Discover Your Signature Scent: Exploring the World of Fragrances at Northern Alchemist.

Perfumes and aftershaves come in various forms and concentrations, each with its own unique characteristics and intensity. Here are some of the different types:

Parfum (Perfume): Parfum, also known as perfume extract or extrait de parfum, is the most concentrated form of fragrance. It typically contains a high concentration of fragrance oils, usually ranging from 15% to 40%. Due to its high concentration, parfum has a long-lasting scent and usually requires only a small amount to be applied. It tends to be the most expensive type of fragrance.

Eau de Parfum (EDP): Eau de Parfum contains a lower concentration of fragrance oils compared to parfum, usually ranging from 10% to 20%. Despite being less concentrated, Eau de Parfum still offers a long-lasting scent and is considered more affordable than parfum. It is a popular choice for everyday wear.

Eau de Toilette (EDT): Eau de Toilette has a lower concentration of fragrance oils compared to Eau de Parfum, typically ranging from 5% to 15%. As a result, EDT has a lighter scent and tends to fade more quickly. It is often used for casual or daytime wear.

Eau de Cologne (EDC): Eau de Cologne has the lowest concentration of fragrance oils among perfume types, usually around 2% to 5%. It has a refreshing and invigorating scent and is commonly used as a body splash or aftershave. Eau de Cologne is lighter and less intense than Eau de Parfum and Eau de Toilette.

Aftershave: Aftershave is a scented liquid or lotion applied to the skin after shaving to soothe irritation and provide a pleasant fragrance. Aftershaves typically have a lower concentration of fragrance oils compared to perfumes and are often infused with moisturizing ingredients such as aloe vera or glycerin.
