The Vanilles Absolues Collection: Understanding Extraits

The launch of the Vanilles Absolues collection opens the door to a world of fragrant potential–
the possibility for scent that is more intense, richer, and longer-lasting, due to the fact that they are extraits de parfum.


 

In perfumery, extrait (sometimes simply called parfum) refers to the highest concentration of fragrance oils (between 20 and 40%), which results in an elevated scent profile. Other concentrations include eau de parfum, which has a slightly lower percentage of oils, and eau de toilette, which has the lowest percentage and is most suited for light everyday wear. The remaining ingredients are typically a mixture of alcohol and water. 

Extraits are highly covetable due to their ability to produce complex scents, with emphasis on deep heart notes. They also have a lower alcohol content, making them less drying and suitable for sensitive skin. They are usually found only at high-end and luxury fragrance houses, elevating their appeal. 

Only a small dab of an extrait de parfum is needed for all-day sillage; for those in search of a memorable, multifaceted signature scent with distinct accords, look no further than the Vanilles Absolues trio, which explores three different takes on the emblematic note of vanilla.
