Eau de Parfum

Let’s talk eau de parfum. It’s a potent concentration of fragrance oils – anywhere from 15 to 30 percent, but usually around 20 percent – that wears all day and has a lasting sillage (the trail of scent it leaves in the air), requiring fewer sprays and reapplications. More complex and with extended staying power, EDPs evolve on the skin, revealing exciting new notes as they ‘dry down’. Whether you’re selecting your signature scent or building out a wardrobe of wearable fragrances, EDP perfumes are worth lingering over.
