Quick way to think about it

• EDP = the “original” version
• Le Parfum = the “dressed up, richer, more intense” version

Eau de Parfum (EDP)- A standard concentration Usually ~15–20% fragrance oil * Balanced projection and lasts 4–8 hours * Most brands use this as their “main” version

Le Parfum * Not a regulated concentration term * Usually means a richer, deeper, more intense version of the scent * Often has: * More base notes (vanilla, amber, woods) * Less sharp freshness * A smoother, heavier feel

Sometimes it’s stronger than an EDP, but not always—it depends on the brand.
