Find your perfect concentration:

The concentration of a perfume is the percentage of pure fragrance oil to ethanol and stabilizing ingredients, which determines how long it will last.

  • Pure perfume: At 20+ percent perfume oil, this is the most potent concentration

  • Eau de parfum (EDP): At 15 to 20 percent perfume oil, this popular choice allows you to switch up your scent from day to night

  • Eau de toilette (EDT): At 10 to 15 percent perfume oil, this concentration can be applied throughout the day
