Does your Perfume Have These Ingredients? Natural Aromatic Ingredients Every Long-Lasting Perfume Should Have

If the fragrance of your perfume doesn’t last long—it has little to no value—even if it smells heavenly.

Fragrances play a critical role in our daily lives. We use fragrances to lift our spirits and smell good. When you are purchasing a new fragrance, you would expect the scent to last more than just an hour or two. Right? That is why you should shop for perfumes containing natural ingredients that can make the fragrance linger longer. Below are some natural aromatic ingredients that every long-lasting perfume should have.

Oud or Agarwood

This aromatic perfume ingredient goes into the making of expensive perfumes and has been in use for centuries. Oud has a unique fragrance that can influence other perfume notes, making them last longer. It is also one of the world’s most long-lasting ingredients used in perfumes. The earthy and attractive aroma of oud is perfect for bold personalities.

Jasmine

This sweet-smelling flower is commonly used in most perfumes crafted for women. In perfume-making and the fragrance industry, jasmine is considered one of the foundation notes and is called ‘La Fleur’ or ‘The Flower’. There are approximately 200 varieties of this flower, but all the extracts do not have the same appeal. Only two varieties of jasmine—Jasminum grandiflorum and Sambac Jasmine—are the prominent types, popularly used in long-lasting scents.

Citrus

Citrus has a distinct natural aroma and a mesmerizing effect on people. Fresh and clean, citrus represents a long list of fruity-smelling raw ingredients. Of all the citrus ingredients, lemongrass has been an age-old ingredient in perfume-making. Some of the latest additions include yuzu, hassaku, and grapefruit. Orange blossom is one of the most common citrus notes that can last several hours, even if used in the opening.

Sandalwood

Apart from being a fixative, this ingredient is also used as a captivating base note. The enduring fragrance of sandalwood combines well with various other spices like lavender and clove. Nearly 50 percent of women’s perfume exudes the creamy aroma of sandalwood, and it blends incredibly well with most floral notes. Any fragrance crafted with sandalwood as a base note will swear to last beyond a few hours.

Patchouli

Woody aromas dominate the world of perfume ingredients with their lasting scent. Just one drop of patchouli oil can exude a fragrance that will linger for months. The woody and earthy aroma of patchouli is not extracted from any wood; instead, the leaves of a tropical Indian bush produces it. 

If you want your perfume to last long, look for these natural ingredients.
