The label on a perfume tells you how concentrated it is, and concentration affects how long it lasts and how far it travels.
| Type | Concentration | Character |
|---|---|---|
| Eau de toilette (EDT) | Lighter | Fresh, shorter-lasting |
| Eau de parfum (EDP) | Higher | Longer-lasting, fuller |
| Perfume oil (dehn) | Concentrated, no alcohol | Close to skin, very long-lasting |
What we make
Our perfumes, such as Sheikh Zayed and Gemini, are eau de parfum, chosen for longevity in the Gulf climate. Our oud oils are concentrated, alcohol-free oils.
Which to choose?
- For everyday longevity: eau de parfum.
- For a personal, intimate trail or before prayer: perfume oil.
- For the best of both: layer oil under EDP. See oud oil vs oud perfume.
