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'.

Great moisturizer, has a strong scent tho
It has niacinamide in the composition and even tho it's in a very low concentration, it started to irritate my skin after a while. But apart from that I think it's a lovely moisturizer. Very hydrating, very lightweight and gets absorbed quickly. The skin looks glowy and smooth. But it has a strong scent!
