What is Parfum
Parfum, also known as perfume extract, is the most concentrated form of perfumery. This type of fragrance has a high concentration of aromatic oils, generally above 20%, resulting in perfumes with excellent longevity, balanced projection, and sophisticated evolution on the skin.
Due to its richer composition, Parfum provides a deeper olfactory experience, allowing for a clear perception of the different phases of the fragrance over time.
Characteristics of Parfum perfumes
Parfum perfumes stand out for their elegant intensity and prolonged durability. Unlike lighter fragrances, they offer a striking presence without necessarily relying on excessive projection.
These fragrances usually feature denser and more refined notes, such as woody, oriental, balsamic, and musky accords, creating sophisticated and enveloping compositions.
Another important point is the application: because they are more concentrated, small amounts are sufficient to ensure long-lasting fragrance.
Difference between Parfum and Eau de Parfum
The main difference lies in the concentration of the fragrance. While Eau de Parfum has between 15% and 20% of aromatic oils, Parfum exceeds this level, offering greater intensity and longevity.
In practice, this means that Parfum tends to last longer on the skin and presents a slower and more sophisticated evolution, while Eau de Parfum can be more versatile for daily use.
When to use Parfum perfumes
Parfum perfumes are ideal for special occasions, evening events, or moments when a fragrance with greater presence and sophistication is desired.
They are also an excellent choice for those looking for a long-lasting signature scent that can last throughout the day with few reapplications.
In colder climates or controlled environments, Parfum tends to develop even more elegantly, highlighting its nuances over time.
