Fragrance is a powerful form of self-expression. From subtle whispers to bold statements, the right scent can uplift your mood, define your presence, and leave a lasting impression. But when choosing a fragrance, many people find themselves torn between Eau de Parfum (EDP) and Attar. Understanding the difference between the two is essential for selecting what suits your style—and BinAwf offers a luxurious collection of both to guide your journey.
What is Eau de Parfum?
Eau de Parfum is a modern alcohol-based fragrance that contains a high concentration of aromatic oils, typically between 15-20%. This makes EDP long-lasting, intense, and perfect for those who prefer bold, noticeable scents that linger throughout the day.
BinAwf offers several beautifully curated Eau de Parfums such as:
These perfumes provide a luxurious blend of modern elegance and traditional depth. They are ideal for everyday wear, evening events, or making a strong first impression.
What is Attar?
Attar is a traditional oil-based perfume made through the steam distillation of natural ingredients like flowers, woods, and resins. It’s alcohol-free, making it perfect for those with sensitive skin or those who prefer natural alternatives. Attars are deeply rooted in Middle Eastern and South Asian traditions, offering a spiritual and sensual experience.
