Extrait de Parfum - The Pinnacle of Perfumery | The Two Barbers

What is Extrait de Parfum and why is it premium?

Extrait de Parfum (or Pure Parfum) is the most concentrated fragrance form with 20-40% aromatic oils. It lasts 8-12+ hours with just 1-2 sprays. Houses like Nishane and Jeroboam Paris use rare natural ingredients like oud, amber, and exotic florals.

What's the difference between Extrait and Eau de Parfum?

EDP has 8-15% oils and lasts 5-8 hours, while Extrait has 20-40% with 8-12+ hours longevity. Extrait is richer, develops slowly on skin, and requires less product — ultimately more economical per application.

Which Extrait brands do you recommend?

Nishane (Turkey) offers best-sellers like Hacivat and Hundred Silent Ways. New Notes (Italy) features innovative compositions with natural ingredients. Jeroboam Paris creates ultra-concentrated Extrait with unique sillage that lasts all day.

How much Extrait should I apply?

Less is more! 1-2 sprays are enough for all day. Apply to pulse points (neck, wrists) without rubbing. Nishane and Jeroboam are so concentrated that more could be overwhelming for those around you.

What are the best-selling Extraits?

Top sellers include: Nishane Hacivat (fruity-woody), Nishane Hundred Silent Ways (oud-floral), Jeroboam Oriento (oriental-spicy), New Notes Caramelo (gourmand). Discovery Sets let you test multiple before choosing a full size.

Is investing in Extrait de Parfum worth it?

Absolutely. A 50ml bottle requiring only 1-2 sprays lasts 6-12 months of daily use. Nishane (from €150) and New Notes (from €125) offer exceptional value for the quality and longevity they provide.
