What strength of perfume is best for you?

So it is frequently asked which type of perfume lasts the longest. Here is our suggestion for you regarding this issue. But the choice is always a personal one, what suits you will not always suit the next person. 

Types of Perfume

Perfumes with the aromatic compounds of the same composition but of different concentration smell different. Masculine scents are more diluted than feminine ones. According to the concentration of fragrance, perfumes are of five types.

Parfum or Extrait:

It is also known as ‘Pure Perfume’ or ‘Perfume Extract.’ It contains essential oils between 15% and 40%, and the fragrance lasts for six to eight hours in general. Perfume is your evening wear.

Eau de Parfum (EDP):

Eau de perfume contains 15-20% fragrance and generally lasts for up to four to five hours. It is suitable for everyday wear. It is ideal for sensitive skin.

Eau de Toilette (EDT):

Eau de toilette means grooming water. EDT contains aromatic oils between 5% and 15%. The fragrance lasts for two or three hours highest. EDT is preferable for the daywear where Eau de parfum is considered as nightwear. Most masculine perfumes are of this type.

Eau de Cologne:

Eau de Cologne means water of Cologne. It contains 3% to 8% fragrance oil. It has citrus-based notes and lasts up to two hours.

Eau Fraiche:

It is sold as “splashes,” “mists,” etc. This contains 3% or less essential oil. Water is used as a solvent rather than oil or alcohol. Eau Fraiche lasts for two hours barely.

How to Apply

You can use it at pulse points such as inside of knees, elbows, and wrists, on the nape, behind the ears. Thus the perfume will be warmed by the pulse point, and the aroma will be released continuously. Rub some vaseline on the pulse point and a non-scented moisturising cream on the skin before applying the perfume to make it long-lasting.
