Fragrance comes under a number of categories, labeled to determine the concentration of scented ingredient they contain. Eau de Parfum contains an average of 15 – 20%; it is one of the strongest options available just below pure Parfum, but it is much more accessible to buy. It has significant strength in scent and staying power. A single application of an EdP formula has the ability to last an entire working day, so even though it comes with a higher price tag, it is often considered to be the best value for money.
Eau de Cologne, or more simply ‘Cologne’ contains a high grade of fragrance but at a lower percentage of up to 8%, making it a good option for everyday use. The allure of cologne comes from its simplicity, with a focus on using fine ingredients derived from nature.
Eau de Parfum contains a higher percentage of scented oils alongside water and alcohol. The perfume essence is the finest ingredient which defines the scent. The higher price is the result of increased purity, which means it has the strength to last longer, and be used more sparingly.
Our best seller is the original Czech & Speake fragrance: No.88 Cologne Spray 100ml.
There are a number of factors that could explain your concern:
1. Although we aim to keep the fragrance as true to the original formula as possible, there may have been some minor alterations over the years in order to be in compliance with international regulations. This is to ensure the safety of the product.
2. Your own perfume will smell weaker to you over time as nasal receptors become desensitised to familiar smells.
3. As our fragrances contain natural ingredients, they will inevitably mature, therefore a fresh product will vary from one you’ve had for some time.
4. Your sense of smell can change as you get older, affecting how you perceive a scent.
The notes determine the complex way in which a fragrance sets off and reveals itself to you once released from the bottle and when in contact with your skin. Each note layer contains a combination of different essential oils, divided into ‘top’, ‘middle and ‘base’ notes. The top notes hit your nose first and base notes last.
You can identify perfume notes by the order in which they hit your nose. They first spritz will reveal the top notes, which quickly evaporate into the middle notes, and then slowly unfold into the base notes. Top notes tend to be the lightest, using scents that are citrusy, fresh and herbaceous. Middle notes are usually well rounded such as floral or fruity. Base notes are the richest, consisting of woods, spices and musks.
1. Store away from sunlight and keep it in the box. The sun's rays can breakdown the essential oils and weaken the fragrance.
2. Apply at pulse points to clean, moistened skin for a better chance of the fragrance absorbing and lasting.
3. Avoid rubbing your wrists together as this will evaporate the top notes, preventing the fragrance to mature.
Each fragrance varies from person to person depending on your skin type, however an Eau de Parfum (EdP) will last longer than a Cologne.
We recommend you apply a spritz behind each ear and one to the wrist, with a gentle dab across to the other. Avoid rubbing as it can kill the top notes and alter the scent by mixing too heavily with the skin's natural oils.
This is down to personal taste but an application in the morning should remain effective for a full working day, and a re-application would be necessary for the evening occasion.
