Eau de Parfum (EDP) and Eau de Cologne (EDC) differ primarily in the concentration of their fragrance oils.

• Eau de Parfum (EDP): Contains a higher concentration of fragrance oils (around 15-20%). This results in a more intense and longer-lasting scent, often persisting on the skin for 6-8 hours.
• Eau de Cologne (EDC): Has a significantly lower concentration of fragrance oils (usually 2-4%). This creates a lighter, fresher scent that tends to fade within a few hours.

Which one should I choose?

• If you prefer a stronger, more noticeable fragrance that lasts longer, Eau de Parfum (EDP) is a better choice.
• If you want a light, refreshing scent, especially for warmer weather, then Eau de Cologne (EDC) is a good option.

Selecting the perfect perfume takes some consideration, whether it's for you or a loved one. Here's a guide to help you choose:

Choosing a Perfume for Yourself

1. Understand Your Preferences: Think about the types of scents you usually enjoy (floral, citrusy, warm, etc.). Do you like bold and noticeable scents or softer, more subtle ones?
2. Occasion: Consider when you'll wear the fragrance. Special occasions might call for a bolder scent, while work or everyday wear might suit something lighter.
3. Know the Fragrance Families: Learning about fragrance families (floral, woody, oriental, etc.) helps you narrow your search.
4. Test on Skin: Always test perfumes on your own skin, as scent reacts differently from person to person.
5. Seasons: Lighter scents often suit spring and summer, while warmer scents are lovely for colder months.

Choosing a Perfume as a Gift

1. Observe Their Style: Think about the recipient's personality and how they usually dress. Do they prefer classic elegance or something more modern and edgy?
2. Notice Their Current Fragrance: If possible, check what perfumes they already use to get insights into their preferred scent families.
3. Avoid Overly Strong Scents: Unless you're sure they love bold fragrances, a lighter or more versatile perfume is a safer gift option.
4. Consider Allergies: If unsure, opt for hypoallergenic or fragrance-free selections.

While unopened perfumes can last for years, an opened bottle has a reduced shelf life. Generally, you can expect most fragrances to last between 3-5 years after opening. However, these factors significantly affect a perfume's longevity:

• Storage: Keep perfume away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and humidity. A cool, dark place like a drawer or closet is ideal.
• Ingredients: Perfumes with heavier base notes (like musk, amber) tend to last longer than those with primarily light, citrusy, or floral notes.
• Oxygen Exposure: Minimize how often you open the bottle and replace the cap securely after each use to limit oxidation.
• Bottle type: Spray bottles generally preserve perfume better than splash bottles due to reduced air exposure.

Signs of Expiration:

• Changes in Scent: A significantly altered smell, especially any sour or metallic notes, indicates that your perfume has likely turned.
• Color Changes: Darkening or discoloration can signal oxidation and altered fragrance composition.

Tips for extending your perfume's lifespan:

• Buy smaller bottles if you don't use perfume frequently.
• Consider decanting into smaller travel-sized spray bottles.

Oud bakhoor is a traditional Middle Eastern incense made from oud (agarwood) chips or powder. Oud is a precious, highly fragrant resin formed in Aquilaria trees. The wood is infused with essential oils and other aromatic ingredients to create unique bakhoor blends. When burned, oud bakhoor releases a rich, complex, and long-lasting fragrance that is prized for its cultural and spiritual significance.
