Eau de parfum or extrait?
Concentration names are a starting point. The composition still matters.
Understand the label
Eau de toilette, eau de parfum and extrait describe broad concentration categories. They are not a universal promise of strength or longevity.
The same name, a different composition
An extrait may change the balance of notes rather than simply make the eau de parfum stronger. Always compare the exact versions.
Sample before deciding
Weather, application and skin can change how a perfume feels. Wear both versions on separate days before choosing.
