How long does extrait de parfum last?
Velario states 10+ hour wear for its 35% extrait fragrances, but this page does not present an independent wear test. Longevity means time to a defined detection endpoint. Imagine, Timber, and Nomade share a concentration specification while describing different compositions; a reliable comparison requires recorded application, conditions, and observations.
| Profile | Top | Heart | Base |
|---|---|---|---|
| Velario Imagine | Bergamot, Mandarin, Black Tea, Lemon | Saffron, Cardamom, Ginger | Ambroxan, Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Musk |
| Velario Timber | Cardamom, Violet, Iris, Carrot Seed | Papyrus, Leather, Ambroxan | Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Musk |
| Velario Nomade | Incense, Raspberry, Saffron | Turkish Rose, Oud Wood | Benzoin, Amber, Leather |
Which endpoint should a wear comparison use?
Time to a close skin scent is different from time to undetectable. A fragrance can lose wider projection while remaining detectable nearby. Record both endpoints rather than turning either one into a single headline number. The same detection rule must be used for every fragrance in a comparison.
What information belongs beside a result?
Record the exact product and batch, application time and amount, skin or fabric substrate, room conditions, observation intervals, and observer method. Keep fabric results separate from skin results. If the fragrance is still detectable when observation ends, report that the result exceeds the observation window instead of inventing an ending time.
Can a note pyramid predict hours?
No. The catalog table gives descriptive notes, not evaporation measurements. Nomade’s oud label and Timber’s sandalwood label do not establish a measured longevity advantage over Imagine. Any numerical ranking needs a consistent comparison study. Until that exists, distinguish Velario’s stated claim from an independently observed result.
What are the sources and limits?
