Perfume kharidte waqt sabse common sawaal yahi hota hai: “Ye kitni der tak rahega?” Iska pehla jawab bottle ke label pe hi likha hota hai. EDT, EDP, Extrait jaise chhote words batate hain ki bottle mein perfume oil kitna hai, aur hamare stock ke lagbhag 76% full-size perfumes Eau de Parfum (EDP) hain. Is guide mein label ka har “code” simple Hinglish mein samjhaya gaya hai, saath mein woh myths bhi jinke chakkar mein log galat bottle utha lete hain.
Key takeaways
- Label pe likha concentration (EDC, EDT, EDP, Extrait) longevity ka pehla clue hai. Jitna zyada perfume oil, utna aam taur pe zyada der tak.
- Base notes zaroor padhein. Oud, amber, musk, vanilla aur woods wale perfumes aksar citrus wale perfumes se zyada tikte hain.
- ml sirf bottle ka size batata hai, strength nahi. Do bottles compare karni hon toh price per ml nikaalein.
- Skin, mausam aur sprays ki ginti bhi utna hi farak daalte hain. Ek hi perfume Delhi ki May aur Shimla ki December mein alag behave karega.
- Bottle ke neeche ka code ya batch number na longevity batata hai, na originality ka test hai.
Bottle ke label pe likhe words ka matlab
Perfume ki strength ko uska concentration kehte hain, yaani alcohol (ya oil ya paani) mein kitna perfume oil mila hai. Iska koi legal standard nahi hai. Har brand apna formula khud tay karta hai, isliye neeche diye percentages sirf woh range hain jo industry mein aam taur pe batayi jaati hai.
| Label pe kya likha hai | Matlab | Perfume oil (lagbhag) | Kya expect karein |
|---|---|---|---|
| Eau de Cologne (EDC) | Sabse halka, fresh splash | 2–5% | Jaldi udta hai; garmi mein refresh ke liye |
| Eau de Toilette (EDT) | Halka aur fresh | 5–15% | Din aur office ke liye; garmi mein top-up lagta hai |
| Eau de Parfum (EDP) | Bhara hua, rich | 15–20% | Aam taur pe EDT se zyada der tak |
| Extrait de Parfum / Parfum | Sabse concentrated | 20% ya zyada | 1–2 sprays kaafi; skin ke kareeb rehta hai |
| Aqua Parfum | Paani-based; alcohol-free bataya jaata hai | Brands aam taur pe nahi batate | Aksar softer aur skin ke kareeb |
| Attar / Concentrated Perfume Oil (CPO) | Oil mein perfume, alcohol nahi | Oil base | Dab karke lagate hain; door tak nahi failta |
| Body Mist / Body Spray / Deo | Bahut halka fragrance | Mist mein aksar 3% ya kam | Thodi der ka refresh |
Real prices ke saath poori comparison ke liye padhein: EDP vs EDT vs Extrait vs Parfum vs Attar. Deo, body spray aur body mist ka farak yahan hai: deo vs body spray vs perfume vs body mist.
“Intense”, “Elixir”, “Noir”: ye concentration nahi, naam hain
Kai bottles pe Intense, Elixir, Extreme ya Noir likha hota hai. Ye aksar kisi popular perfume ke naye version ka naam hota hai. Kabhi woh version sach mein zyada concentrated hota hai, kabhi sirf khushboo badli hoti hai. Isliye label pe EDT, EDP ya Extrait wali line alag se dhoondhein. Detail mein samajhne ke liye: Elixir, Intense, Parfum: flanker names explained.
Notes se longevity ka andaza kaise lagayein
Product page pe notes teen hisson mein diye hote hain. Top notes (citrus, halke fruits) pehle 15–30 minute ki khushboo hain. Heart notes agle kuch ghante perfume ka character banate hain. Base notes (woods, amber, musk, vanilla, oud, resins) sabse der tak skin pe rehte hain.
Simple rule: agar label pe EDP ya Extrait hai aur base mein heavy notes hain, toh perfume ke der tak tikne ke chances zyada hain. Agar perfume mostly citrus aur fresh notes ka hai, toh EDP hone ke bawajood garmi mein jaldi halka ho sakta hai. Ye andaza hai, pakki baat nahi. Asli test aapki skin pe hi hoga.

Label padhne ki practice: 3 real examples
Teeno ke notes humne brand ki listing aur Fragrantica se check kiye hain.
French Avenue Liquid Brun EDP 100ml – ₹3,500
Label: Eau de Parfum, 100ml. Notes: cinnamon, bergamot, cardamom and orange blossom · Bourbon vanilla and elemi · praline, ambroxan, musk and guaiac wood.
Label kya batata hai: EDP concentration, aur base mein praline, musk aur guaiac wood (beech mein bourbon vanilla). Dono baatein der tak tikne ki taraf ishara karti hain. Cinnamon aur cardamom wali masaledaar opening sabse pehle udegi; vanilla aur woods ki garmahat peeche rahegi. Brand ise men’s perfume ke roop mein bechta hai. Ye hamare 20 best-selling perfumes mein se ek hai. Hamare store pe 6 customers ne ise 5/5 rating di hai.
Afnan Supremacy Not Only Intense Extrait de Parfum 150ml – ₹4,500
Label: Extrait de Parfum, 150ml. Notes: bergamot, apple and blackcurrant · lavender, patchouli and oakmoss · saffron, musk and ambergris.
Label kya batata hai: Sabse concentrated category, aur base mein saffron, musk aur ambergris. Extrait ke saath 1–2 sprays se shuru karein. 150ml ki badi bottle hai, isliye ye ₹30 per ml padta hai, hamare typical 100ml EDP (₹27 per ml) se thoda zyada. Brand ise men’s perfume ke roop mein bechta hai. Ye hamare 20 best-selling perfumes mein se ek hai. Hamare store pe 5 customers ne ise 4.4/5 rating di hai.
Naseem Asmira Aqua Parfum 100ml – ₹2,350
Label: Aqua Parfum, 100ml. Notes: cherry, bergamot and saffron · tuberose, white flowers and amber · musk, cashmere, milk and vanilla.
Label kya batata hai: Base mein musk aur vanilla jaise tikne wale notes hain, lekin format paani-based hai. Aqua perfumes aksar softer hote hain aur skin ke kareeb rehte hain, isliye ye unke liye achha option hai jo alcohol wale sprays se bachna chahte hain. Naseem ise feminine scent batata hai.
Skin, mausam aur sprays ka role
- Skin: dry skin pe perfume jaldi udta hai. Nahane ke baad halka unscented moisturiser lagakar spray karein.
- Mausam: garmi mein alcohol aur top notes jaldi udte hain, humidity mein heavy perfumes aur bhaari lagte hain, aur sardi mein rich perfumes ka asli maza aata hai. Har mausam ke liye guide: Indian weather ke hisaab se perfume.
- Sprays: EDP ke 2–4 sprays aur Extrait ke 1–2 sprays aam taur pe kaafi hain. Zyada sprays se perfume tez lagta hai, par office ya metro mein dusron ko bhaari pad sakta hai.
- Apni naak: thodi der baad naak perfume ki aadi ho jaati hai. Aapko lagta hai perfume chala gaya, jabki dusron ko abhi bhi khushboo aa rahi hoti hai. Iske baare mein: apna perfume khud ko smell kyun nahi hota.
Aur tips ke liye: Indian garmi mein perfume ko zyada der tak kaise tikayein.
Myths jinpe bharosa na karein
- “Jitna mehenga, utna long lasting.” Zaroori nahi. Hamare store pe typical EDT ₹4,849 ka hai aur typical EDP ₹2,899 ka, kyunki zyadatar EDTs European designer brands ke hain aur zyadatar EDPs Arabian houses ke. Price mein brand, packaging aur import ka bhi hissa hota hai, sirf strength ka nahi.
- “Bottle ke code se pata chalta hai perfume kitna tikega.” Bottle ya box pe chhapa batch code factory ka production record hota hai. Usse longevity ka koi andaza nahi milta, aur sirf code dekhkar originality ka faisla bhi nahi kiya ja sakta.
- “Gehra rang matlab strong perfume.” Perfume ka rang uske ingredients se ya mile hue colour se aata hai. Ye strength ka pakka sign nahi hai.
- “Bottle pe ‘long lasting’ likha hai, toh din bhar chalega.” “Long lasting” ek marketing phrase hai, iska koi tay standard nahi. Concentration aur base notes zyada bharose ke clue hain.
- “Pehla spray hi sab bata deta hai.” Pehle minute mein sirf top notes milte hain. Perfume ko skin pe aadhe ghante se kuch ghante tak parkhiye, tab faisla kariye.
Kharidne se pehle 5-point checklist
- Concentration word dhoondhein: EDP ya Extrait zyada der tak tikne ki ummeed deta hai, EDT halka hota hai.
- Base notes padhein: woods, amber, musk, vanilla ya oud hain toh achha sign hai.
- Size aur price per ml compare karein. Jaise, 100ml ka Asmira ₹24 per ml padta hai aur 100ml ka Liquid Brun ₹35 per ml.
- Mausam aur occasion sochiye: din ke office ke liye halka, shaadi ya sardi ki shaam ke liye rich.
- Pehli baar le rahe hain? Pehle chhota size try karein: miniatures aur trial packs dekhein, ya padhein perfume samples aur trial packs.
