Is making long lasting organic perfume possible?

[perfume_smells]

how can we make the perfume long lasting?without using hard-to-find ingredients?

Start by doing some research on the differences between organic and non-organic perfume. Try to identify why organic perfume doesn't last as long. Then think about what type of ingredients you could use that would last longer and still be organic.

You also might want to research solid perfumes (applied with a stick) as an option to make perfume last longer.

Hope this helps!

Maybe a good start would be to determine how long would you like the perfume to last? Once you know this you can do a targeted research on the ingredients necessary and determine how hard they may be to find.

Base notes last the longest. Shouldn't be too hard to find...

1. Base notes – sandal wood, vanilla, cinnamon, mosses, lichens, ferns;
2. Middle notes – lemongrass, geranium, neroli, ylang-ylang;
3. Top notes – orchid, rose, bergamot, lavender, lemon, lime.
