Perfumes that last well when you wear them

I'm looking for recommendations for some that last longer than a couple of hours. I bought one recently on holiday - Essence de Patchouli by Alyssa Ashley. Be warned - the smell is definitely not for everyone (although weirdly it doesn't smell of patchoui at all) and will be way too powdery and old-ladyish for many. But it lasts really well - I spray it in the morning and can still smell it on my wrist by the evening.

Any other suggestions?

Flower, by Kenzo, it lasts all day on me and even until I shower in the morning. Not citrusy though, sorry.

I use jo malone perfume and it seems to last much longer than anything else I've tried. Loads of lovely smells to choose from.

Agree with Chloé, flower bomb, la vie est belle. I also find Gucci perfumes long lasting in general.

My every day perfume at the moment is Lady Million, Paco Rabanne. It lasts for ages on me. I can't describe the smell - spicey and a bit orangey? I love it and get lots of compliments when I have it on.

Sorry forgot about this but saw the mn email and this thread on it! How funny! Bizarrely proud :) well done Op!

My present fave is Geromino. Smells like heat, Spain, sand and flowers. It honestly smells like Mallorca for me. Love it in winter when cold as it's a real mood enhancer.

The Mediterranean ones are lighter and airy-er. Really evoke places and summer.

I wear Clinique Aromatics or Paloma Picasso and they both seem to last all day on me.
