10 Attractive and Long-lasting Scents

Did you all know that some ingredients in perfumes can help make the scent attractive and can also help the scent last longer? Perfume is also considered clothing. Apart from clothes, make-up, and hairstyles, the scent can also enhance your confidence.

Perfume is not only for fragrance but also determines our personality and mood. Same as choosing clothes, everyone wants clothes that match their own to express identity. Many people want a long-lasting scent to wear all day, so today we will introduce ingredients from natural extracts to increase the scent to last longer.

1. Jasmine
Jasmine gives off a sweet scent, which is an extract often found in women’s perfumes. Jasmine is one of the basic notes in perfumery. Therefore, it is called ‘La Fleur’ or flower in the perfume world. There are more than 200 species of jasmine, but only two main species are used in perfumery which are Jasminum Grandiflorum and Sambac Jasmine. Jasminum Grandiflorum is grown in Grasse, a city nestled between the sea and mountains in the beautiful country of France. There is a favorable climate like sunlight for a long time, rain in a short period, and fertile soil suitable for growing this type of flower. Another species is Sambac Jasmine, also known as Grand Duke of Tuscany or Arabian jasmine. Jasmine is considered to be one of the most expensive extracts because it takes approximately 8000 flowers to make one milliliter of the perfume. Another reason why they are so expensive is that they must be picked by hand because the flowers are very delicate and may get bruised.

2. Oud (Agarwood)
Oud or Agarwood is one of the expensive perfume ingredients as well. In Thai medicinal recipes, this scent is praised as being “The King of Fragrances” because agarwood has a very strong scent, so it can last longer when used as an ingredient in perfumes. This scent is perfect for bold personalities because it’s a scent that gives an attractive feeling with a mix of solemn and sexy.

3. Orange blossom and other citrus smells
Orange blossoms and various citrus scents give a clean, fresh feeling. This scent is made from fruits in the Citrus family (Grapefruit, lemon, orange, bergamot), which make you feel the morning sun and a fresh breeze. This scent is cold-pressed to help preserve its natural freshness and is often used as a top note to create a clean, fresh feeling reminiscing everyone a bright sunny morning with a fresh breeze.

4. Cedarwood
Cedarwood scent is grounding, calming, and earthy like a smoky scent. This scent is often used as one of the base notes in perfumes. The soothing scent of cedarwood balances the intensity of the scent, making the scent more lasting.

5. Patchouli
Patchouli is a plant in the mint family with a natural, earthy, bark, and forest scent. This scent can improve your mood to be more relaxed and help relieve stress and anxiety.

6. Sandalwood
That sandalwood smells sweet and is one of the ingredients in perfumes for a long-lasting scent. Moreover, this scent helps to relax, create concentration, and also helps to sleep well. Sandalwood is widely used in Asian religions and traditions because its sweet scent complements the scent of flowers for a more harmonious effect.

7. Leather
Leather has a strong, spicy, and alluring scent. Surprisingly, the scent of leather didn’t come from the raw leather material, but from the birch oil, or synthetic aldehydes. Leather scent is usually synthetic, but it gives a soft and pleasant aroma and also gives a feeling of spiciness and strength. People often consider the leather scent to be a suitable scent for men’s perfumes. In fact, the leather scent goes well with the women’s chypres perfume line, and it also increases the longevity of the floral scent.
