If you need a pick me up for some self-care, are hunting for a gift that keeps on giving, or hope to stand out on a special date, there’s no better way to treat the important people in your life – and yes, that includes you – than with the allure of Eau de Parfum.  

Every Eau de parfum is a bottle of delight

‘Parfum’, ‘Eau de Parfum’, ‘Eau de toilette’ – with so many names for ladies perfume it can be tricky to navigate all the different options available. Whether you’re shopping for yourself, your bestie, or looking for a perfume for her, there’s a world of enticing fragrances out there to enchant the senses.

What’s the difference between Eau de Parfum and Eau de Toilette?

Confused about the difference between Eau de Parfum and Eau de Toilette? It comes down to the percentage of fragrance oil in the bottle. The higher the percentage, the longer the scent will last. You’ll find an Eau De Toilette, with about 10-15% essence, can typically last around 4-6 hours. If you want something a little longer lasting, Eau de Parfum will linger all day long. It has bolder and deeper fragrance notes, is concentrated at 15-20% and can last up to 8-10 hours.  

How to choose the perfect scent?

Floral, earthy, musky… With so many fragrance profiles, choosing one may feel overwhelming. One tip is to narrow your choice down to your favourite scent families. Do you enjoy deeper, earthier notes? Perhaps the floral scent transports you to another time and place? The right scent will evoke a strong feeling or response. When it comes to perfume—go with your instincts.

How to choose the perfect perfume for her?

If you’re buying an Eau de Parfum as a gift and aren’t sure what she’ll love, think about how you’d describe her and what sort of fragrance she might typically wear – dark and mysterious or soft and sweet? Citrus, earthy or more subtle? For many women, perfume is as much a part of their wardrobe as their clothes, so consider how she dresses too.

Consider the design of the bottle and what she may enjoy. What is her style, and her aesthetic? Every bottle of Eau de Parfum looks as beautiful as it smells. Whether your style is elegant and refined, fun-loving and fresh or mystical and exotic, it isn’t hard to find an Eau de Parfum that matches your vibe, or theirs.   

No matter who you’re picking a fragrance for, every bottle of Eau de Parfum is just as unique as the woman who wears it. Find the perfect scent by shopping the range of your favourite brands at Myer today.
