Understanding Perfume Types: Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, and More


Eau de Parfum (EDP) bottle by Solstice Perfumes - Long-lasting and luxurious scent inspired by designer brands

When it comes to choosing a fragrance, understanding the different types of perfume concentrations is essential for finding a scent that aligns with your preferences in terms of longevity and intensity. In this guide, we’ll dive into the various types of perfumes—from Eau de Parfum to Extrait de Parfum—and help you navigate which type might be the best fit for your lifestyle.


1. Eau de Parfum (EDP): The Perfect Balance of Longevity and Intensity


Eau de Parfum (EDP) is one of the most popular types of fragrances due to its lasting power and balanced concentration. With an average concentration of 15-20% aromatic compounds, EDPs can typically last 6 to 8 hours on the skin. This makes them ideal for both daytime and evening wear, providing a fragrance experience that lingers without being overpowering.

At Solstice Perfumes, we specialize in crafting Eau de Parfum fragrances that embody the essence of luxury brands. Using fine ingredients sourced from around the world, our EDPs offer a premium, long-lasting experience that’s often 90-95% similar to iconic designer scents.


2. Eau de Toilette (EDT): Lighter and Refreshing for Daily Wear


Eau de Toilette, or EDT, contains a lower concentration of fragrance oils (typically around 5-15%), making it a lighter and more refreshing option. EDTs generally last about 3 to 5 hours, perfect for those who prefer a subtle scent that won’t dominate their surroundings. This type is especially popular in warmer climates or as a fresh choice for everyday wear.


While Solstice Perfumes primarily focuses on Eau de Parfum and Extrait de Parfum, our fragrance collection includes options that capture the essence of Eau de Toilette’s light, refreshing appeal through our innovative blends.


3. Extrait de Parfum: Luxurious, Rich, and Intensely Long-Lasting


For those who seek depth, richness, and longevity, Extrait de Parfum, also known as Parfum or Pure Perfume, is an ideal choice. With the highest concentration of fragrance oils (around 20-30%), Extrait de Parfum offers unmatched longevity and intensity, often lasting 12 hours or more. This concentration is perfect for those special occasions where you want a fragrance that lingers with elegance.


At Solstice Perfumes, we create Extrait de Parfum scents that are crafted to evoke a sense of luxury and sophistication. Inspired by iconic luxury brands, our Extrait de Parfums bring forth rich, layered scents that evolve beautifully over time.

4. Eau de Cologne and Eau Fraîche: Light, Crisp, and Perfect for Summer


Eau de Cologne and Eau Fraîche are light, refreshing fragrance types with lower oil concentrations. Eau de Cologne has around 2-4% concentration, while Eau Fraîche is even lighter, often containing 1-3% oil concentration. These fragrances are ideal for warm weather or as a quick, refreshing spritz, though they last only 1-2 hours on the skin.


Though Solstice Perfumes doesn’t primarily focus on these lighter concentrations, our blends capture the essence of fresh, clean notes, providing a fragrance option for every season and mood.


Choosing the Right Perfume for You


Selecting the right perfume type ultimately depends on how you want your fragrance to work with your daily routine and personal style. If you prefer a fragrance with staying power and intensity, opt for Eau de Parfum or Extrait de Parfum. If you prefer a more delicate, light scent, Eau de Toilette or even Eau Fraîche could be the perfect match.
