See them all here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eParfum as a concentration, not only a word\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn French, parfum is simply the word for perfume. On a box, though, it also names a concentration: the richest level a house makes, with the most perfume oil. Together with extrait de parfum it marks the top of the usual scale, above eau de parfum, and houses choose one name or the other for the same kind of richness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is why the label needs a careful reading. The word gives no percentage, and the term is a trade convention, not a legal definition. Orto Parisi, for example, releases its whole line as parfum, while Fragrance Du Bois, Roja Parfums and Xerjoff use the name next to other concentrations. What you can rely on is the general pattern: a denser perfume that wears closer to the skin and shows its base notes more fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to choose and wear a parfum\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTreat it as a dense, concentrated perfume: one or two sprays are usually enough, and a small amount on the chest or wrists lets the base unfold. Parfums can be bright as well as dark, so look at the notes. A citrus parfum behaves differently from an oud or a gourmand, even at the same strength. If you are comparing it with an extrait de parfum, the difference lies mostly in the house's own recipe, and our article on \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/journal\/perfume-concentrations-explained\"\u003eperfume concentrations\u003c\/a\u003e explains why the names overlap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrom the collection\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfumes named Parfum, from \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/brands\"\u003ethe houses on our brands page\u003c\/a\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/fragrance-du-bois-minuit-et-demi-parfum-100ml\"\u003eFragrance Du Bois Minuit et Demi\u003c\/a\u003e is a gourmand woody: cardamom, pimento and bergamot, then caramel and coffee, then vetiver, cedarwood, Cashmeran, vanilla and musk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/jo-milano-paris-game-of-spades-emerald-parfum-100ml\"\u003eJo Milano Paris Game of Spades Emerald\u003c\/a\u003e is a fresh spicy citrus: bergamot, ginger and grapefruit on top, orange blossom, neroli and ginger essence in the heart, and musk and ambrette below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/roja-parfums-isola-blu-parfum-50ml\"\u003eRoja Parfums Isola Blu\u003c\/a\u003e is a citrus parfum with lemon, bergamot, lime, lavender and thyme at the top, apple, blackcurrant, coconut and orange blossom in the heart, and a long base that includes cut grass, amber, leather and ambergris.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/xerjoff-la-capitale-parfum-50ml\"\u003eXerjoff La Capitale\u003c\/a\u003e starts with caramel, labdanum, peach and strawberry, goes on to ginger, Iranian saffron, leather, amber and rose and ends on benzoin, oud and Bourbon vanilla.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/orto-parisi-cuoium-parfum-50ml\"\u003eOrto Parisi Cuoium\u003c\/a\u003e comes from a house that publishes no notes; it describes the perfume as love and respect for natural materials and the legacy of leather.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"jo-milano-paris-game-of-spades-full-house-parfum-100ml","title":"Jo Milano Paris Game of Spades Full-House Parfum (100ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFull-House is a parfum from the Game of Spades line by Jo Milano Paris, which the brand describes as confident and polished.
