Fragrance basics

EDP, EDT and everything between

Understand the label before choosing your next bottle.

By The Magnifiscent team

The label is a starting point.

Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum and Extrait are concentration descriptions. They can help you distinguish versions of a fragrance, but the name alone does not guarantee how long a fragrance lasts or how far it projects.

Compare the exact version

A fragrance with the same name in a different concentration may have a different composition. Compare the title, concentration and notes together, and check the bottle size before buying.

Wear matters too

Skin, weather, application and the formula affect your experience. Start with a light application and adjust to the occasion. If we have not assessed a product’s performance, its page says so.

Choose by character

Freshness, florals, woods or sweetness will tell you more about what you might enjoy than choosing solely by a concentration label. Find a starting point in the scent reading, or compare the collection.
