layering is best for that one hon.  See if you can get a matching or complementary set with shower gel, lotion and fragrance x

Agree with layering. Finish off with a spritz in your hair and on your clothes

I might be wrong (not that knowledgeable about perfume) but I'm pretty sure Eau de Parfum is supposed to lst longer than Eau de Toilette.

I always use EDP - in a moment of poorness I got EDT and I noticed the difference significantly. EDP lingers on your clothes, seatbelt, even my pillow. The EDT bottle didn't last anywhere near as long as the EDP either as I had to be more generous with my application.

EDP all the way, yes it costs more but it does last heaps longer on you.
I do suggest checking the bottle you are wanting to get as well, some that are released may only come in a certain type instead of both. Limited edition perfumes can be funny like this.
With the perfumed body lotions once you have squeezed everything possible out, cut them open to get the last of it out.

I agree with the ladies EDP is the way to go. Just off the top of my head, Christian Dior, Clavin Klein, Marc Jacobs ,Chanel, Yves Saint Laurent are all scents that can last longer than usual. Most designer fragrances have long wear.
I agree with these ladies. Use EDP but it also helps if your body chem matches the perfume you're wearing or if you have oilier skin as dry skin will devour the fragrance. A good way to make it last longer is to use an unscented moisturiser then spray. Alternatively you can carry a purse spray or a decant of the perfume you're using. In this case you can get a Travalo which is tidier but pricy or a regular 5ml(or so) vial with a spray nozzle which you will have to spray directly into to fill the vial.

Bear in mind some EDPs actually don't last long at all. Look perfumes you'd like and see if they last well.

Why haven't I thought of spritzing my hair before?! :p  
My favourite perfume at the moment is a Juicy Couture EDP and I've noticed its staying power is much better than my EDTs.  I'm always curious to know if other people can still smell it on me later in the day versus if I've just gotten used to it and can't smell it any more or it has in fact faded :-/

Just me being a nanna but a heads up to those who spritz perfume into their hair, EDT & EDP contain alcohol, even though EDP does have a minimal percentage compared to EDT (it is what makes the liquid evaporate in the air as it hits your skin and the basis for all scent bases.  Although there is such a thing as alcohol free perfume, personally haven't come across it in my journeys yet though) and spraying that into your hair can dry and lead to damage.  There is perfumes designed for hair though and the minimal amount misted into your hair probably isn't sufficent enough to do any real harm, but just so you know!
