Extrait de Parfum vs Eau de Parfum: Why Concentration Matters More Than You Think

When choosing a perfume, most people focus on the fragrance name or brand. However, one of the most important factors that defines a perfume’s performance is its concentration. Understanding the difference between Extrait de Parfum and Eau de Parfum can completely change how you experience fragrance.

What Is Extrait de Parfum?

Extrait de Parfum is the highest concentration of fragrance oil available. Typically ranging between 25% to 40%, it delivers intense aroma, longer longevity, and deeper character.

Because of this high concentration, Extrait de Parfum:

• Lasts significantly longer on skin

• Develops richer layers over time

• Requires fewer sprays

• Feels more luxurious and intimate

At MAFAZ, our perfumes are crafted at 30–40% Extrait concentration, ensuring bold performance without harshness.

Eau de Parfum Explained

Eau de Parfum (EDP) usually contains 12% to 20% fragrance oil. While it performs well for daily use, it fades faster and often needs reapplication.

EDPs are lighter, but they don’t always deliver the depth and longevity that fragrance lovers seek.

Which One Should You Choose?

If you want:

• Long-lasting performance

• Strong yet refined projection

• Premium fragrance experience

Extrait de Parfum is the superior choice.

This is why MAFAZ focuses on Extrait concentration — to ensure every fragrance leaves a lasting impression and truly represents your aura.
