LONGEVITY LAB TEST

Longevity Lab Test

EXTRAIT PERFUME OIL 99.9% vs EXTRAIT DE PARFUM — Lab Longevity Test

We ran a controlled, in-house comparison of Extrait Perfume Oil (99.9% alcohol-free) vs Extrait de Parfum (alcohol-based) to measure longevity, projection, and dry-down on real skin and fabric—so you can choose with confidence.

TL;DR (Key Findings)

  • Longevity winner: Extrait Perfume Oil (99.9%)
  • Opening impact winner: Extrait de Parfum (bigger first-hour bloom)
  • Fabric: Both last longer on fabric, but oil kept a truer character at 24h

Test Design

  • Panel: 12 evaluators (dry/normal/oily skin)
  • Environment: 21–22 °C, 45–50% RH (climate-controlled)
  • Application: Oil = 1 swipe (~0.03 mL) to wrists (no rubbing); Extrait = 1 spray (~0.10 mL) to forearms; 10-min set time
  • Checkpoints: 0h, 1h, 3h, 6h, 9h, 12h, 24h
  • Measures: Perceived intensity (0–10), residual presence, character fidelity
  • Families tested: fresh citrus, floral amber, oud/woody

Results — Longevity on Skin

Checkpoint Extrait Perfume Oil (99.9%) Extrait de Parfum
1 hour 100% detectable 100% detectable
6 hours 100% detectable 75% detectable
12 hours 92% detectable 33% detectable
24 hours 50% (close to skin) 8% (faint/patchy)

Results — Projection / Intensity (0–10)

Phase Extrait Perfume Oil Extrait de Parfum
Opening (0–1h) 6.8 (smooth lift) 8.3 (strong bloom)
Heart (3–6h) 6.2 (steady) 5.4 (moderate fade)
Dry-down (9–12h) 5.3 (close, present) 3.1 (light/faint)

Fabric Retention (24h)

• Oil: uniform, true-to-note  • Extrait: detectable but thinner; top notes mostly gone

How to Choose

  • Extrait Perfume Oil (99.9%): maximum longevity, intimate luxury dry-down, alcohol-free comfort—especially for oud, amber, gourmand.
  • Extrait de Parfum: big first-hour projection and airy lift—great for fresh/fruity/citrus.

Pro Tips for Longer Wear

  • Moisturize first; scent adheres better to hydrated skin.
  • Apply to pulse points; avoid rubbing; allow 5–10 minutes to set.
  • Layer: oil as base + a light spray topper for lift.
  • Touch fabric lightly (color-safe) for extra staying power.

Limitations

Applied performance test under controlled conditions; real-world heat, exertion, and airflow can shift results. Citrus/fresh profiles fade faster than resinous woods in any format.

FAQ

Which lasts longer—oil or extrait?
Oil, in our test, showed higher residual presence at 12–24h and a smoother close-to-skin trail.
Why does extrait feel “bigger” at first?
Alcohol evaporates quickly, creating an airy bloom and stronger opening projection.
Will layering help?
Yes—use oil as a base for longevity and add a light spray on top for lift.
Does skin type matter?
Yes. Oily/normal skin extends longevity for both; very dry skin shortens extrait more.
