Perfume extract

A perfume extract is the richest and most concentrated type of perfume, revealing the true soul of the scent. In perfumery, there are many different concentrations: perfume extract, Eau de Parfum, cologne, eau de toilette, etc. Perfume extract is the purest form of perfume, which differs from other types primarily in the concentration of essential oils (the main ingredient that gives the perfume its scent). Typically, a perfume extract contains between 20% and 40% essential oils.

At the beginning of the 20th century, perfumes were often created as an extract from a substance in which essential oils are combined and diluted with alcohol to form a particularly rich essence product. The perfume extract has precious and rare notes of natural ingredients. Each formula is unique and uses high-quality ingredients, making perfume extracts more expensive than other perfume types. The perfume extract usually contains luxurious notes such as iris, rose, or jasmine. Musk, bergamot, wood, cedar, vetiver, and patchouli can be found in almost all concentrations.

When and how to use perfume extract?

Perfume extract is usually applied to the skin, and just a few drops are enough to bring out the fragrance, as a small amount of extract is much stronger than Eau de Toilette. The perfume extract can be applied to pulse points (inner wrists and elbows, neck, earlobes, etc.).

For optimal results, moisturize your skin beforehand or apply the perfume extract after showering. On average, the perfume extract stays on the skin for about 8–20 hours. Some perfume extracts can last even longer, depending on the formulation and the ingredients used to make the perfume. The perfume extract can be used both in the morning and evening. Starting the morning with your favorite scent will help you stay positive or even get through the day's stress. When used in the evening, it will have a relaxing effect.

Why does perfume extract dissolve differently on different skin types?

It is essential to know that perfume extract, like Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, or cologne, will affect each person differently. The scent of human skin blends with the main notes of the perfume to create a magical harmony. The skin is a unique organ; each of us has our smell, which varies depending on several factors (skin pH, diet, activity, medications, etc.). Perfume extract is a work of art that creates a unique combination with our skin and a fragrance that reflects our personality. If you dream of discovering a fragrance that best reflects you and becomes an everyday part of your look, then perfume extract is exactly what you should try.
