Eau de parfum is your signature, bottled. 

At WHO IS ELIJAH, a leading fragrance perfume shop in Australia, each scent is a character waiting to be lived in. Minimalist yet multifaceted. Versatile, bold, and unapologetically you. With every layer, you step into a delightful new moment.

With its richer concentration of oils, eau de parfum is designed to stay with you. But to truly take advantage of its staying power, it’s all about how you wear it. Here’s how to apply perfume correctly so it lasts:

Tip #1: Apply eau de parfum on pulse points.

Pulse points are your fragrance’s secret allies.

These warm zones – your wrists, neck, behind the ears, inner elbows, and even the waist – invite your fragrance to come alive, evolving with your body’s natural rhythm.

Why pulse points? They radiate heat, helping the perfume diffuse, unfolding gracefully across the day. 

Every spritz on these spots activates your scent, allowing it to bloom, soften, and deepen. Let our Australian perfume whisper at your collarbone and linger at your wrists, invigorating the senses with fleeting notes that echo after you’ve walked away.

Tip #2: Time your application for maximum impact.

The right perfume for men or women, worn at the right moment, is everything.

For schedules packed with daytime events, reach for something bright and uplifting. Think citrus or oceanic vibes – or maybe even a floral perfume. Scents like CHERRY FIESTA and OCEAN EYES are crafted for these hours, making things vibrant, refreshing, and alive with possibility. 

As the sun dips, your fragrance can deepen. Evenings call for earthy fragrances – sensual, smoky, bold. Enter MORNING AFTER and NIGHTCAP. These woody fragrance options are your after-dark signatures, offering something rich, magnetic, and unforgettable. 

But here’s the truth: there are no rules. The only rhythm that matters is your own. A formal lunch might ask for depth; a casual, late-night walk might be an exquisite opportunity for something light. Trust your instinct. It knows the mood better than any manual.

At WHO IS ELIJAH, we create scents to match your shifts. To celebrate your contradictions. To let you choose who you want to be, morning, noon, or midnight.

Tip #3: Choose scents that reflect your energy.

When you’re online perfume shopping, choose a scent that mirrors your energy. 

Here’s the secret when it comes to how to choose a perfume: Tap into what moves you. The songs that stir something inside. The colours you’re drawn to. The moments that make you feel most alive. Let those cues guide you to scents that are reminiscent of the emotions and sensations these are tied to.

Fragrance is fluid, and it can shift with your energy, your outfit, or your intention. Think of scent as your silent signature – an invisible accessory that amplifies how you show up in the world. Effortless, but never unnoticed.

The beauty of WHO IS ELIJA’s eau de parfum fragrances is how they evolve – softly, boldly, and differently on everyone. Whether you lean towards something ethereal or crave depth and heat, the discovery is part of the thrill.

Clothes on or off? Keep this in mind when spraying on your outfit.

Wearing the best perfume Australia offers on fabric can leave a dreamy, lingering trail, but there’s a bit of art to getting it right. 

Clothing can hold onto scent longer than skin. So, spritz with intention, and your fragrance can become part of your aura, moving with you and lasting long after the moment’s passed.

But not all fabrics play nice with perfume.

Delicate materials – like silk, chiffon, or linen – are especially prone to staining when they meet rich parfum oils. So, a bold spray on your favourite blouse might leave behind more than just scent. Heavier, more textured fabrics like wool, cotton, or denim tend to hold up better. 

When in doubt, stick to spraying eau de parfum on your skin. Spritzing on pulse points will keep your fragrance lasting long enough for most occasions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What are the main differences between eau de parfum and eau de toilette?

Here’s the difference between eau de parfum and eau de toilette:

• Eau de parfum is the bold one – richer, deeper, designed to linger. With 15% to 20% fragrance concentration, it clings to the skin for six to eight hours, leaving a lasting impression. 
• Eau de toilette, on the other hand, is lighter. With 5% to 15% concentration, it typically lasts for three to five hours before slipping away.

How long does eau de parfum typically last on the skin?

Everyone’s skin and routine are different, so it can vary. However, eau de parfum is crafted to be long-lasting and can linger for six to eight hours, thanks to its 15% to 20% fragrance oil concentration. 

Our eau de parfum options at WHO IS ELIJAH, from our earthy fragrances to our sweeter options, are designed to evolve with you, shifting subtly throughout the day and leaving behind a trail that feels intimate and unforgettable.

Is eau de parfum suitable for both men and women?

Eau de parfum doesn’t need to follow traditional gender rules. 

At WHO IS ELIJAH, each unisex perfume is crafted with intention, balancing top, heart, and base notes that speak to the soul, not stereotypes. Our genderless fragrances are designed to resonate universally, inviting you to choose what feels right, not what’s prescribed. 

Picking between a men’s fragrance or a perfume for women? It doesn’t matter. Scent is personal, and it should always be yours to define.
