While Eau de Toilette contains 5-9% of perfume oil, Eau de Parfum usually contains 8-14%. Eau de Parfums therefore last longer and smell more intense. The term "absolut" comes from the Latin word "absolutus, " which means "complete" or absolute. In perfumery, it's used to describe a type of perfume extract that is highly concentrated and contains a high percentage of fragrant compounds. Absoluts are typically made using a solvent extraction process that involves soaking the plant material in a solvent, such as hexane or ethanol, to extract the fragrant compounds.

This process is different from steam distillation, which is another common method used to extract fragrant compounds from plants. Steam distillation involves passing steam through the plant material, which causes the fragrant compounds to evaporate and then condense into a liquid form. While steam distillation is often used to create essential oils, it doesn't produce the same level of concentration as solvent extraction, which is why absoluts are so highly valued in perfumery. Absoluts are prized for their rich and complex fragrances, which are often more true to the scent of the original plant material than other types of perfume extracts.

Because they are so concentrated, they are often used in small amounts in perfumes and other fragrances, but they can have a powerful impact on the overall scent.
