Fragrance intensities – Find your perfect strength

Not every fragrance is the same – and not every moment demands the same level of presence. Fragrance intensity determines how strong, how long, and how deeply you perceive a perfume. Whether subtle for everyday wear or bold for the evening – find the concentration that suits you here.

The higher the fragrance intensity, the stronger the longevity and sillage on your skin.

Eau de Cologne (EDC) – delicate, invigorating, unobtrusive

Fragrance oil content: 2–5%
Eau de Cologne is like a refreshing boost in the morning – light, citrusy, and uncomplicated. Ideal for hot summer days, a quick refreshment throughout the day, or a subtle look.

👉 At PARFUMSUITE we do not carry Eaux de Cologne , as our focus is on higher quality fragrance concentrations.


Eau de Toilette (EDT) – clear, elegant, suitable for everyday use

Fragrance oil content: 5–15%
With its balanced character, this eau de toilette is perfect for work, everyday life, or relaxed evenings. Unobtrusive, yet present, and a true classic.

👉 You also won't find Eaux de Toilette with us – we consciously focus on more intense forms of perfume.


Eau de Parfum (EDP) – intense, sensual, full of character

Fragrance oil content: 15–20%
Eau de Parfum unfolds depth and nuances over hours. Ideal for special occasions, elegant dinners, or moments when you want to emphasize your personality.

Eau de Parfum is considered by many to be the ideal balance between presence and everyday wearability.
