What Is Eau de Parfum? And Why It Lasts Longer Than You Think

When you’re investing in a scent, you want it to last—and smell expensive while doing it. That’s why we crafted Cal Francisco’s debut fragrance, Neoteric, as an Eau de Parfum (EDP), not an Eau de Toilette. But what does that actually mean?

Eau de Parfum contains between 15%–30% fragrance oil concentration—more than double most Eau de Toilettes. That higher ratio means a deeper, longer-lasting scent that evolves throughout the day.

In Neoteric, you’ll first get a sharp, addictive hit of Italian grapefruit and juniper. Hours later, the richness of violet, rosewood, and vetiver lingers like a signature. It doesn’t just fade—it transforms.

Choosing an EDP is about more than strength. It’s about presence. And when done right, a good EDP doesn’t shout—it whispers quality. That’s what Cal Francisco is about.
