What Makes an Extrait De Parfum Truly Luxurious? The Truth Behind High-Concentration Perfumes

What Makes an Extrait De Parfum Truly Luxurious?

Perfume has many strengths — EDT, EDP, and the most revered of all: Extrait De Parfum.

But what makes extrait so special?
And why does it feel richer, deeper, and more expensive?


1. Higher Concentration = Higher Luxury

Extraits contain 25–40% fragrance oil, while most EDPs sit around 15–20%.

More oil means:

  • longer wear

  • richer complexity

  • deeper projection

  • smoother evolution on skin

This is why True Born extrait creations — The Statesman, The Enchantress, The Empress, The Savile Row, The Conqueror — feel profoundly luxurious.


2. Better Ingredients

Extrait houses invest in:

  • aged woods

  • premium ouds

  • rose centifolia

  • natural resins

  • handcrafted attars

Cheap dupes simply cannot replicate this — they rely on shortcuts and synthetics.


3. A Gentle, Skin-First Experience

Extraits use less alcohol and more natural oils, creating:

  • softer diffusion

  • no harsh sting

  • less irritation

Especially important for people sensitive to denatured alcohol.


4. Deeply Personal, Never Loud

Extrait perfumes are not “shouty.”
They don’t blast into a room like cheap high-alcohol scents.

Instead, they radiate quiet mastery — the luxury of depth, not noise.


5. True Born Philosophy: Clean, Concentrated, Untamed

True Born extrait perfumes are crafted without:

  • phthalates

  • parabens

  • carcinogenic stabilisers

  • toxic fixatives

Luxury should never come at the cost of your health.
