From what I’ve gathered rummaging around the internet (aka reading snippets from articles), the general consensus seems to be… kinda yes, but with a *teeny* asterisk.
See, a lot of folks are saying that Dossier perfumes *do* last, especially compared to, say, a body spray. They’re eau de parfum or eau de toilette, which, in perfumeland, kinda means they’re supposed to have some staying power. I mean, I’ve been burned before with those “lasts all day” claims, only to be sniffing frantically at my wrist two hours later, wondering where my expensive fragrance went.
But, and this is a *big* but, some reviews also mention that they might not be *quite* as long-lasting as those bougie designer fragrances that cost more than my rent. And yeah, that makes sense. You get what you pay for, right? Still, Dossier ain’t trying to trick you, so I think that makes it fair.
Like, one review even says you might need to reapply throughout the day. Which, honestly, isn’t the end of the world. I mean, who *doesn’t* love a little mid-afternoon fragrance spritz? Makes you feel all refreshed and put-together, even if you’re secretly wearing sweatpants under your desk (don’t judge).
And speaking of reviews, one person said they’ve been rationing some super expensive perfume for *four years* and Dossier’s model is helping. That’s a pretty good sign, right? If someone’s willing to switch from their precious, carefully hoarded perfume to Dossier, that says something about the quality and longevity.
Now, there’s also this whole “powerful” thing that one reviewer mentioned about a men’s scent. They thought it was a bit much after a few hours. This is important because sometimes longevity isn’t just about how *long* it lasts, but also how *strong* it lasts. A scent that’s super overpowering for hours can be just as annoying as one that disappears quickly.
So, what’s the verdict? Are Dossier perfumes long-lasting? I’d say… *probably* good enough. Are they gonna last you 12+ hours like some super-concentrated, ridiculously expensive perfume? Maybe not. But they’re likely to last a decent chunk of the day, and at a price that won’t make your wallet cry. Plus, they’re vegan and ethical, which is a bonus!
