The best perfume is like a killer outfit: it makes you feel confident. But finding the right scent can be tricky.
Perfume usually comes in three types: eau de toilette, eau de parfum and extrait de parfum. Eau de toilette has a lower fragrance oil concentration in water, usually around five to ten per cent, making for a lighter scent. Eau de parfum has a higher concentration, usually more than 20 per cent. However, you may not have heard of an extrait. More common among luxury brands like Chanel and Kilian, an extrait de parfum can reach concentrations up to 40 per cent, and cost more than £200.
