    I don’t think that is a realistic expectation.

    It is, just buy better oils.

    I guess if you combine your perfume with menthol, lemon or other strong perfumes, it may increase the time.

    You could ask your fragrance supplier for longer lasting fragrances but it still is probably unrealistic to have a fragrance last this long in a floor cleaning product because you really don’t want to leave a residue on the floor after it is cleaned.

    To make a fragrance last longer you need to slow down the rate of evaporation so fast evaporating solvents like ethanol and isopropanol are not likely to help.
