Fragrance is deeply personal ; it becomes a part of your identity, a silent signature. But when browsing for the perfect scent, you’ll often come across terms like Parfum, Eau de Parfum, and Eau de Toilette. While they may seem interchangeable, each offers a different experience in terms of longevity, intensity, and composition.
At Atmos Living, we believe choosing the right fragrance is about more than just scent ; it's about how it fits into your rhythm, mood, and intention. Let’s explore the difference between these three categories so you can find what works best for you.
Parfum, also known as Perfume or Extrait de Parfum, contains the highest concentration of fragrance oils, typically ranging from 20% to 30%.
Longest lasting: A single application can last 8 - 10+ hours.
Luxurious depth: It reveals rich base notes and evolves slowly on the skin.
Minimal application needed: A dab is often enough.
This form is all about intensity and opulence. It’s perfect for evenings, special occasions, or when you want your scent to linger.
Note: Atmos Living does not currently offer Pure Perfume ; we focus on Eau de Parfum for its balance of performance and wearability.
At Atmos Living, our fragrances like Dark Amber Eau de Parfum are crafted as Eau de Parfums for a reason. With a concentration of 15-20%, EDPs offer a beautifully balanced experience that lasts without overwhelming.
Long-lasting wear: Typically 6 - 8 hours, depending on your skin type.
Layered scent story: Opens with brighter notes, settles into a warm base.
Versatile: Suitable for both daytime and evening wear.
Whether you're headed to a meeting or stepping out for the night, EDP adapts to your day ; evolving with your skin, mood, and moment.
Try This: Dark Amber Eau de Parfum ; a sensuous blend of amber, musk, and florals that lingers beautifully.
Eau de Toilette contains a lower concentration of fragrance oils ; usually around 5% to 12%. It’s lighter on the skin and ideal for a quick refresh.

EDTs usually last 2- 4 hours and focus more on top and heart notes, giving you an immediate burst of freshness that gently fades.
Note: At Atmos Living, we currently do not offer Eau de Toilette, as we focus on higher-concentration fragrances designed for a lasting impression.
