Long lasting perfumes, 12 hours and more
Every bottle here stayed on skin for at least twelve hours in our wear tests. Spray in the morning, still there at dinner.
Why Arabian perfumes last longer
Gulf perfumery was built for a climate where a fragrance has to survive heat and a long day. Houses like Lattafa and Ahmed Al Maghribi use higher oil concentrations and heavier base materials than most designer brands: amber, resins, oud, musk and vanilla. Those base notes evaporate slowly, which is why a single application lasts from a morning shower to a late dinner.
The longest performers in our catalog are Marj and Bin Shaikh at fourteen hours or more, followed by Khamrah, Teriaq, Oud Roses and, surprisingly for a fresh scent, Kaaf.
Questions people ask
Marj and Bin Shaikh from Ahmed Al Maghribi, both past fourteen hours. Among Lattafa, Khamrah, Khamrah Dukhan, Teriaq and Oud Mood Elixir all clear twelve hours.
Yes. Oily skin holds fragrance longer than dry skin. If your skin is dry, apply an unscented moisturiser first and you will gain two or three hours.
