The Hierarchy of Fragrance Strengths
ELIXIR: The Scent That Won’t Quit
🔹 Concentration: 30-50%
🔹 Longevity: 12+ hours
💎 The Power Move: If you want your fragrance to last from dusk till dawn (and beyond), an elixir is your ultimate weapon. Think of it as liquid confidence in a bottle—bold, luxurious, and impossible to ignore.
PARFUM (Extrait de Parfum): The VIP of Fragrances
🔹 Concentration: 20-30%
🔹 Longevity: 6-8 hours
💎 The Classic Choice: Also known as pure perfume, this is a scent for those who love a rich, long-lasting aura without overwhelming the senses. A little goes a long way—so spray wisely!
ESPRIT DE PARFUM: The Underrated Gem
🔹 Concentration: 18-25%
🔹 Longevity: 6-10 hours
💎 The Secret Weapon: Nestled between parfum and eau de parfum, this rare category offers an intense yet wearable experience. Think of it as the best of both worlds—powerful yet refined.
EAU DE PARFUM (EDP): The Everyday Powerhouse
🔹 Concentration: 15-20%
🔹 Longevity: 5-6 hours
💎 The Balanced Choice: EDP is the most popular concentration for a reason. It’s strong enough to last through most of the day without demanding too much attention—ideal for work, dates, and everything in between.
EAU DE TOILETTE (EDT): The Daytime Go-To
🔹 Concentration: 5-15%
🔹 Longevity: 4-5 hours
💎 The Casual Cool: If EDP is the power suit, then EDT is the chic blazer—lighter, fresher, and perfect for everyday wear. Great for warm weather and office-friendly vibes.
EAU DE COLOGNE (EDC): The Refreshing Splash
🔹 Concentration: 2-4%
🔹 Longevity: 2-3 hours
💎 The Wake-Up Call: Traditionally masculine, EDCs are fresh, citrusy, and perfect for a post-shower refresh. Think of it as the espresso shot of fragrances—quick, invigorating, but short-lived.
EAU FRAÎCHE: The Lightest Touch
🔹 Concentration: 1-3%
🔹 Longevity: 1-2 hours
💎 The Barely-There Beauty: If you want just a hint of scent, Eau Fraîche is your go-to. It’s refreshing, airy, and perfect for those who prefer a subtle, skin-like fragrance experience.
