Introduction
In India’s diverse climate—from scorching summers to humid monsoons finding a perfume that lasts 24 hours is a challenge. At Burfi, we blend science and artistry to create extrait de parfum with 45% oil concentration, ensuring your fragrance survives even Mumbai’s monsoon or Delhi’s heatwaves. Discover our 11 luxury perfumes, 4 artisanal candles, and discovery sets designed for Indian weather, and learn expert tips to maximize longevity.

The Science Behind 24H Perfume Longevity
1.1 Why Oil Concentration (45% vs. 20%) is a Game-Changer Perfume longevity hinges on fragrance oil concentration. Most commercial perfumes use 15–20% oils, but our extrait de parfum contains 45% oil, derived from premium Italian and Swiss ingredients. Here’s why this matters:
| Factor | 45% Oil (Burfi) | 20% Oil (Standard Perfumes) |
|---|---|---|
| Longevity | 24H+ wear, even in humidity | Fades within 4–6 hours |
| Sillage | Rich, evolving scent trail, Projects 1.5 meters for 8H | Weak projection (<0.5 meters), dissipates quickly |
| Climate Adaptability | Resists sweat and humidity | Breaks down in heat and moisture |
| Evaporation Rate | Slows by 60% in humidity | Rapid evaporation within 4–6 hours |
| Skin Safety | Gentle on skin, pH-balanced | High alcohol content causes dryness |
Science Behind It: Higher oil concentration slows evaporation, allowing base notes like sandalwood and musk to cling to skin. This makes our perfumes ideal for India’s extreme weather.
1.2 Ingredient Sourcing & Sustainability Key Oils: Jasmine Sambac (Tamil Nadu), Sandalwood (Karnataka), Oud (Assam) – ethically sourced via Fair Trade partnerships.
Eco-Packaging: Recyclable glass bottles, soy-wax candles (carbon-neutral production).
Certifications: PETA-certified cruelty-free, ISO 16128 (natural origin standards).
