Extrait de Parfum represents the most concentrated and profound form of a fragrance. Just a few drops are enough to reveal an intense, intimate and long-lasting olfactory richness. Premiere Avenue showcases Extraits de Parfum that highlight noble materials and the most accomplished expression of a composition.
Extrait de Parfum is the most elevated form of an olfactory creation. Its high concentration of fragrance materials gives it a more intimate presence, close to the skin, with a slow and nuanced evolution. While lighter concentrations reveal their character more quickly, the extrait unfolds gradually, offering a depth that is rarely matched.
This gesture, often applied in small touches, is associated with a more personal expression of perfume. Great perfume houses use extrait to let raw materials speak in all their richness: a denser amber accord, a velvety flower, a more enveloping wood. Extrait de Parfum becomes a way of wearing fragrance with intensity, yet without ostentation.
Extrait de Parfum relies on deep notes focused on the heart and base of the composition. Volatile materials such as citrus play only a discreet role, leaving room for woods, opulent florals, amber notes, resins and musks, which build the structure of the fragrance.
This format is ideal for exploring focused universes. Women’s Extraits de Parfum reveal more intense, cocooning compositions, while Men’s Extraits de Parfum offer a deeper take on woods, amber notes and resinous accords. For those seeking even more density, Parfums Absolu push raw materials to their most concentrated expression.
Perfumers use extrait to craft more textured, almost tactile accords, with long wear that follows you throughout the day without losing precision. To play with different intensities, other concentrations can complement extrait: the balanced presence of an Eau de Parfum, the freshness of an Eau de Cologne, the lightness of an Eau de Toilette or the skin-like softness of perfumed oils.
Choosing an Extrait de Parfum means deciding what you want to feel or share. Lovers of warm fragrances will gravitate toward amber or woody accords, which gain volume with this concentration. Those who seek comfort will enjoy creamy florals, more enveloping than in lighter formats.
Extrait is particularly suited to moments when you want an intimate scent, close to the skin. Some people layer it with other concentrations to create a personal signature, combining extrait with an Eau de Parfum or an Eau de Toilette with wider diffusion. To enrich the experience, you can also explore women’s perfumes, the more assertive profiles of men’s perfumes or the curated selections found in perfume gift sets.
Exceptional perfume houses treat Extrait de Parfum as an exercise in precision. It is where they develop their olfactory style with great freedom, often with fewer technical constraints than in lighter concentrations. Some choose a minimalist approach centred on a single enhanced raw material: a deep vanilla, a noble wood, an intense flower. Others build more complex architectures, playing with warmth, roundness and sensuality.
In extrait form, every detail matters: the quality of ingredients, the coherence of the structure, the way the fragrance evolves on the skin. It is a concentrate created for those who wish to experience perfume in a more personal, almost confidential way.

The main difference lies in concentration. Extrait de Parfum is the most concentrated form, focusing on heart and base notes for a slow, intimate evolution on the skin. Eau de Parfum is lighter, with a more projecting trail and faster diffusion. Extrait is usually applied in small touches close to the skin, while EDP is better suited to daily wear and those who prefer a more noticeable scent.
Yes, Extrait de Parfum generally has longer longevity than Eau de Parfum. Its high concentration allows deep notes to remain on the skin for many hours, sometimes all day. Diffusion is softer, but persistence is stronger, making it ideal for those who want a long-lasting yet understated fragrance.
Extrait de Parfum should be applied in very small quantities. Place one or two drops on warm pulse points—such as the hollow of the neck, wrists, behind the ears or inside the elbow—using fingertips without rubbing. You may also apply a tiny amount on clothing after testing on a discreet area. This precise application lets you fully enjoy its richness.
Extrait de Parfum is ideal for those who seek a deep, intimate and long-lasting fragrance. It suits people sensitive to strong projection, as it sits close to the skin and reveals materials gently. It particularly appeals to lovers of amber, woody, dense floral or resinous compositions, and to anyone who sees perfume as a personal, almost secret gesture.
Yes, Extrait de Parfum can be worn daily if you enjoy intimate, concentrated scents. Its soft diffusion makes it suitable for professional environments and shared spaces. Its long wear is ideal for those who want their fragrance to last all day without reapplication—just one drop is often enough.
