Six Long Lasting Fragrances For Men

A beauty expert shares six lasting male fragrances for those looking to refresh their collection this new year. 

Long-lasting fragrances are the gift that keeps on giving – they can last for years, with just a small amount needed for a lasting impression.

It can be tricky to gauge how long an aftershave or perfume will last, especially based on the design of the bottle or the initial scent profile.

Franchesca Villar, Beauty Editor at Cosmetify, has shared six must-have fragrances for men that boast longevity.

Issey Miyake L’Eau D’Issey Pour Homme Eau De Toilette

• Scent Profile: Fresh, aquatic, and citrusy with notes of yuzu, bergamot, and woody undertones.
• Occasions: This fresh and clean scent is perfect for daytime use, especially in the office.

Issey Miyake is celebrated for its fashion and fragrances, with L’Eau D’Issey Pour Homme Eau De Toilette being one of its most iconic scents.

Though an eau de toilette, this fragrance offers moderate longevity, lasting between three and seven hours, depending on application. To make it last longer, try spraying it after applying a non-scented moisturiser to help the fragrance adhere to your skin.

Maison Margiela By The Fireplace

• Scent Profile: Warm and smoky, with tobacco, chestnut, vanilla, and woody notes that evoke the comfort of a cosy fire.
• Occasions: A warming scent that is ideal for winter. It’s perfect for relaxed or intimate settings, making it an excellent choice for date night.

Despite being an eau de toilette, Maison Margiela’s Replica line is known for its impressive longevity. Thanks to its tobacco and woody notes, this fragrance can last up to 12 hours with just a little application.

Furthermore, this fragrance line is unisex, though the By the Fireplace variant leans toward the masculine side. 

D.S. & Durga Cowboy Grass Eau de Parfum

• Scent Profile: Green and aromatic, with notes of vetiver, sagebrush, and bergamot.
• Occasions: Best for casual or daytime wear, especially for outdoor activities.

The green notes of vetiver and sagebrush make this fragrance reminiscent of the great outdoors. As an eau de parfum, it lasts longer than eau de toilettes, and you can expect it to last up to eight hours, making it perfect for outdoor adventures.

Bond No. 9 Wall Street Eau de Parfum

• Scent Profile: A fresh, citrusy, and slightly aquatic fragrance with notes of sea kale, cucumber, vetiver, and ambergris.
• Occasions: Ideal for office wear or daytime outings in the summer; a sophisticated and clean scent.

With its blend of citrus and aquatic elements, Bond No. 9 Wall Street offers a clean, modern scent that is perfect for professional environments. Unlike some expensive fragrances, this scent exudes luxuriousness while remaining subtle, making it perfect for office days when you have an important client-facing meeting or presentation.

This fragrance has moderate longevity, lasting up to eight hours.

Lumira Cuban Tobacco Eau de Parfum

• Scent Profile: Warm and spicy, with tobacco, patchouli, cardamom, and leather.
• Occasions: Perfect for evening wear, romantic dinners, or casual nights out.

For fans of tobacco-based fragrances, Lumira Cuban Tobacco is a must-try. The cardamom and tobacco blend beautifully, giving it a warm, inviting scent.

Parfums de Marly Layton Eau De Parfum
