Whether you are a long-time perfume lover or just dipping your toes into the world of perfumery for the first time, you’ve probably heard Extrait perfumes being mentioned and you’ve probably wondered if they’re worth your money and if they last longer than Eau de Parfums.
Whilst both are popular formats, they have their own place with differences in concentration, performance and how the fragrance behaves on the skin. Understanding these distinctions is a key part of your perfume journey and can help you choose the option that best suits your lifestyle and scent preferences. Eau de Parfums typically contain around 15-20% fragrance oil, making a good and versatile choice for everyday wear, especially as the price point tends to be lower for these as they are lighter.
Extrait de Parfum is the most concentrated form of fragrance available. With a significantly higher oil content, extrait perfumes are designed to last longer and wear closer to the skin. At KDJ Inspired, our extrait option contains an impressive 50% fragrance oil, delivering exceptional depth, richness and longevity. This higher concentration allows the scent to unfold more slowly, creating a smoother, more refined scent experience that should last well into the day and beyond.
Extraits contain less alcohol than Eau de Parfum and so will evaporate more slowly, which is a key factor in why the extrait will outperform in terms of wear time. A small application goes a long way, making extraits the ideal and practical choice for those who want a lasting presence without heavy projection.
At KDJ Inspired, extrait concentration is available across our inspired fragrance ranges, giving you the flexibility to choose how intense and long-lasting you want your scent to be. If you’re seeking inspired perfumes that offer superior longevity and luxury-level performance, why not explore the extrait options in our collections now.
