The concentration of aromatic compounds in a fragrance determines its intensity, longevity, and character:
Parfum (Extrait de Parfum): 20-30% concentration. The most intense and long-lasting, often 8-12 hours. Applied sparingly — a little goes a long way. Most expensive.
Eau de Parfum (EDP): 15-20% concentration. Excellent balance of intensity and wearability. Lasts 6-8 hours. The most popular choice for daily luxury.
Eau de Toilette (EDT): 5-15% concentration. Lighter and more refreshing. Lasts 4-6 hours. Ideal for warm weather and casual wear.
Eau de Cologne (EDC): 2-4% concentration. Very light and refreshing. Lasts 2-3 hours. Often used as a body splash.
Eau Fraiche: 1-3% concentration. The lightest option. Lasts 1-2 hours. Perfect for a quick refreshment.
Choose based on your needs: EDPs for all-day wear, EDTs for lighter occasions, and Parfums for special events where you want maximum impact.
