Extrait de Parfum
What is extrait de parfum?
Extrait de parfum is the highest concentration in modern perfumery. Typically formulated between 20–30% aromatic compounds, it contains significantly more fragrance oil than eau de parfum or eau de toilette. The result is greater depth, longer wear, and a scent that evolves slowly on skin.
Extrait de parfum vs eau de parfum
The difference lies in concentration.
Eau de parfum typically contains 15–20% fragrance oil.
Extrait de parfum contains 20–30%.
This higher concentration allows the scent to sit closer to the skin, unfolding gradually rather than projecting sharply. Longevity increases, while the composition feels more controlled and refined.
Why higher concentration changes the experience
Higher concentration does more than extend wear time.
It affects how a fragrance develops. Top notes soften. Heart notes linger. Base notes deepen. Instead of dissipating quickly, the structure moves with your body chemistry and environment throughout the day, creating a long lasting perfume experience that remains present with subtle consistency.
Extrait de parfum is often described as more intimate, more layered, and more personal.
