Understanding Perfume Types – A Complete Guide by KUN PERFUMES
Perfume is more than just a fragrance — it represents personality, style, and confidence. Many people buy perfumes without understanding the difference between perfume types, concentration levels, and lasting power. At KUN PERFUMES, we believe that choosing the right fragrance becomes easier when you understand how perfumes are categorized.
1. Perfume (Parfum)
Perfume, also known as Parfum, contains the highest fragrance oil concentration, usually between 20–30%. Because of its rich concentration, it lasts the longest and gives a deep, luxurious scent experience.
Features:
- Strong and premium fragrance
- Long-lasting performance
- Ideal for special occasions
- Lasts around 6–8+ hours
This type is perfect for people who want a bold and elegant fragrance throughout the day.
