"Long-lasting" can vary from person to person because skin type, weather, humidity and even how you apply perfume can affect how long a fragrance stays noticeable. For better longevity, apply perfume to moisturised skin and focus on pulse points such as the wrists, neck and behind the ears. Also, don't rub your wrists together after spraying, as it can alter how the fragrance develops.
