🌿 The Truth About Natural Perfume Longevity
When switching from synthetic fragrances to all-natural perfume, there’s so much to love—purity, complexity, and the way nature tells a story on your skin. But there’s one question we hear often:
“Why doesn’t my natural perfume last as long as my old synthetic one?”
Let’s break it down.
🌱 Nature Is Meant to Evolve
Synthetic perfumes are designed in labs using engineered molecules that are built to last—and to stay the same the whole way through. These fragrances often rely on chemical additives like phthalates and synthetic musks to make them cling to skin and project further.
Natural perfumes, like those at GLO, are different. They’re alive.
They unfold gradually, revealing nuance and emotion as they evolve—just like nature does. Some scents will last longer than others depending on:
Composition: Deeper base notes (like resins or woods) linger longer than light citrus or florals.
Ingredient quality & extraction: High-quality oils and certain extraction methods affect how long the scent stays.
Concentration: The more concentrated the formula, the more staying power.
Artistry: A skilled perfumer knows how to blend for both beauty and performance.
💧 Want Your Natural Perfume to Last Longer?
Try these GLO-approved tips:
Moisturize first with an oil-based, unscented (or GLO scented) lotion or body oil. Scent sticks better to hydrated skin.
Spray creatively: Beyond pulse points, try the backs of knees, hair (lightly), or even your clothing.
Store smart: Keep your perfume cool, dark, and dry—never in sunlight or heat. Our bottles are powder coated to help preserve your natural fragrance!
No wrist rubbing! It crushes the top notes—gently pat instead.
At GLO, we believe fragrance should breathe, evolve, and connect you to the natural world. And yes—it’s possible to create all-natural perfumes with lasting beauty. Just explore our three collections—Twilight, Springtime, and Beachside—and discover how powerful nature can truly be.
