What is Eau de Parfum?
Eau de Parfum is a term used in the perfume industry to classify a type of perfume. Eau de Parfum is a concentration of fragrance oil in a perfume and falls in the concentration range between Eau de Toilette and pure perfume. The concentration of fragrance oil in Eau de Parfum typically varies between 15% and 20%. As a result, it has a longer-lasting scent than Eau de Toilette but is not as intense as pure perfume.
In what way is Eau de Parfum better than Eau de Toilette and Eau de Cologne?
Eau de Parfum contains the highest concentration of fragrances. This means that the scent is stronger, and you can smell it throughout the day, even up to a few days later. It is also the most expensive variant among perfumes compared to Eau de Toilette and Eau de Cologne. With Eau de Parfum, you only need to apply a few drops to smell good all day!
How long does Eau de Parfum last?
The longevity of Eau de Parfum depends on the quality of the ingredients and various factors. In general, an unopened perfume bottle can last up to 5 years, and an opened bottle about 3 years.
To ensure that your perfume lasts longer, you can do a few things. Store your perfume in a dark, cool place, such as in the closet. Also, avoid exposure to sunlight and heat, as they can alter the chemical composition of the perfume, affecting the scent.

Did you know that you should never rub Eau de Parfum but let it dry in the air?

Also, the top notes can be released faster due to the warmth, leading to the scent fading more quickly.
