Understanding Perfume Types & Strengths

Perfumes are categorized based on the concentration of aromatic compounds, which directly impacts their strength, longevity, and price. Here’s a breakdown of the most common types:

1. Eau De Parfum (EDP)

Eau De Parfum contains 15–20% perfume oil, offering a long-lasting and well-balanced fragrance. It typically lasts 6–8 hours or more, making it perfect for evening wear and special occasions. If you’re looking for elegant and enduring fragrances, explore the premium Eau De Parfum collection on OXIZUN.

2. Eau De Toilette (EDT)

With a lighter concentration of 5–15% perfume oil, Eau De Toilette is ideal for daytime wear. It lasts about 3–4 hours, offering a refreshing and less intense scent—perfect for warmer climates or casual settings. Browse our fresh EDT fragrances at OXIZUN.

3. Eau De Cologne (EDC)

Eau De Cologne features a low concentration of 2–5% perfume oil, delivering a light and revitalizing aroma. It typically lasts up to 2 hours, and is often used for a quick refresh during the day. Discover invigorating EDC options perfect for on-the-go use at OXIZUN.
