Eau de Parfum

There are different types of perfume, and the main difference is the concentration. A regular parfum, for example, contains more than 20% oil and is the strongest category. Eau de parfum comes next with a concentration of 15 to 20%. Eau de parfum is the best-known and most common category in perfumes.

How long does eau de parfum last?

Eau de parfum lasts for a good amount of time but is not strong enough to transfer to someone else or as overpowering as a real parfum. Typically, an eau de parfum lasts for about 5 to 8 hours.

It is very important to always close your eau de parfum properly after use, otherwise, it will lose its scent over time. The concentration will decrease as a result. This is even more important for perfumes due to their higher concentration.

What's the difference between eau de parfum and parfum?

It is important to distinguish between parfum and eau de parfum. Parfum is more concentrated and therefore more expensive and lasts longer. Eau de parfum is more affordable and contains more alcohol.

What's the difference between eau de parfum and toilette?

Eau de toilette has a concentration of 5 to 15% and thus lasts for about 2 to 3 hours. The lower concentration also makes it slightly cheaper than eau de parfum, but you need more of it because it fades faster.

Which is better depends on your preference and what you find important in a men’s fragrance.

Is eau de parfum for men?
