Understanding Oil Concentrations. Extrait de Parfum Explained

When it comes to fragrance, concentration matters more than most people realize. The percentage of aromatic oils in a formula directly affects longevity, projection, and how a scent behaves on the skin over time.

Among the standard categories — Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum, and Extrait de Parfum — Vach Cittoni has made a deliberate choice to focus exclusively on Extrait de Parfum.

That decision isn’t about excess. It’s about control.

The Spectrum of Fragrance Concentrations

Most modern fragrances fall into one of the following categories:

• Eau de Cologne (2–5%) — Light and fleeting. Designed for refreshment rather than longevity.
• Eau de Toilette (5–15%) — Fresh and accessible, commonly worn for short daily use.
• Eau de Parfum (15–20%) — Richer and longer lasting, often chosen for evening wear.
• Extrait de Parfum (20–40%) — The highest concentration, offering depth, longevity, and a more controlled presence.

Each serves a purpose. Vach Cittoni chooses the last.

Why Extrait de Parfum Is Different

Extrait de Parfum allows a fragrance to unfold slowly and deliberately. With a higher oil concentration, the composition evolves over time rather than peaking quickly and disappearing.

At approximately 30% concentration, Vach Cittoni fragrances are designed to last throughout the day while remaining composed — never sharp, never overwhelming.

Longevity Without Excess

Higher concentration does not mean louder projection. In fact, Extrait de Parfum often behaves in the opposite way.

Rather than filling a room, it creates a controlled aura — close, confident, and persistent. The fragrance stays present on the skin without demanding attention, making it suitable for professional environments as well as personal moments.

Quality Over Filler

Higher oil concentrations leave less room for dilution. That means fewer fillers and more emphasis on raw materials and structure.

This approach aligns with Vach Cittoni’s philosophy: fewer releases, higher standards, and compositions built to endure rather than impress quickly.

A Deliberate Choice

Vach Cittoni’s decision to work exclusively with Extrait de Parfum reflects a broader mindset. These fragrances are not designed to chase trends or mass appeal.

They are designed for men who value longevity, restraint, and intention — and who understand that presence is often strongest when it is controlled.

Final Perspective

Understanding oil concentration changes how fragrance is experienced. It shifts the focus from immediate impact to lasting character.

In a market filled with fleeting scents, Extrait de Parfum offers something different: depth, consistency, and quiet authority — the foundation of every Vach Cittoni fragrance.
