How perfumes with incense perform

In our wear tests, perfumes with incense score 6 out of 10 for longevity on average, which means moderate staying power, so a midday refresh helps.

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 Lancôme La Nuit Trésor Eau de Parfum (6/10).

Buying tips for perfumes with incense

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.

Think about your climate. Heat and humidity shorten how long most perfumes last, so check the hot and humid longevity score before you choose a bottle for daily wear.
