A fragrance is usually a mix of a concentrate (containing fragrant oils) and an alcoholic base. Some fragrances can also contain a bit of water and additives like liquid UV filters, stabilizers or colourants. Therefore, fragrances with a higher fragrance concentration contain more perfume oils and less alcohol, and vice-versa.
Usually, a higher perfume oil concentration means an increased performance of the fragrance (particularly longer-lasting scent) – but the impact of oil concentration is much more complex and varies depending on each formula.
The main difference is the amount of perfume oil in the perfumes. Industry Averages for an eau de toilette EDT are 3%-10% oils, an Eau de Parfum EDP 5%-15% oils and for an extrait 20%-30% oils. At Amouage, our core offerings of Eau de Parfum EDP contains a generous 20-30% oil concentration and our extraits contain 35-56% perfume oils.
Eau de Cologne (EDC) 3% - 10% oils
Eau de Toilette (EDT) 5% - 15% oils
Eau de Parfum (EDP) 15% - 20% oils
Parfum / Extrait 20% - 30% oils
