Strongest longest lasting perfume you've smelt or owned

[TWOBANANAS]

Sick of perfumes just fading away in seconds, please tell me the good, strong, bold long lasting ones so I can finally find one!!!

Dolce Vita by Christian Dior. Wore it when I was doing jury service, and sitting in a hot stuffy courtroom it gave me a massive headache, have not been able to wear it since. But it's certainly powerful stuff!

Tom Ford. I always buy Tom Ford.

I've just bought 2 Michael Kors in duty free to break said TF habit. They both last about 3 nano seconds.

Agree re Angel too, regardless of whether you like the scent.

Angel.
Tom Ford white patchouli
Chopard wish
Sjp Lovely EDP

I love them all

Opium
Youth Dew
Prada (Amber?)

Strongest in the sense that smelling it hurts - Montale's Aoud Lime. (Honorable mention to a full squirt of Chanel Coco Edp)
Strongest in the sense it stayed on my skin the longest - wafts of Molecule 01 go on for at least 48 hours.
Strongest in the sense of longevity - a smelling strip dipped in castoreum at a perfume fair - I could smell it on my dresser for at least six months.

Diorissimo. You only need the tiniest drop and it will pong all day. DH bought me a massive bottle. I have no hope of ever running out of the stuff.

Flowers by Kenzo l'elixir. Lovely strong scent on me. Sprayed it on at half 7 this morning, can still smell it now.

Be careful what you wish for...

Spellbound ,,,,, 2 squirts is more than enough ! Really hard to find in the shops now though ,,, debenhams beauty counter sell it !

Chloe Narcisse. It's olfactory plutonium

Escape by Calvin Klein lasts for ages. Also a hippy perfume from Lush, think it's called exhale?! My new Jo Malone one lasts about five minutes and they made us buy the body creme (not cream ) too which makes fuck all difference.

Dior's Pure Poison. I absolutely love it. Strong, exotic, unusual but much, MUCH more beautiful than the original.

Coco mademoiselle , the Lidl one is not the same at all, it gets up my nose and gives me an instant migraine , the proper one doesn't . I've had compliments hours after applying, and I use it sparingly.

I also have Black Opium, that lasts well , it's quite a heady scent though.

Annick Goutal Sables.

This stuff sticks.

Valentino Donna

Samsara. The dementor of the perfume world - sucks away the smell of anything else within a 2 mile vicinity.

Must de Cartier II - think it's been discontinued though. A winter, night time perfume. Lasts for days.

I tried on some Tom Ford fragrances (EDP) on a shopping trip recently and I could smell the Grey Vetivert o my skin the next day, even AFTER I'd showered! It was more problematic for the Jasmine one because I quickly went off it & could not shift it!

Suprised that nobody mentioned Lancome LA Vie Est Belle - one spray is enough My Burberry is strong as well. Coco Mademoiselle does not stay on me - it is lovely though, and I agree that Lidl smells nothing like it.

Anything you spray on yourself in a duty free shop before getting on a long haul flight will be very strong and long lasting if you hate it. True fact.

Clinique aromatics elixir

Chanel no 5

First, Van Cleef & Arpels

Hermes 24 fauborg.
I can no longer wear it after being pregnant because my insane sense of smell never went. But this stuff lingers
