My understanding is that the lessened sillage and staying power of modern fragrances is partialy due to the modern taste for lighter,, “skin” fragrances, and due to the fact that the narural ingredients which served as fixatives as well as a scent component are on the “banned” list. I had hoped that good brands such as Amouage, from the Middle East, would escape the long arm of the EU, but because at least their “classic French-style” perfumes have a big market in Europe, they too knuckled under. There are a few niche perfumeries (such as Dawn Spencer Hurwitt), made in the US, which haven’t given up using the traditional ingredients, but they only seem to manage that by not aspiring to become department store brands.
