Extrait vs eau de parfum vs eau de toilette vs attar
The main difference between these is how much fragrance oil is in the bottle. More oil usually means the scent lasts longer on skin and costs more to make.
| Type | Fragrance oil | Base | Khuloud product |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eau de cologne | 2–3% | Alcohol | None |
| Eau de toilette (EDT) | 5–15% | Alcohol | None |
| Eau de parfum (EDP) | 15–20% | Alcohol | None |
| Parfum / extrait | 15–30% | Alcohol | None |
| Khuloud perfume spray | 40% | Alcohol | All 100/30/10 mL sprays, e.g. Citrus Reverence |
| Attar (ittar) | Pure oil | Oil, no alcohol | Khuloud attars, e.g. Crimson Veil Attar |
Key facts
- Khuloud sprays are 40% perfume oil, above the 15–30% range Wikipedia lists for parfum/extrait.
- Attar is a fragrance that uses oil as its base instead of alcohol. Traditional attars are hydro- or steam-distilled, often into a sandalwood base, and Kannauj in Uttar Pradesh still uses the deg-bhapka method.
- Sprays project further and are easier to apply. Attars sit closer to the skin and are dabbed on.
- Khuloud attars cost ₹549 (6 mL) or ₹999 (12 mL). Sprays cost ₹499 (10 mL) to ₹2,999 (100 mL).
Which should you choose?
- Want a scent other people notice: a perfume spray.
- Prefer no alcohol, or want something personal and close to the skin: an attar.
- Not sure: the Discovery Pack (6 × 5 mL, ₹999).
