Fragrances are available in different concentrations, each are determined by the amount of actual fragrance oil, to alcohol in the finished solution. The final concentration varies with each individual fragrance; some are more diffusive at a lower concentration than at a higher one. An Extrait de Parfum typically contains 20% to 40% of fragrance oil and the rest of the solution is alcohol.
