Perfume - How long Does It Last On You?
- The lasting power of perfume depends on the amount of alcohol it contains.
- The less alcohol a fragrance has, the longer it will stay with you.
- Typically a fragrance will last 6 to 8 hours, but it all depends on your skin type and the kind of perfume you apply:
- Perfume and parfum – up to 6 hours
- Eau de parfum – 3 to 5 hours
- Eau de toilette – 2 to 4 hours
- Eau de cologne – up to 2 hours
Why Is Alcohol Added To Perfume?
- As alcohol evaporates, it diffuses the scent of your fragrance. That's actually how others know you're wearing perfume.
- Essential oils are used as perfume ingredients. The higher the content of these oils, the more expensive the fragrance will be. Here are some facts about essential oils:
- 50 pounds of Juniper berries produce 1 pound of essential oil
- 80 pounds of rosemary produce 1 pound of essential oil
- 100 pounds of coriander seeds give 1 pound of essential oil
- 200 pounds of lemon zests (where oils are concentrated) turn into 1 pound of essential oil
- Over 250 pounds of lavender flowers make a pound of lavender oil
- It takes 1000 pounds of jasmine to make a pound of jasmine oil
- It takes well over 2240 pounds of rose petals to make a pound of rose oil
- Jasmine, rose and neroli (orange blossom) are among the most costly of all the essential oils. So adding alcohol as an ingredient makes perfume affordable.
