Our eau de parfum slowly unfurls throughout the day, sharing its top notes in the day and base by night.
What’s the difference between our Eau de Parfum and Eau de Toilette Collections?
Eau de Parfum: An eau de parfum is a long-lasting way to enjoy fragrances at their most pure, for up to eight hours. Blended with 20% oil concentration, one of the highest in which perfumes can be found, our eau de parfum slowly unfurls throughout the day, sharing its top notes in the day and base by night. Wear a few spritzes as the ultimate accessory to special occasions or an evening out.
Eau de Toilette: With between 8-10% fragrance oil concentration and an average lasting power of three hours, an eau de toilette offers a decidedly lighter wear on the skin. Our original eau de toilette reveals its notes over around 3 hours; appoint a light mist at the pulse points for memorable everyday wear, and multiple spritzes whenever you’d like to create a captivating impression.
Olfactive Signature
Each of our Eaux de Parfum is elevated by an olfactive signature – a perfumer-picked signature note to contrast, complement or enrich the original eau de toilette.
Master Perfumer Jacques Chabert, creator of iconic Re-charge Black Pepper chose to amplify his original Eau de Toilette with myrtle pepper for ‘wonderful harmony’: “It’s a robust and complex pepper with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. I like to think of it as a piquant accent that adds a rich additional dimension.”
Did you know?
Fragrance longevity can be enhanced by ‘layering’. Begin with a Bath & Shower Gel as your base, then add a Body Lotion or Body Oil – scents last longer on damp skin – and complete the ritual with your chosen perfume.
