How to choose perfumes with hay
Do not judge a perfume by the first spray alone. Give it an hour on your skin, then check it again at the end of the day, because the drydown is what people around you will smell most.
When you compare perfumes with hay, look past the name and check the notes, the longevity score and the concentration. Two bottles in the same style can wear very differently.
How perfumes with hay perform
In our wear tests, perfumes with hay score 8 out of 10 for longevity on average, which means excellent staying power, often lasting from morning into the night.
Sillage, the trail a perfume leaves behind you, averages 7 out of 10, which points to balanced projection that is noticeable but polite.
In hot and humid conditions, the same perfumes average 7 out of 10 for longevity. Heat speeds up evaporation, so expect scents to feel stronger at first and fade sooner than in cool, dry air.
If staying power is your priority, start with Le Labo Thé Noir 29 Perfume: 2015 Unisex Eau de Parfum (8/10).

Buying tips for perfumes with hay
Buy from trusted sellers. Genuine perfume should have clean packaging, a batch code and a consistent colour. The retailer links on each page are a good place to start, and prices that look too good to be true usually are.
Store the bottle well. Heat, light and humidity break perfume down, so keep it in its box, in a cool drawer, and away from the bathroom.
Change one thing at a time. If you are building a collection, add one new style at a time so you learn what you actually reach for.
