Introduction

Perfumes are not just scents; they are a reflection of personality, taste, and style. With the variety of perfume types and their different compositions, it's important to understand the nature of each type to choose the perfect scent for you, whether in Saudi Arabia or the Gulf, where the use of perfumes is an integral part of everyday culture.

What's the difference between perfume types?
Perfumes are classified according to the concentration of essential oil, which directly affects the strength and durability of the fragrance. Here are the main classifications:

1. Parfum - Concentrated Perfume
Highest concentration of essential oils (20-30%)

Lasts up to 12 hours or more

Ideal for special occasions and dry climates

2. Eau de Parfum - Eau de Parfum
Concentration of 15-20%

Lasts 6 to 8 hours

Most commonly used in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf due to its balance of longevity and strength

3. Eau de Toilette - Eau de Toilette
5-15% concentration

Lasts 3-5 hours

Suitable for daily or summer use

4. Eau de Cologne - Eau de Cologne
2-5% concentration

Lasts 1-3 hours

Ideal for refreshing the body, not for long-lasting wear
