Perfume (Parfum) - Perfume that stays on the whole day

Trouble finding a perfume that stays on for the whole day and right for your function?

Do you have trouble finding a perfume that stays on for the whole day? I have bought and tried so many different perfume (they all smell nice) but only a few of them does stay on! I love to use different perfume to match with my clothes and my mood. Sometimes it is hard to find a perfume that is right for you, since all perfume works differently on different people. Anyhow, see below for my top picks for perfume. They all work very good on me... and smell very good too. :) I hope you would like my recommendations! (By the way, I love to buy my perfume online, as it is usually much cheaper, and sometimes you can find online stores which offers free shipping, which is even better! Sometimes I like to go to outlet to buy perfume too, since their prices are unbeatable! Unfortunately they do not have all brands I love!)

1) Christian Dior J'Adore Eau De Parfum Spray

I love this perfume! Whenever I wore it, I will get compliments from people - both men and women. And the best thing is, it does stay on for a long time. I put it on early in the morning for work, and can still smell it late afternoon. It blends with Mandarin, Champaca Flowers, Ivy, African Orchid, Rose, Violet, Damascus Plum, Amaranth Wood and Blackberry Musk notes. I love its feminine floral smell, very pleasant, not too sweet nor too strong. I do think it is suitable for both work, dates and evenings, both summer and winter. I love it!

2) Ralph Lauren - Lauren Style Eau de Parfum Spray

I just recently add this one to my perfume collection and everyone loves this scent on me too. Its lightly sweet floral scent stays on a long time. I would say Laurent Style is not as strong as J'Adore but surprisingly it stays on for the whole day too. It blends with Kumquat, Lime, Tangerine, Bulgarian Rose, Nectarine Blossom, Orange Blossom, Violet Leaves, Gardenia, Jasmine, Tuberose, Hedione, Magnolia, Patchouli, Suede Note, Woods, Skin Musk 2000, Heliotrope, Benzoin and Vanilla notes. I love its feminine scent, it smells so good. I will use it in both summer and winter. It might be too light for a formal evening event. I would wear it for work and dates. Anyhow, I love Lauren Style.

3) Gucci Envy Eau De Toilette Spray

This is another perfume I love that will stay for the whole day. I do think it stays for a very long time for a Eau De Toilette Spray. However, I don't know why I do not like to wear it in the summer; I only wear it in the winter. I do think Envy is less feminine than the rest of the perfume I talk about on this page. Don't worry, it is nothing like those unisex perfume, just a bit less sweet than the rest. It does have a very refreshing scent. I would wear it for both daytimes or evenings. It blends with Hyacinth, Magnolia, Vine Flower, Flower Violet, Jasmine, Lily of the Valley, Musk and Iris notes.

4) Lacome Miracle Eau de Parfum Spray

I love Lancome's Miracle! I remembered one time I got a sample from purchasing Lancome's cosmetics and I have loved this perfume since. It smells so good. I love its feminine and light floral scent, very refreshing! It blends with the Freesia, Jasmine, Magnolia and Lychee, while amber permeates the floral heart. Yes, I got compliments from wearing Miracle too. People will ask me what perfume I am wearing. However, it works weirdly for me. Sometimes it does stay on for a very long time, sometimes I can no longer smells it in the afternoon. It stayed on my friend for a whole day though. I guess it is different for different people! I do wear it for work and dates.


5) Clinique Happy Eau de Parfum Spray

I really do feel happy when I wear this perfume! This perfume makes me feel energetic and refreshing. It is priced very reasonably (much cheaper than the rest) and at the same time stays on for a long time (the whole day) for me. Its fruity floral scent is perfect for young and active women. It blends Bergamot, Boysenberry, Honeyuckle, Bushflower, Grapefruit and Moss, with a base note of Freesia, Lemon and Hawaiian Wedding flower. I do wear it for dates and work. I would think it is not formal enough for an evening event.

6) Lanvin Eclat D'Arpege Eau De Parfum Spray

I really love the scent of this perfume! I remember one time I smelt it in the department store, I fell in love with the scent and kept on dreaming about buying it! I didn't buy it on the spot as it was very expensive. When it was first introduced in Canada a few years ago, the 100 ml spray was selling for $150 CAD plus taxes. I was so glad that I found it online later for half the price. It is its light floral scent that attracted me. It blends with the Sicilian Lemon Leaves, Lilac Green, Wisteria Flowers, Green Tea Flowers, Peach Flowers, Red Peony, Chinese Osmanthus, White Cedar of Lebanon, Musk and Amber notes. Although it smells so good, it doesn't stay on very long for me. :( I will still buy this perfume (online only, not in stores) since I really love the scent! At least I will smell very good for the whole morning! Oh well, sometimes it does stay longer than that.
