Fragrances with serious longevity

I have found a few fragrances with serious longevity. I am not talking about 6,7, or maybe even 8 hours. I mean something that lasts all day long.

YSL Body Kouros
YSL Rive Gauche
Prada Amber
Guerlain Habit Rouge
Guerlain Vetiver

There are some others as well that I have found, but these are the ones I really like and wear regularly at this point.

What fragrances have you found that are pretty unbeatable when it comes to lasting power?
 
Most of my Montale's last for more than twelve hours. Black Aoud is still noticeable the following morning and Full Incense and Patchouli Leaves have incredible staying power. I find Lalique's Encre Noire to last a long time as well.
 
I have found that many frags with a soapy vibe seem to last a long time on my skin. Like Tom Ford Neroli Potofino, Creed Original Vetiver, Creed Green Irish Tweed, all last more than 12 hours. I believe it is florals which give these frags their soapy vibe, but I don't know if florals play any role in their longevity.
 
In addition to many of the frags mentioned, I get amazing longevity from Knize Ten too. I have mixed luck with Creed. Tabarome and, to a lesser extend, BdP are very long lasting; on the other hand, Cuir de Russie only seems to last for a couple of hours.
 
Many mentioned here last well on me. The King Kong of longevity for me is Malle Noir Epices. Crazy lasting power. Overnight and through a shower.

Wish I liked it more than I do. Sort of like a spicy soapy scent. Not a bad scent, but hard for me to ascribe a personality to it...

is it casual? Formal? Sexy? No idea. But it lasts forever.
 
Here are three US-made artisanal brands with staying power: TSD Bourbon Vanilla (I have the ASB and cologne). SCS Bulgarian Lavender, and Mama Bear's Musk.
 
The original Kouros lasts forever on me
Mecca Balsam by Profumo can last a full 24 hours as well as their Bazaar and several others in their line.
Tribute and Homage attars by Amouage last a very long time, and are even tough to wash off - not that you would want too.
Aramis is another as well as the - to my nose - similar smelling Lauder Azuree - on the aftershave side, these bear some resemblance to Pashana and Pinaud Special Reserve, which also have tenacity.
Others include: Drakkar Noir; Le Male; Ambre Sultan; 1740 Marquis de Sade by HdP; most Montales; and Yatagan
 
This past Winter my rotation included Quorum, Aramis Original and Z-14, all of them lasted a minimum of 10 hours and I could smell the Z-14 the next morning when I awoke. My Summer fragrances tend to be on the lighter side and most are lucky enough to last 6-7 hours; California by Dana (discontinued), Ach Brito Lavanda and Nautica Voyage. I've recently purchased Mistral Cedarwood Marine, mainly a Marine type scent with Cedar added on the dry down, this lasted ~10-11 hours, I found it refreshing & different from many of the Aquatics now popular.
 
Vintage Tabarome, Knize 10, Piper Nigrum, Amber Fetische, Gendarme 20, some attars last for ages (>20h) on me. I've had some survive a swim in a heated, chlorinated pool and still be detectable. 10 mins in the steam room will kill anything as far as I know.
