A Guide to Using Eau de Parfum

Understanding Parfum

Before we dive into application tips, it's essential to understand what is Eau de Parfum (EDP) and Parfum:

• Eau de Cologne (EDC) Concentration: 2-4% perfume oils Longevity: Lasts up to 2 hours Characteristics: Light, fresh, and often citrus-based, EDC is perfect for a quick refresh or for those who prefer a subtle scent. Ideal for hot weather and casual, daytime wear.

• Eau de Toilette (EDT) Concentration: 5-15% perfume oils Longevity: Lasts 2-4 hours Characteristics: A step up in intensity from EDC, EDT offers a noticeable yet light scent. It's versatile and suitable for everyday use, providing a fresh burst of fragrance that’s perfect for work or social outings.

• Eau de Parfum (EDP) Concentration: 15-20% perfume oils Longevity: Lasts 6-8 hours Characteristics: Richer and more enduring than EDT, EDP is perfect for both day and night. It strikes a balance between being noticeable and not overpowering, making it ideal for special occasions or a sophisticated daily scent.

• Parfum (Extrait de Parfum) Concentration: 20-30% perfume oils Longevity: Lasts 7-10 hours or more Characteristics: The most concentrated and longest-lasting form of perfume. Parfum offers a deep, complex scent that evolves beautifully over time. Just a small amount is needed for an all-day impact, making it perfect for evenings, formal events, or any time you want to make a statement.

How to Apply for Best Results

1. Choose the Right Spots

Apply your fragrance to pulse points where your body emits heat, helping to diffuse and amplify the scent. The most effective pulse points include:

• Wrists: A classic choice for fragrance application. Dab, don’t rub, as rubbing can break down the fragrance molecules.

• Neck: Apply behind your ears and on the sides of your neck for an alluring scent that lasts.

• Elbows: The inner elbows are often overlooked but can hold fragrance well.

• Behind Knees: Especially useful for warm weather or when wearing skirts and dresses.

2. Apply to Moisturized Skin

Fragrance lasts longer on hydrated skin. Apply an unscented lotion or a matching body cream from our Solstice Perfumes range before spritzing your Eau de Parfum or dabbing on your Parfum. The moisture will help lock in the scent, extending its longevity.

3. Spray from a Distance

When using Eau de Parfum, spray from a distance of about 6-8 inches away from your skin. This ensures a light, even application.

4. Layer Your Fragrance

Enhance the depth and longevity of your scent by layering. Start with a scented body wash and follow with a matching lotion or cream. Finish with your Eau de Parfum or Parfum. Layering helps build a more robust scent profile that lasts all day.

5. Avoid Overapplying

Both Eau de Parfum and Parfum are potent, so less is more. Start with a small amount and allow it to develop on your skin. You can always add more if needed, but it's harder to tone down an overpowering fragrance.

6. Store Properly

To maintain the integrity of your fragrance, store your bottles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations. This preserves the scent and extends the shelf life of your perfume.

Using Solstice Perfumes' Eau de Parfum and Parfum correctly can significantly enhance your fragrance experience.
