How to choose your scent？
Our Cera Sine Cera fragrance oils contain 15-30% fragrance concentration for long-lasting scent.
-
Parfum
With a potent 20%+ fragrance oil concentration, parfums provide incredible longevity from morning until evening - typically 6-8 hours. However, this superior performance comes at a premium price. For those with sensitive skin, parfums are an excellent choice as they contain minimal alcohol compared to other fragrance types, reducing the risk of dryness. -
Eau de Parfum (EDP)
The next highest concentration is eau de parfum at 15-20% oils. You can expect a robust 4-5 hour fragrance projection from an EDP. Versatile for any occasion, this type offers reliable performance at a more affordable cost than parfums. -
Eau de Toilette (EDT)
Eau de toilette contains 5-15% fragrance oils. One of the most popular and economical options, EDTs typically last 2-3 hours, making them well-suited for daily wear. Some consider EDTs more appropriate for daytime, while eau de parfums are seen as evening fragrances. A portable travel spray can allow for easy reapplication throughout the day. -
Eau de Cologne (EDC)
With only 2-4% oils and high alcohol content, eau de colognes have a relatively light concentration. This renders them inexpensive but limits longevity to around 2 hours of wear. EDCs often come in larger bottles to accommodate more frequent application. Traditionally, they featured herbal and citrus notes with minimal base notes. -
Eau Fraiche
Similar to eau de cologne in lasting up to 2 hours, eau fraiches have an even lower 1-3% oil concentration. However, they are predominantly water-based rather than alcohol-based, providing a gentler option for those with sensitive skin.
