So I got a sample of the a Coeur Battant and I love love love it for the first few hours but I’m so bummed it doesn’t last long on me. I’m not a perfume expert at all, but any tips to make it last longer? I do three spritzes and I feel like I lose the pear notes by early afternoon. So sad because I was planning on purchasing a bottle for Christmas

There's not really anything you can do. A fruity note like pear is only going to last for a few hours AT BEST unless the perfume is jammed full of synthetic chemicals that will make it smell cheap and terrible (like Dior Sauvage, for example). it's the richer and often darker notes in the bases of perfumes, like woods and resins and vanilla, that last long.

Thank you for your reply. I really appreciate sharing your knowledge. It makes me want to learn more about perfumes!
Maybe I’ll just have to get a smaller travel size with me if they make one and carry it around with me to spritz myself throughout the day because I really love the first few hours and afterwards I can hardly smell anything.
Have a wonderful day!

I use this plant based fragrance free body oil about 15 mins to 1/2 hr before I spray any perfume on and I find it helps make whichever perfume I wear last longer. I LOVE the Coeur Battant! My sample ran out today :sad:. I’m trying to be patient. Ideally I’d like to wait for my birthday in Feb & request it but the other side of me that’s addicted to the smell wants it NOW!! I just noticed the combo set on the site & it’s very hard not to order it. HELP! Lol

That one is my favorite too! I just cant pull the trigger on such an expensive perfume so I'm waiting for my samples to run out

I read that if you spray it on your hair or clothes it will last longer. Also, if you put moisturizer first, it will also "hold" the fragrance a little longer than bare skin.

Darn, just looked this up and I can’t find it online here in Canada. This would be perfect for me as I was thinking of a travel set too.

Just FYI - my CA said this set was unavailable nationwide here so I had to order it online. Oh well... at least I tried to give her the sale . Hopefully it shows up online for Canada soon!

I know, it is expensive especially since I’m finding I have to do 3 spritzes at least. I’m also making sure I really love it because I want to be able to refill it again.
Next sample I have is Mille Feux so I’ll try that next but I’m pretty sure I’ll still love CB more. Will post an update once I tried that one. Maybe that one might last longer on me.
