Perfumes — Essent Perfumes collection banner

Perfumes

An eau de parfum carries fragrance concentrate in alcohol, which lifts the scent off the skin and pushes it outward. This is the sprayed half of the Essent range, in 30ml and 100ml bottles, blended in India in small batches. Notes, wear time and the intended wearer are published on every product page, so you can read the composition rather than the adjectives. Oil and alcohol behave differently on skin, and the comparison of attar, perfume oil and eau de parfum explains when each format is the better buy.

Concentrated attar oil being decanted from a glass vial

Why attar?

An oil outlasts a spray.

An alcohol spray pushes scent outward fast, then fades. An attar is the oil on its own, with no ethanol, so it stays where you put it and unfolds over hours instead of minutes. That is why a small roll-on outlasts a much larger bottle of eau de toilette.
