Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Diisostearyl Malate is an emollient and most often used in lip products. It comes from isostearyl alcohol, a fatty acid, and malic acid, an AHA.

Parfum is a catch-all term for an ingredient or more that is used to give a scent to products.
Also called "fragrance", this ingredient can be a blend of hundreds of chemicals or plant oils. This means every product with "fragrance" or "parfum" in the ingredients list is a different mixture.
In the US, the alternative name for parfum is 'fragrance'.
The term 'fragrance' is not regulated in many countries. In many cases, it is up to the brand to define this term.
For instance, many brands choose to label themselves as "fragrance-free" because they are not using synthetic fragrances. However, their products may still contain ingredients such as essential oils that are considered a fragrance by INCI standards.
One example is Calendula flower extract. Calendula is an essential oil that still imparts a scent or 'fragrance'.
Depending on the blend, the ingredients in the mixture can cause allergies and sensitivities on the skin. Some ingredients that are known EU allergens include linalool and citronellol.
Parfum can also be used to mask or cover an unpleasant scent.
The bottom line is: not all fragrances/parfum/ingredients are created equally. If you are worried about fragrances, we recommend taking a closer look at an ingredient. And of course, we always recommend speaking with a professional.

Obssessed!!!
I used to smoke, like a lot, that it darkened my lip color. It has been 10 years since I quit smoking, and I was about to go for lip blush when I saw this.
After the second use of this as a night lip mask, I woke up to my lips looking hydrated, plump, and red! Like good red. Like I slept with a lip tint on, and it has melted into my lips. Not like lipstick red, but like I bit my lips for quite a while.
And the thing is, this is not that pigmented.
To say that I was in awe is an understatement. Went near a window for different lighting, and I just fell in love with my "new" soft lips. I tried wiping the color off, and no color came off.
To kind of test it out, I purposely did not use any lip product for the whole day. Next morning, my lips still looked great. The color has faded, but my lips were still not dry, and lip color has definitely improved with reddish hue.
I use this before I go to bed. Sometimes after a lip scrub. I also sometimes use this when working.
