Key Components for Long-Lasting Perfume

The main components that make a perfume long-lasting like counter-brand fragrances are ingredients that act as fixatives or are part of the base notes in the perfume structure.

Fixatives and base notes are ingredients with a low evaporation rate, allowing the scent to remain on the skin or clothes for a longer time. They help anchor the more volatile ingredients (top and middle notes), giving the perfume depth and scent longevity throughout the wear time.

Examples of ingredients that can help increase perfume longevity include:

• Natural Extracts: Such as Styrax Resinoid, Labdanum Absolute, Tuberose Absolute, Treemoss Resinoid, which often have deep and long-lasting aromas.
• Synthetic Aroma Chemicals: Such as Alpha-ionone (provides violet/woody notes), Benzophenone (can be used as a fixative aid), Vetimoss (provides mossy/woody notes), Cassiffix (provides blackcurrant notes), Traseolide and Delta-muscenone (provide musk notes).

Combining these ingredients in appropriate proportions with other perfume components will help create a fragrance with scent complexity and longevity comparable to counter-brand perfumes.
