Top, heart, and base notes – how a fragrance is structured
Most perfumes unfold in three phases. You notice the top note immediately after spraying – it is often fresh and citrusy, but it evaporates quickly. After a few minutes, the heart note comes to the fore and defines the character of the fragrance, for example with rose, jasmine, or spices. The base note lasts the longest on the skin: woods, amber, musk, vanilla, or oud give the fragrance depth and longevity.
Extrait, Eau de Parfum, or Eau de Toilette?
The difference lies in the fragrance oil concentration. The higher it is, the more intense and usually longer-lasting the fragrance will be. As a rough guide, you can use these values:
- Extrait de Parfum / Parfum: approximately 20 to 40% fragrance oil – very intense, a few sprays are enough
- Eau de Parfum: approximately 10 to 20% – the everyday favorite of many fragrance fans
- Eau de Toilette: approximately 5 to 12% – lighter, ideal for warm days
- Eau de Cologne: approximately 2 to 5% – fresh and zesty, evaporates more quickly
Each perfume house determines the exact values itself. Using the “Fragrance Type” filter above, you can quickly find the right concentration.
Find the right fragrance
Do you already know which direction you like? Then browse directly by fragrance family, for example woody fragrances, floral fragrances, oriental fragrances, or fresh fragrances. Or you can look specifically at women’s fragrances, men’s fragrances, and unisex fragrances.
How to make your perfume last longer
- Spray the fragrance on warm, well-circulated areas such as the neck, nape, or wrists.
- It is best to apply it to freshly moisturized skin – on dry skin, it will evaporate more quickly.
- Do not rub your wrists together after spraying, so that the fragrance notes are preserved.
- Store your bottles in a cool, dark place and keep them tightly closed – not in the bathroom.
