How do you choose the perfect perfume? And how do you know if it will give you the scent you’re looking for?
Your understanding of fragrances and their concentration levels is key to selecting a perfume that suits your style and personality.
In today’s article from Jasmine Perfumes, we’ll explain the perfume concentration levels, the main types of perfumes, and the key differences between them. Stay with us as we guide you through the world of perfume concentrations. Let’s begin!
Every perfume has a specific concentration level, which typically determines the intensity of the fragrance oils, the amount of alcohol it contains, and its average longevity. Understanding the differences in perfume concentrations allows you to distinguish between six main types. These are summarized in the following perfume concentration table:
| Type of Perfume | Concentration Percentage | Longevity |
| Perfume | 20% – 40% | 12 -24 hour |
| Eau de Parfum | 15% – 20% | 6 – 8 hour |
| Eau de Toilette | 5% – 15%. | 4 – 6 hour |
| Eau de Cologne | 2% – 5% | 2 hour |
| Eau Fraiche | 1% – 3% | 1- 2 hour |
| Fragrance Oils | 10 % – 20% | 8 hours |

Perfume concentration refers to its strength—the higher the concentration, the purer the fragrance, containing a greater amount of essential oils and less alcohol. To familiarize yourself with the different types of perfumes based on their concentrations, which we briefly covered in the previous table, here is a more detailed explanation:
Perfume, or Parfum, is the highest concentration of fragrance oils, crafted from a precise blend of aromatic oils extracted from natural sources like flowers, woods, and fruits, or high-quality synthetic compounds. It is characterized by its rich, heavy, and oily consistency.
Eau de Parfum is one of the most popular types of perfumes thanks to its balance between concentration and quality. It is made from balanced formulations of natural extracts such as flowers and woods, along with precise synthetic compounds that ensure the purity of the scent and a less dense consistency compared to pure perfume.
Eau de Toilette is an old term that originally referred to a cleansing water added to bathwater, which has evolved into a fragrant concentration. It is generally lighter and less complex than Eau de Parfum, with a non-oily texture, composed of aromatic oils like florals and citrus, giving it a refreshing character.
Eau de Cologne is one of the oldest forms and levels of perfumes. Crafted from top, middle, and base notes, the fragrance generally consists of citrus, floral, and herbaceous tones. Eau de Cologne is incredibly refreshing and light, often used as a revitalizer or an aftershave moisturizer.
Eau Fraiche might be considered the weakest among all perfume types. It is a light, delicate, and gentle scent primarily composed of fresh water, which helps cleanse and refresh your skin. The low concentration of this water creates a casual, less intense aroma compared to cologne and deodorants.

Fragrance oils are the fundamental component responsible for the scent in the perfume Industry. They are characterized by their dense texture, which ensures the richness and depth of the fragrance composition. Extracted from natural sources such as flowers, fruits, and woods, or meticulously synthesized, these oils give the perfume its distinctive identity.

To increase the concentration of a perfume, the alcohol content is reduced and the concentration of essential oils used in the formulation is increased, along with choosing materials that have high stability.
The concentration percentage of original perfumes depends on their classification. Extrait de Parfum contains an essential oil concentration ranging from 20% to 40%, which gives it strong longevity. Meanwhile, Eau de Parfum ranges from 15% to 20%, striking a balance between strength and diffusion.
The highest concentration in perfumes is found in Extrait de Parfum or pure perfume, which contains an essential oil percentage ranging from 20% to 40%. This concentration is known for its strong scent and high stability, making it the ideal choice for long-lasting performance and distinctive aromatic effectiveness.
The concentration of alcohol varies depending on the type of perfume, typically ranging from 70% to 90% in most formulations. High-purity ethyl alcohol is used as a solvent to dilute the essential oils and ensure rapid evaporation, enhancing the even and effective distribution of the fragrance.
