9 Best Long-Lasting Perfumes That I Promise Stay All Day
"It opens with cardamom and a touch of citrus, before settling into that signature milky chai accord – think soft spices and warmth rather than anything too sharp or overpowering. The sandalwood in the base is what really gives it staying power, creating that clean, skin-hugging finish that lingers for hours.“On me, it wears quite close to the skin but lasts well throughout the day. Despite being a spiced scent, I love how light it is, making it a favourite fragrance of mine for summer.”Top notes: Cardamom, citrus.Middle notes: Masala chai, spices, milk.Base notes: Sandalwood, musk.Why we love it: "Fuelled by spicy saffron, this iconic fragrance from YSL features notes of ginger, honey, vanilla and lavender to create the depth and intensity we all desire. This empowering scent is bold and unapologetic, which is perfect for giving you an extra boost in confidence ahead of an evening out. It’s bold, warm and instantly recognisable, with that signature bourbon vanilla note giving it a rich, slightly spicy edge from the first spritz."The opening feels bright thanks to mandarin and bergamot, but it quickly deepens into thick spiced scent. Lavender and orange blossom bring a softness through the middle, before it settles into a properly indulgent base of bourbon vanilla, honey and tonka bean. The result is sweet, but not overly so – it’s balanced with enough warmth and depth to keep it feeling sophisticated.“What really makes it stand out, though, is the intensity. This is a perfume that lasts. It clings to skin, lingers on clothes, and leaves a noticeable trail without needing to over-apply: exactly what you want from a long-lasting evening fragrance. I've been reaching for it as my go-to for every night out and date night for the past three years – so much so that it has become my signature. If a bottle ever lands on the Glamour beauty desk, the team know to pass it onto me.”
