Long-lasting perfume: honest wear times
Royal Musk lasts longest, at 10 to 12 hours. Monarch lasts about 8 hours; the other solids 5 to 8, depending on skin and weather.
How long a perfume lasts depends on its concentration, its notes and your skin. Rich base notes like oud, amber and musk last longest, and fresh citrus fades fastest. Here are the wear times for every KAORA fragrance.

Why these numbers vary
Dry skin holds fragrance less well than moisturised skin, and heat makes a scent project more but fade sooner. Treat these as typical ranges, not promises.
