Extrait de Parfum

The most concentrated format in the catalogue. Extrait de Parfum and Parfum carry the highest share of perfume oil, which is why these bottles sit closer to the skin at first, then last far longer and leave more behind on clothing than an Eau de Toilette ever will.

How to wear an Extrait

Use less. One or two sprays is normally enough — the same application you would give an Eau de Toilette will be overpowering, especially indoors and in heat. Extraits also reward being applied to pulse points and left alone rather than rubbed in.

Because of the density, most of these belong to the evening and cooler months; see Evening Fragrances and Winter Fragrances. For a lighter daily option, Eau de Parfum is the better starting point.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Extrait de Parfum stronger than Eau de Parfum?
In concentration, yes — Extrait carries the highest proportion of perfume oil. It generally projects less aggressively at first but lasts considerably longer.

Do the bottles come with the box?
Both. Every fragrance is sold in two versions: Without Box, which is the outlet price, and With Box, which adds the retail outer box for gifting.

Are these fragrances original?
Yes. Every bottle is 100% original and outlet-sourced rather than pulled from a retail counter, which is what keeps the price below department-store rates.
