Factors that affect the duration of a perfume:
Type of skin
As we have said before, every skin is different, and its pH has a direct impact on how a fragrance smells. Therefore no one's perfume smells the same, and the intensity and duration of the scent can also vary. In this sense, diet can also have an influence.
**Quality of the ingredients *
Inevitably the quality of the oils and ingredients that make a perfume are key in determining how long it lasts. The percentage of alcohol will affect the duration, it evaporates sooner and will make the perfume last less, but the purity and quality of the ingredients will make a difference.
*Main notes and olfactory family *
The composition of a perfume, with its notes and especially their olfactory families, will impact the duration of a fragrance on the skin over time. There are notes that develop quickly from the top to the base notes, which means that the perfume will stay in the skin and last longer. On the other hand, there are other notes that tend to dissipate or disappear quickly.
The way you apply the perfume
It is possible that the way you wear your perfume affects how long a fragrance lasts on your skin and how it is perceived by others. Taking advantage of the hot spots on your body and playing with your clothes or hair can help with the longevity of the perfume.
*How perfume is preserved **
The way you keep a fragrance can affect not only its scent but also its fixation on the skin and therefore its durability. Having a perfume in very high temperatures, in bright light or unsealed will cause its scent to change and possibly spoil it.
But let's not forget that sometimes we can have the impression that a perfume does not smell because our nose has become accustomed to its fragrance, it is normal, in fact here you can read about this phenomenon. We do not all develop our sense of smell in the same way and this can make us perceive a perfume and its nuances in more or less detail.
