If you want a cologne with all-day power and endurance, Adam Hurley of The Robb Report offers a roster of his ten favorite extraits de parfums.
Extraits de parfums (pronounced éks-trè du par-fin — the s is silent) have been gaining popularity due to their high concentration of essential oils, lending them power and endurance. Some extraits de parfum can last anywhere from 12 to 24 hours.
Leading off the list is Cosmic Cowboy by Perfumehead, "a smoky and velvety extrait de parfum that recalls the Sunset Strip in the 1970s."
Cosmic Cowboy, says Hurley, "has a resinous and spicy first act, which establishes the scene with galbanum, cinnamon bark, and orris butter. Then, an inciting incident (let’s call it whiskey and tobacco leaf) propels the plot forward until amber, cacao, suede, and musk carry us to the end (which is many, many, many hours after application)."
