When shopping for luxury perfumes—especially those crafted in Dubai—you may come across terms like Extrait de Parfum and Eau de Parfum (EDP). But what do they actually mean, and how do you choose the right one for your needs? Let’s break it down in a clear, easy-to-compare way.
✨ Why Dubai-Made Perfumes Stand Out
Dubai is globally recognized for producing some of the most luxurious and concentrated fragrances. Many of these perfumes feature oud, amber, musk, and other rich oriental ingredients—making them long-lasting and incredibly elegant. But even within this premium world, not all perfumes are created equal.
🧾 Comparison: Extrait de Parfum vs Eau de Parfum (EDP)
| Feature | Extrait de Parfum | Eau de Parfum (EDP) |
| Perfume Oil Concentration | 25% – 40% | 15% – 20% |
| Longevity | 8 – 12+ hours | 6 – 8 hours |
| Sillage (Projection) | Moderate to strong (closer to skin) | Moderate to strong (wider projection) |
| Intensity | Very rich, deep, and concentrated | Strong but more airy than Extrait |
| Recommended Usage | Special occasions, evening, cooler weather | Daily wear, all-season versatility |
| Feel on Skin | Oily texture, luxurious finish | Lighter, more alcohol-based spray |
| Price Range | Higher, due to more perfume oil | More affordable, but still luxurious |
| Refinement Level | Artisanal, niche-quality emphasis | Balanced between high-end and accessibility |
| Dubai-Specific Traits | Rich oud, amber, musk; extremely long-lasting | Oud, florals, vanilla, spices; still strong |
| Bottle Labeling Tip | Often labeled “Extrait,” “Pure Perfume,” or “Parfum” | Usually labeled “Eau de Parfum” or “EDP” |
🧠 Quick Memory Tips
Extrait = Extra
More perfume oil. More intensity. More staying power. Ideal for signature scents, evening wear, or cooler weather.
EDP = Everyday
Still powerful, but lighter. A go-to for daytime, office wear, or casual elegance.
