eau de parfum

Strong perfume type

Eau de parfum is a concentration of fragrance, typically containing 15–20% aromatic compounds in an alcohol base.

It sits between the lighter eau de toilette and the more intense pure parfum, offering a balance of longevity and subtlety: She dabbed eau de parfum on her wrists.

The French phrase literally means "perfume water."
