Why concentration matters
Fragrance concentration determines how much perfume oil is in the formula — and therefore how long the scent lasts and how strong it projects. This is one of the most searched perfume questions worldwide.
Quick comparison
- Parfum / Extrait (20–40% oil): Strongest, longest lasting, most expensive.
- Eau de Parfum / EDP (15–20%): Best balance of longevity and wearability — most popular.
- Eau de Toilette / EDT (5–15%): Lighter, fades faster, good for hot weather.
- Eau de Cologne / EDC (2–5%): Very light, short-lived, often used after shaving.
What Scentico offers
Scentico perfumes are eau de parfum-style sprays designed for 8–12+ hours of wear — the sweet spot most customers want for daily use in Pakistan. Attars are separate: concentrated oils in 6 ML and 12 ML sizes with different application.
Which should you buy?
For most Pakistani customers, an EDP-style spray is ideal — strong enough for a full day, not as heavy as pure parfum. In summer, apply less rather than switching to a weaker concentration. For maximum intensity, explore attars.
