Read the notes pyramid on each page before you buy perfumes with papyrus. The opening tells you how it smells in the first minutes, while the base notes tell you what is left after a few hours.
In our wear tests, perfumes with papyrus 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).
Lancôme La Nuit Trésor Eau de Parfum has the best overall rating here at 8.2 out of 10, and it comes as EDP.
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.
