This Is Why Your Fragrance "Doesn't Last" On Your Skin.

[@YouAreTheRaidBoss]

Love your calm, educational manner! Best wishes from Vienna!

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you very much!

[@DivineFrag]

Certain notes work with the skin chemistry of some better than others. That's the lay of the land. Definitely agree on the concentration point - that is not even worth discussing since a winter EDT will typically outperform a summer parfum.

[@moustachio334]

It's about note selection. A frag with amber in the base will dominate another with cedar. Atleast on my skin but note selection and frageance accord dictates strength. Like said an EDT will smell stronger than a summer parfum. Halston Z-14 and Davidoff Zino are both EDTs thst make most EDPs smell as strong as water.

[@burner27]

Skin chemistry is the big thing. People don't think about enough. Some folks are just luckier than others in terms of how their skin works with different frags. And some frags that work for some folks absolutely fail for me. And then there's my spouse's reaction.

[@uyokudantai]

Agree with the concentration talk, I remember A&F fierce from years ago lasted solid 8h on my skin and it was eau de cologne.

[@grantwolfe3323]

The more I obsessed about how my fragrance was performing and projecting, the less I could notice it...ironically, when I stopped caring, I now notice it all the time and actually enjoy it on a more subjective personal level

[@stayfreshproductions]

I can totally relate.

[@michaelh.266]

I love how the books are organized. The video was obviously great too as usual!

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you Michael!

[@meganbrennan454]

This is great! I 100% experienced this myself. I have the Flor del Sol EDT and it’s not a super strong performer for sillage, but it lasts beautifully for 8+ hours on me. I’ve had plenty of EDPs start out strong and fade quickly.

[@jimlittle5769]

I LOVED this video! Well presented, very informative. For those who are looking for their fragrances to last longer, I'd suggest you do this. After showering, put non-scented lotion on the areas you spray. Let that sit for a few minutes, then apply your fragrances.

[@coilover2005]

I believe skin hydration is important as well. Drinking water properly, really helps to hydrate your skin and you can lock in that moisture with a fragrance free lotion.

[@louiscarrillo5873]

facts. and an under estimated component.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Hydration is definitely important 👌🏾

[@uyokudantai]

Consume more saturated fat.

[@moustachio334]

I started using heavier lotions at night after a shower and something lighter in the morning. It made a big difference in projection. Also my skin looks so much healthier. Amazing that we use fragrance to attract women but forget to keep our skin healthy 😂. Alcohol in perfume dries the skin out.

[@TheHalloweenKing]

Lotion doesn’t work for me. I have stronger with you intense and I literally spray 20 to 30 sprays and nobody can smell it after 20 minutes.

[@luisespino4445]

So interesting. I have problems sometimes to feel the fragrance after a little while after applying it. Now I understand there are different factors involved and there’s nothing wrong with me. Thanks 🙏🏻

[@noureddinemerradou2806]

Dry skin vs oily skin affects the performance as well, the former behaving poorly regardless of concentration, and it so happened to be my type lf skin unfortunately. Great video

[@blacktempo77]

I've been looking for this information for years,thank you !!!

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

What a fragrance smells like on paper and what it smells like on skin are two very different things. Your diet, hydration and skin care routine also affect the way fragrance smells and its longevity. There are people who have skin that seems to “eat” fragrance or that amplify or distort certain notes. Some people seem to be anomic to certain notes and that is fatal if it happens to be a base note. If longevity is that important to you, you have to sample before buying and you have to try it several times before you will get a true picture of performance. For myself, I don’t really care. I have great skin chemistry and I get 5-6 hours out of the lightest of fragrances. I don’t mind reapplying or showering and starting over. I have to echo your discussion on concentration. Some Colognes last forever and some extraits are very discrete and close. Buy what you love and maybe just buy what lasts forever on you.

[@stayfreshproductions]

I love it. Thank you Catherine.

[@boogiedaddy3434]

Yea, the particular ingredients used have a bigger impact on performance than the concentration itself. You could have a drop of 0.10% dilution real civet in an EDT that you could pick up on your skin the next day whereas a drop of 10% dilution bergamot in an Extrait de Parfum could be undetectable in an hour.

[@marilynwarbis7224]

I have two inexpensive perfumes, a musk and a sandalwood, both lovely, but - I just cannot smell them once I've sprayed them on me. I keep wondering if it's the cold weather, so I'll try them again come summer to see if there's a difference. If these two perfumes had a greater projection and longevity I wouldn't need to search for any other, because in all other ways they're perfect.

[@Stsebastian8900]

The truth is, their has been an industry-wide reduction of natural and synthetic aroma chemical's in designer houses perfume. When i was 18 i could spray Dior home intense and still smell it the next day on my clothes after a night of clubbing. Today i have to spray 4 times as much and it has completely gone with in 2 hours. Unfortunately their strategy to get us to buy more by reducing the quantity of expensive chemicals that gives us the projection has worked! Their profit have gone up and up. So we can expect this trend to continue. I recommend leaving behind designer fragrances and investing in a higher end product. I think its frankly insulting to suggest we have become nose blind or were not doing x or y enough... nonsense.

[@ajaj3025]

I LOVE THE WAY YOU THINK BUT CONCENTRATION SHOULD AFFECT PERFORMANCE. IN CASES WHERE WE HAVE HIGHLY VOLATILE (VERY REACTIVE WITH SKIN AND AIR AND TEMPERATURE) PARFUMERS SHOULD INCREASE CONCENTRATIONS WITHIN THE DICTATES OF INTERNATIONA CONVENTIONS.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you. My point is that even increasing the concentration does not guarantee enhanced performance.

[@threone1]

Guys, nothing lasts on me, literally. The scents vaporating with l alhocol, after maybe one minute i can feel only base notes, which stay for maybe 2hr, but i can smell it only if i touch the sprayed spot with my nose. I've got good smell, i can smell it from my clothes very good, but on my skin it doesn't work at all. I use butter for skin, moisturizer with 5.5ph, also for just 5 mins before applying the scent, i use no parfum moisturizer. I drink enough water, i can say it just looking at colour of my urine. Also i tried, i think, more than 60 different feagrances. Amouage Beach Hunt lasted the longest: 30 minut of projection (i could smell it from me), albo then i could smell it on my skin (from 5cm), and that's it. I doesnt really Change anything, if i use 1, 2 or 10 sprays. I tried everything. Nothing can help me, maybe you'll have some idea? Also i eat healthy, most of time low carb, i do gym, i use good soap for washing, a lot of lotions, butters, just WTF? I'm sure it's not "noseblind"! Amouage Interlude lastst for 40 min. after heavly oversprayed, like 12 sprays on me. I should kill someone, or at leasts, some fly xd but no, the projection was about 20cm. help me.. i feel like i searched whole web and i can't find solution or someone like me. (xerjoff erba pura 30 minut of projection, and that's simply it. could feel after touching skin with my nose for about 4hr, that's a new record... bleu de chanel lasts form 30 min, 5 min of projection ~20cm, tuscan leather by TF lasts for 40 min, 3 mina of projection... )

I believe there is a narrow range for each fragrance. Meaning that sure skin chemistry, maceration etc plays a part but I have serious doubts identical fragrances will last 15 hours on one person and 30 minutes on another. That just seems totally off. Maybe the 15 hours becomes 10 on someone else.

[@theprosperingfool]

Great stuff, easily my favorite reviewer. Spot on about concentration styles being vibes not performance. I agree and I prefer parfums the vast majority of the time because I like deeper, richer, smoother. I tend to find the parfums more refined, classy, complex, and just overall elevated/expensive smelling in my opinion. Not always, but most of the time. And I don’t need to fill a room, just my space. That said to the argument about performance - not to go there, but I’ll go there haha - I do think there is a minimum level of performance required when you’re paying a premium price. Obviously scent comes first, but It’s a crime how some expensive brands have reformulated their frags that were once good performers and now don’t last at all. That said if I can get it at a discounter for 25-50 bucks, I’m not worried about performance. But if I’m paying twice as much or many multiples of that, it needs to perform.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Thank you so much. I totally understand!

[@ExistentialSadness]

It's the case with Ganymede for me. I spray 3 because it is really strong. I don't smell it in the air after 2-3 hours but I and others can still smell it after 12+ hours.

[@flowmeful]

Exactly the same, after a long day you take of your shirt and the scent is still there. So most likely other people still smelled it even tho you didnt.

[@karolisrum6573]

Ganymede is something else. It lasts 24 hours on my skin as a fresh scent that's kinda crazy. The main reason I bought it is the longetivity. It outlasted Carved Oud which is an extrait when I was testing.

[@michaelh.266]

I recently realized something about performance of fragrances, which I never really considered. One day I was out shopping and tried fragrances. I tried a fragrance which I liked a month ago again. However, this time I realized that the performance wasn't as good, and I was wondering why. I am sure the test bottle wasn't new (I was in the same shop). Then I got it. In the morning after showering, I didn't moisturize my skin. I think this could be one of the problems for you guys which complain about bad performance. Maybe you aren't moisturizing your skin enough. After that I tried the fragrance again with moisturized skin and the performance was as good as I remembered it from the first time.

[@stayfreshproductions]

Moisturizing can definitely make a big difference. Dry skin is a leading cause of bad longevity.

[@slicklace]

Me sat here thinking try ATH fragrances beast mode!! They are very well developed and tells you the percentage concentration. But ultimately the man said it skin chemistry does play a huge factor. Also dark and light skin types too makes a difference.

[@MyGoddessUNIVERSE]

Thanks Mr Referee fragrance guy, you do have on the official referee stripe football shirt to call out violations against scent violators

[@DarrylCobb]

I do like my office/work day fragrances to last at least 6 hours but that's me. The importance of performance FOR ME is how many sprays. I don't want to end up spraying Savauge Elixir like Nautica Voyage. Performance just lets me know how easy to go on the trigger.

[@aedrake1977]

I never spray in the front. Always behind my nose so I will catch whafts when I turn. I always spray either my hands or the outside of my arms depending on the type of fragrance. Performance can very with any fragrance and when I apply or occasion. Weather also plays a role. The more humidity kills any fragrance. Cooler breezy days seem the best but most of us spend our time indoors in a climate control area which ultimately excludes these “seasonal” fragrances. Love the videos Justin peace ✌🏻

[@stayfreshproductions]

[@ronburgundy4375]

I typically apply non scented lotion and in my spray areas I use unscented vasoline. Especially with non oil based colognes. Key is making sure your skin is moisturized. Also you have to take into account your own body chemistry.. things that smell good and work on others may not work on you. If it dries down and you can't smell it without sticking your nose to it that may mean it's blending with your natural chemistry wich I'd a good thing.

[@hannuback]

People also need to remember that it doesn't make a fragrance bad if it doesn't project or last long. They all have their uses. I dance a lot and I don't want to wear strong, projecting fragrances to a dance. Even parfums that stay close to the skin can be a bit too much when I start to sweat (and that's inevitable). Parfums especially react to body heat and sweat in a way that might be undesirable and make them "too strong". So it's something light to the dance, because of the close proximity of the interactions and I don't want to suffocate anyone. I have stronger scents for outdoor events etc, but it's about time and place.

[@stayfreshproductions]

I could not agree more.

[@moustachio334]

Example: YSL La Nuit L'homme. I would never want this fragrance to fill a room. Some scents are made for cuddling and others clubbing. The fragrance notes determine projection and performance.

[@blankmandastankman]

The Escentric Molecule series is a good example of not going by the concentration. Some people may not pick up the notes but I myself have used Molecule02 at the beginning of the day and still caught whiffs at the end of the day

[@meliza1001]

What are your thoughts about adding things like lotion or molecule 01?

[@beng1642]

I have to credit you with the change I have made to how I apply my fragrances. I've begun using the back of the neck spray to try and prevent fatigue and it does seem to work pretty damn well. I'm also somewhat blessed that even an EDC like my favored Acqua di Parma Colonia Intensa lasts a good time on me (6 hours, plus or minus).

[@stayfreshproductions]

Glad to hear it, Ben!

[@moustachio334]

Spraying the back of the neck also creates amazing sillage. There is alot of blood flow near the ears so the fragrance naturally wafts heavier the higher your heart rate. I love walking and stopping and having a blast of Issey Miyake I sprayed on in the morning hit me in the nose.

I used to go nose blind to my fragrances pretty easily in spite of following the traditional method. Now -I only do concentrated sprays (3 to 5 depending on the fragrance) in one spot- mostly at the back of my neck. Thus, the perfume stays behind me: it is less annoying for me and the people around me. I get to smell it 'till it turns into a skin scent. I can also gauge whether or not to reapply or skip the reapplication.

[@curlyhairdudeify]

I spiked my fragrances with ambroxan. I mix 2-3 pumps in a a 10ml travel spray bottle, and fill the rest with my fragrance; I have multiple traveling bottles, and multiple parfumes... Keep everything separated, one travel bottle for one parfum. If apply to my shirts, they smell for days on my dirty laundry basket. And on my skin, I would say 10+ hours, and on the 12 hour I'm down to smelling the ambroxan.

[@dustin1219]

Great thoughts Justin. I have built up a collection of roughly 50 fragrances (mostly Chanel, Creed, and TF) since getting into the hobby early last year, and can say that “almost” all of them got considerably stronger 4-6 months after spraying them the first time, which I assume starts the oxidation process by introducing oxygen into the bottle. What’s interesting about everyone’s thoughts on TF Noir Extreme Parfum is that they are smelling bottles in August 2022 that were made in May 2022. I bought the Edp in August 2021, which coincidentally was also made the previous May, and it was very weak and did not smell like the tester. It is now almost unbearable beast mode sweetness, so who knows what the parfum will be like after a bit of time. Though it’s hard to come by for most of us, I think patience is key to this hobby, and is actually one of the few good reasons to have a decent size collection of fragrances to wear while your new purchases are coming into their own.

[@gazzap6664]

I agree with most points, the ingredients and how the molecules dissipate in the air is important, (citrus molecules disappear quickly but tonka bean less so)... Overall if you have 2 fragrances that are the same but one has a higher oil concentration then the other (Reflection man 43 for example versus Reflection man) it will last longer because surely more oil needs more time to evaporate. Where I do agree is you should not think about it too much because there are too many variables to consider to predict the outcome. Good video. 😁

I’m so glad it was helpful!

Is an honor to listen to this guy, if you don't learn nothing, you're simply not paying attention

Sung is a beast. the Sung women's version heavy as it is in florals and as it is designated will hang in there air forever. crazy beast mode . ive seen extraits not even do that :) Elixir. ill do one spray on the belt line low and i can smell and it'll radiate for hours. that one is crazy! In the end , i love a great blend as it relates to scent signature . That'll be a nice indication of quality. Crucial dialogue here .

I’m interested in sung now. Did he say it smelled dated though?

[@louiscarrillo5873]

@@raphael9197 so you should get a decant and see what you think . What's most important ultimately is whether you feel it's dated or not. Some say muskeir scents wear dated and others see that as sign of quality. So it's most important to check out and gauge your reactions . I'm curious as to what you think. One thing on a performance stand point .the women's version you can smell from the next zip code . So performance isnt everything.

One time I bought the same fragrance that I smelled on my friend, I used to feel it on him for a full day, I got it and turned out I could barely feel it on me after just one hour, and I checked with others and they had to get really close to feel it. What I forgot to consider was the fact that he s got an oilier skin type than me, my skin is usually very dry so if i want to get better performance i have to use non perfume moisturizer.

Good observation!

Does wearing different fragrances every day help avoid anosmia?

[@stayfreshproductions]

Somewhat! But it's also good to take a break from any fragrances every once in a while.

IMHO, Smell and longevity on skins are like two side of a coin. They are inseparable as far as choosing fragrance. For example, if Dior Elixir has beast performance and last long on my skin but then it doesn’t smell good to my nose; then I won’t buy it. Likewise, if the Dior Elixir smells FUNtastic on my skin but lame performance less than 6 hours; then I won’t bother to buy it either. Each individual has their own buying decision criteria. As for me, both smell and longevity must be top notch. And just so happen Dior Elixir and most of Amouage in my collections fit into those 2 categories. #SmellsGreat #SuperBeastMode 🔥🔥🔥🤭

In my experience ( and I'm not a perfumer ) synthetic fragrances are much stronger than last longer. Most Gaultier fragrances are very strong and long lasting, and they are mostly synthetic.
