and Rien). Also immortelle (Sables, 1740), and some of the Amouage attars (Tribute, Molook)

That title still goes to A*Men. It's the only one I can still smell the next morning

Romeo Gigli Sud Est.

36 hours easily. Very potent too. I own many powerhouses but that one really makes me pause before spraying.

This stuff, L’Occitane en Provence Immortelle de Corse. I could not believe that I could still smell it on my skin 3 days afterwards - and yes I do wash everyday.

I didn't buy it and I don't even know whether it's still available. Immortelle does seem very tenacious from what people are saying here (about Sables)
