Perfume with projection and sillage ???

I’m currently obsessed with finding the perfect perfume for me . Unfortunately , I find a lot of perfumes that I end up trying have absolutely no staying power . Today I bought Gabrielle by Chanel and I will be returning it tomorrow. As pretty as it smells, it wears too close to the skin and does not pack a punch. For reference , I love all types of floral and sweet and fresh smells . Also , I HATE angel by Mugler. Lol. I already have alien and I enjoy it for nights out . Any suggestions for perfumes that are very noticeable and long lasting ?! Thank you

Anything by Artlier Cologone will stay. They have wonderful floral scents. Seriously I can smell it on myself and hair the next day. Same with YSL perfumes!

Chanel Chance eau Tendre, (although their brand seems to spoil fast), Versace Bright crystal, 

Ralph by Ralph Lauren (old but classic), Gucci Bloom. I feel these are the fresh, but bold scents you're going after.

If the only thing you're looking for is power, most Tom Fords, especially Black Orchid and the Vert series, and most Guerlains are pretty long lasting.

Re: Perfume with projection and sillage ???

I find the Montale fragrances that I’ve tried can be powerful in sillage and projection.  The two I enjoy are Intense Cafe (rose, coffee, vanilla) and Intense Tiare (tiare flower, vanilla, coconut).  Both are strong sillage and last longer than most of my perfumes.  I also find Glossier You (ambrette, pepper, Iris, Ambrox) to last all day and I get loads of compliments with moderate to strong sillage.  I reserve Intense Cafe for fall and winter, and Intense Tiare and You for Summer.  Parfums de Marly Delina is a fresh and tart rose and peony scent that projects far and lasts all day but the rhubarb note can be challenging for some.  Also, Montale is known for a certain DNA that does not work for some people’s chemistry.  So I suggest sampling or decant first!
