Eau de Parfum
Wearing perfume is like choosing an invisible accessory, yet crucial: the right fragrance can elevate any look discreetly, conveying class, sensuality, determination to those you meet. Choosing the "perfect fragrance" is complicated, but not impossible, especially for those who favor artistic perfumery and want to discover the precious secrets this sector can offer. To explore the world of fragrances, an excellent starting point is to immerse yourself in the foundations of perfumery, paying particular attention to Eau de Parfum, so beloved and sought after, especially by enthusiasts.
What is an Eau de Parfum?
Eau de Parfum, often abbreviated as EDP, is a type of perfume that is long-lasting, intense, and strong. These characteristics make Eau de Parfum particularly loved by all those who want to scent themselves all day and leave an intense trail of perfume in their wake (the so-called "sillage"). It is typically an elegant and multifaceted perfume, playing with the intensity of olfactory notes to recreate a unique and inimitable effect. The top notes unfold upon application, as soon as the perfume is sprayed; the heart notes, instead, represent the most important part of the formula, the olfactory core of the fragrance; the base notes, finally, are those that last longest on the skin.
What is the Difference between Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum?
Eau de Parfum is a type of perfume significantly stronger, more intense, and longer-lasting than Eau de Toilette, a type of perfume much more delicate and light. This difference is due to the different concentration of essential oils contained, which determines the duration, intensity, and trail of each fragrance type. To better understand, let's take a look at how much essential oil is present in different types of perfumes and how this affects their duration, intensity, and persistence in the air.
- Eau de Toilette: has a concentration of essential oils ranging from 12% to 15%. This type of perfume usually lasts about 2 or 3 hours, with a light intensity and a delicate trail. It's the perfect choice for those who prefer to scent themselves discreetly, perhaps for a date or a day at the office.
- Eau de Parfum: has a higher concentration of essential oils, ranging from 15% to 20%. This translates to a duration of about 7 hours, with a strong intensity and a remarkable trail. It's a true must-have for lovers of persistent perfumes, perfect for those who want to leave an indelible impression wherever they go.
- Extrait de Parfum: if we want to talk about a truly intense and long-lasting perfume, we absolutely must mention Perfume Extracts! It has a concentration of essential oils ranging from 20% to 30% and can last for entire days, giving those who wear it a memorable trail with every step. It's ideal for those who want to be the center of attention and leave an indelible impression.
- Eau de Cologne: has a lower concentration of essential oils, between 3% and 5%. This type of perfume lasts about two hours and is characterized by predominantly top notes, fresh and citrusy. Perfect for summer evenings when we want to scent ourselves in a sparkling yet light way.
- Perfumed Water: has a concentration of essential oils similar to that of Eau de Cologne, but usually contains less alcohol. This makes it ideal for daily use, especially on occasions when we want to scent ourselves discreetly.
When to Use Eau de Parfum?
When choosing to wear perfume, it is important to keep in mind some fundamental elements, such as seasons, times of day, or occasions to prefer one perfume over another. Here are our tips for using Eau de Parfum to its fullest:
- Prefer cold seasons: while in spring and summer, it's better to opt for light and fresh fragrances like colognes and scented waters, in winter we can indulge in more intense, persistent, and enveloping perfumes to warm the atmosphere with a magnetic fragrance.
- Eau de Parfum is more captivating in the evening: this type of perfume goes hand in hand with aperitifs, dinners, or evening outings to our favorite places; in short, those moments of the day when we indulge in a more captivating and impactful style.
- During special occasions, make a statement: anniversaries, birthdays, important parties are events where Eau de Parfum completes our look with a truly unique touch of style.
