Extrait de Parfum vs Eau de Parfum: What Is the Difference?

Perfumes are named by concentration: how much perfume oil is blended into the base. The higher the concentration, the richer the fragrance tends to feel and the longer it usually stays on the skin.

Eau de Parfum

Eau de Parfum is one of the most common concentrations in fine fragrance. It projects well, is easy to wear and suits most occasions.

Extrait de Parfum

Extrait de Parfum, sometimes simply called parfum, is the most concentrated form. It contains a higher proportion of perfume oils, so it tends to sit closer to the skin, develop more slowly and last longer. One or two sprays are usually enough.

Which should you choose?

If you prefer a fragrance that stays with you through the day or evening and reveals its notes gradually, an Extrait de Parfum is the natural choice. Every VERA AURA perfume is a unisex Extrait de Parfum, presented in 50 ml.
