Understanding the Term Extrait de Parfum

Extrait de parfum is a familiar fragrance category associated with comparatively concentrated compositions, but it does not define a single universal formula.

WHAT THE WORD SUGGESTS

Different brands choose different aromatic concentrations, carriers and application formats. A more concentrated perfume can still feel restrained, depending on the materials.

02 / THE DETAILS

WHAT IT DOES NOT GUARANTEE

The title does not guarantee a particular number of hours or a stronger trail. Extrait and oil-based perfume are not interchangeable definitions.

03 / THE DETAILS

HOW TO CHOOSE

Read the actual formulation and directions supplied for a finished product, and judge its character by sampling rather than category alone.

04 / THE XASIS VIEW

THE FINER DETAIL

Terms on cosmetic packaging deserve careful attention. Broad claims are not a substitute for specific, substantiated information about the finished product. The Signature Five are currently presented as design concepts; finished fragrance formula details and availability are confirmed separately.
