What is a perfume extract? The art of concentration according to Minalys.

In the world of fine perfumery, it all starts with a question of concentration. This determines the power, longevity, and depth of a fragrance.

Cologne, light and lively, contains only about 5% fragrant essences. Then come eau de toilette (8%) and eau de parfum (12%), which are more present and enveloping. Perfume, on the other hand, generally reaches between 15 and 20% concentration, offering an already denser and more sensual experience.

But at the top of this hierarchy is perfume extract, the noblest and most intense form of olfactory creation. From 20%, and sometimes well beyond, it concentrates the most precious raw materials, while containing less alcohol. It diffuses closer to the skin, in a rare, almost confidential olfactory intimacy.
An extract is not generously sprayed: it is applied, like an invisible jewel, to pulse points, wrists, neck, décolletage.

At Minalys, we go even further.
Our perfume extracts to discover here are concentrated between 25 and 30%, to offer an exceptional olfactory signature, both deep, long-lasting, and true to the emotion of its creation.
Each fragrance thus becomes a true sensory work, crafted with demanding standards and poetry: a perfume that is not just worn, but lived.
