Perfume, on the other hand, is known for its higher concentration of fragrance oils—usually between 15-30%—giving it a richer, more long-lasting scent. Women’s perfumes often feature floral, fruity, and sweet top notes, balanced by deep, sensual base notes like vanilla, amber, or musk. Perfume is designed to evolve over time, revealing new layers as it settles on the skin.

Perfume is generally applied sparingly due to its potency and can last for hours, even all day, with just a few sprays. Because of its complexity and intensity, perfume is often associated with elegance and can range from light, fresh scents suitable for daytime, to bold, sultry fragrances perfect for evening wear.
