What Strength Are These Men’s Dupes?
All Bottl’d fragrances are formulated at 25% fragrance oil, placing them in the Eau de Parfum (EDP) category.
This means:
- Stronger concentration than Eau de Toilette
- Designed to last 6–10+ hours
- Noticeable projection
- Better overall performance
For men wanting fragrance that lasts throughout the day (or night), concentration matters — and 25% is considered high strength.
How to Choose the Right Men’s Fragrance
If you’re unsure, ask yourself:
✔ Do I want fresh or sweet?
✔ Daytime or night-out scent?
✔ Subtle or bold projection?
✔ All-season or winter-focused?
If you want something safe and versatile, start with:
Bottl’d #201 (Fresh & masculine)
If you want bold and attention-grabbing:
Bottl’d #215 or #213
If you prefer darker and more premium:
Bottl’d #208 or #204
