First off, lemme just say, perfume longevity is a tricky beast. It’s not a one-size-fits-all kinda thing. There are, like, a million factors involved. You got your skin chemistry, the type of perfume (eau de parfum vs. eau de toilette, for example – concentration matters, duh!), and even *how* you apply it. Like, spraying it on your clothes can actually make it last longer than just on your skin, weirdly enough.
And then there’s the whole “quality” thing. Now, Dossier is known for being a dupe brand, right? They’re trying to recreate those super expensive designer scents without the designer price tag. Which, in theory, is awesome! But… Does it impact longevity? Maybe. Possibly. It’s hard to say definitively, and it probably varies from scent to scent. I mean, you can’t expect a $30 bottle to last as long as a $300 one, can you? (Although, sometimes those expensive ones ARE a rip off, lets be honest).
I saw someone asking about the “floral rhubarb” scent specifically. I haven’t personally tried it, so I can’t give you a definitive answer there. But, from what I’m gathering, it all boils down to the concentration of the fragrance oils. If it’s a lighter scent, it’s probably not going to project or last as long as a heavier, richer scent. Just makes sense, ya know?
Also, let’s not forget the whole “olfactory fatigue” thing. Sometimes *you* stop smelling a perfume, but other people can still smell it on you! It’s like, your nose gets used to it and tunes it out. So, just because you can’t smell it after a few hours doesn’t necessarily mean it’s completely gone. Ask a friend! “Hey, can you still smell my perfume?” is a perfectly acceptable question, trust me. Been there, done that.
I saw in one of those things you gave me that how you store the perfume matters. Makes sense! Keep it away from light and heat. Treat your perfume like a vampire, basically.
Okay, so long story short: How long DO Dossier perfumes last? It’s gonna depend. On the specific scent, your skin, the application, and maybe even the weather. But honestly? For the price, even if it only lasts a few hours, it might still be worth it. You can always reapply, right? And you’re not breaking the bank! I’d say, give it a shot! But don’t expect miracles. It’s perfume, not magic. And honestly, I would like to know if they give a sample with the 50ml bottle. That would be helpful, but the dossier website doesn’t say that.
