Perfume concentrations explained

Everything you need to know about EDT, EDP, Parfum, Extrait de Parfum and Grand Extrait

Are you deciding between Eau de Toilette (EDT), Eau de Parfum (EDP), Parfum, Extrait de Parfum or Grand Extrait? You are not alone. Many people wonder exactly what the difference is between these perfume concentrations and which one best suits their lifestyle.

The main difference lies in the concentration of perfume oil. In general, the higher the perfume concentration, the richer, more intense and longer-lasting the fragrance experience on the skin.

Important: The stated fragrance performance is an average on the skin and may vary from person to person. Factors such as skin type, temperature, humidity and perfume formulation affect fragrance performance. Perfume generally lasts longer on clothing.

The percentages are indicative and may vary by perfume. The final fragrance experience is determined by the ingredients used and the perfume formulation.
