Fragrance FAQ’s

Are your perfumes authentic?

Yes, all perfumes at LastingPerfume.com are 100% original and brand new. We purchase directly from manufacturers or authorized dealers, and every fragrance comes in its original manufacturer packaging.

Why are your perfume prices lower compared to big retailers?

We believe fragrance is for everyone. At big retailers, perfumes are often overpriced. To solve this, we buy directly in bulk from manufacturers or authorized distributors. Plus, we don’t carry the heavy expenses of large retail chains, so we pass the savings directly on to you.

What is the difference between Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, and Eau de Cologne?

The difference lies in fragrance oil concentration, which impacts strength and longevity:

  • Parfum (15–25% perfume oil): Strongest and longest-lasting fragrance.

  • Eau de Parfum (8–15% perfume oil): Long-lasting, slightly lighter than Parfum.

  • Eau de Toilette (4–10% perfume oil): Fresher, lighter, perfect for everyday use.

  • Eau de Cologne (2–5% perfume oil): Light and refreshing, lasts 2–3 hours.

  • Eau Fraîche (3% or less perfume oil): Very subtle, quick fading fragrance.

What are fragrance notes?

Perfumes are built in layers called notes:

  • Top Notes: The first impression after application, lasting 5–25 minutes.

  • Middle Notes (Heart): Define the fragrance family (floral, oriental, etc.), appear after 15–30 minutes.

  • Base Notes: The longest-lasting foundation (musk, vanilla, woods, patchouli).

What is a tester perfume?

Tester perfumes are 100% genuine and unused. They usually come in plain packaging (white or brown box) without decorative retail boxes. Some testers may not include caps, but the fragrance and bottle are the same as the retail version—just offered at a lower price.

How can I make my fragrance last longer?

  • Use matching shower gel or body lotion for layering.

  • Apply on pulse points (neck, wrists, behind ears).

  • Spray on clothes or lower body for longer diffusion.

How do I choose the right perfume for myself?

For Women:

  • Office or Day Wear: Go for soft floral scents like rose, jasmine, or peony—light and elegant.

  • Casual & Social Events: Sweet and fruity perfumes with vanilla, berries, or peaches create a playful, youthful vibe.

  • Evening or Formal Occasions: Deeper, sensual fragrances with amber, musk, sandalwood, or patchouli add confidence and charm.

For Men:

  • Fresh Daytime Style: Choose clean and energetic notes like citrus, aquatic, or light spices (lemon, bergamot, marine).

  • Bold Evening Wear: Go for intense, masculine scents with woods, leather, musk, or warm spices for a powerful impression.
