Natural, long-lasting scents (perfume)?

I'm looking for a brand of perfume that sells scents that are natural and last throughout the day, without being overpowering. A wide selection of simple, earthy scents (such as sandalwood, fresh grass, and lily of the valley) would be great. Can anyone help me out? Thanks!Natural, long-lasting scents (perfume)?

good luck xxNatural, long-lasting scents (perfume)?
Almost all these answers are not natural perfumes. Most all mentioned contain phathlates except demeter or possibly carols daughter (I haven't read it). I am a complete naturalist, a makeup artist and skincare specialist. I loooove the perfume line by PACIFICA. They sell them at some whole foods stores, anthropologie, amazon.com, their website http://www.pacificaperfume.com, and they are awesome! My faves are Waikiki Pikaki, Fresh Gardenia, Sandalwood and Hawaiin Ruby Guava. They are made with essential oils and grain alcohol. As for lasting I'm not sure because I carry it in my purse and spray it on myself throughout the day because it smells so good. I also wanted to try this Fairy one that is on http://www.etsy.com. They look like they would smell nice but I personally haven't used any of them from etsy yet. Good luck!
Try the Philosophy brands. Inner Grace is my favorite, it's light but lasts a long time without being overpowering. I do keep a small roll on perfume in my purse in case I'm going out at night, but even that small touch up isn't overpowering. Philosophy has a number of fragrances, so it should be easy to find one you like.





Good luck!
Yes, earthy scents are great and that's what you should go for. Sandalwood is my favorite. Each women has her own scent when they wear perfumes, and you are right, they should be subtle. I like it when women make a close pass and I can catch just a slight aroma, subtle yet revealing. You are going in the right direction. My favorite are the Lancomb collections. Earthy natural scents that mix well with the scent of a women.
I have only one Demeter cologne (Chocolate Chip Cookie) and it hardly lasts until I get out of the bathroom.





You could try using actuall oil extracts, although they advise against putting it on the skin without diluting, I've never had a problem. I've used patchouli oil from Tisserand lately, and it seems to last a good long time. I believe they have rose and other floral oils, too.
For perfumes, you need to get ones that have a higher level of oils in them. The oils are the ingredient in perfumes that make them last longer. More expensive, but worth it. Also, have you ever heard the Expression, ';a pig can't smell his own sh!t.';? It's kind of the same way with our perfumes. Once we get use to them on us, WE can't really smell it anymore, although you smell wonderful to everyone else!
I have used ';Beautiful'; by Estee Lauder for a long time. It is light but lasts a long time. The first time I tried it, the lady at Dillards sprayed it on a small card. One year later I found the card and you could still smell it. Give it a try.
Bath %26amp; body works has a scent it is eucalyptus %26amp; spearmint (love it) The lotion is very long lasting and it smells so fresh! (my favorite)


If you like the smell of soap (like getting right out of the shower) try Philosophy's PURE!
i stopped wearing perfume because not everyone can be around perfumes plus it gives me headaches. victoria's secret secret garden lotions smell great and they last all day. my boyfriend comments on how good i smell now that i only wear lotions.
Bath and body works is the best place to get natural earthy scents.





the key to a long lasting scent is to do the body wash, lotion and perfume.
