Eau de parfum, eau de toilette, cologne… What is the real difference?

The term “FRAGRANCE” comes from the word “FRAGRANT” that stands for “a pleasant, sweet scent”.

A fragrance is associated to a perfume, an eau de parfum, an eau de cologne…

So, what’s the real difference between these terms that justifies the price difference between one another, beyond the brand or the design of the bottle?


In the words of experts, there are no absolutes distinguishing an expensive perfume from a cheap one because so much of what we find appealing about a fragrance is usually linked to memories that we associate with it.


Another popular misconception is who wears what? 

One of the effects of modern marketing is the label “for men” and “for women”. In the fragrance market, associating that perfumes are for women and colognes for men.

Let's see the main differences between five types of fragrances, because finding the right concentration is just as important as choosing the perfect scent:

PERFUME CONCENTRATION

Image from: Quora

PERFUME

(contains between 20-30% of oil concentration that makes it last up to 8 hours)


Perfumes have the highest fragrance concentration (more than 20% oil concentration), this means that it is likely to be noticeable and last all day. As a consequence, perfume will also demand the highest price. Moreover, people with sensitive skin may do better with perfumes as they have far less alcohol and therefore are not as likely to dry out the skin.

EAU DE PARFUM

 (contains between 15-20% of oil concentration)


This is the next highest fragrance concentration. On average, you can get a solid four to five hours of your fragrance working and still containing a very low amount of alcohol to guarantee skin tolerance. Eau de parfums are made to last on the skin without giving people next to you a headache, or transferring onto someone else’s neck after a hug. These are the most common fragrance category. The scent will be prominent from morning to evening, and should still be detectable when you undress at night. In CARNER BARCELONA, we work with the best professionals worldwide to create the most exquisite collection of eau de parfums. With each bottle our aim is to deliver an emotion, a story that evokes the essence of our city, Barcelona.


EAU DE COLOGNE

(contains between 2-4% of oil concentration)


With a much lower fragrance concentration (about 2% to 4%) and a high alcohol content, the eau the cologne is considerably cheaper than those above. It generally lasts for up to two hours. These type of fragrance is referred to a traditional recipe that used herb and citrus notes with little anchoring with base notes. Eau de cologne usually comes in bigger bottles as more of this fragrance needs to be worn along the day.

EAU DE FRAICHE

(contains between 1-3% of oil concentration)


This last fragrance is quite similar to the previous one, in that the scent will last for up to two hours. However, it has an even lower fragrance concentration of only 1% to 3%. The main difference is that eau fraiche does not contain a high amount of alcohol. Eau fraiche is mostly water so this is also good for those with sensitive skin.

EAU DE TOILETTE

(contains between 5-15% of oil concentration)


This is one of the most popular type of fragrances, with a concentration of between 5% to 15%, it is cheaper than the eau de parfum. It will normally last two to three hours. Did you know that the term eau de toilette came from the French term “faire sa toilette” which means getting ready?

On a final note, along with fragrance types it is important to know that there are also fragrance notes which determine the final scent.

  • After being in relationship with markiss for seven years,he broke up with me, I did everything possible to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so much because of the love I have for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to someone online and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back but I am the type that never believed in spell, I had no choice than to try it, I mailed the spell caster, and he told me there was no problem that everything will be okay before three days, that my ex will return to me before three days, he cast the spell and surprisingly in the second day, it was around 4pm. My ex called me, I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that happened, that he wanted me to return to him, that he loves me so much. I was so happy and went to him, that was how we started living together happily again. Since then, I have made promise that anybody I know that have a relationship problem, I would be of help to such person by referring him or her to the only real and powerful spell caster who helped me with my own problem and who is different from all the fake ones out there. Anybody could need the help of the spell caster, his email: drosemudiamenspell.wordpress.com you can email him if you need his assistance in your relationship or anything.

  • Lord Bubuza is the greatest spell caster I have seen, He is like a God on Earth, sent to save us. His spell is so active and the lottery winning numbers he reveals after casting his lottery spell are super accurate. I have been playing the lottery for years without winning and this made me contacted spell casters for years for help and none of them could help me, But when I contacted lord Bubuza via WhatsApp: +1 365 808 5313 and told him I needed help to win the lottery, he responded and I provided the requirements to cast the lottery spell. After casting the spell, lord Bubuza gave me a Six digit number and those numbers won 378,000,000 million dollars for me in the MEGA MILLION LOTTERY. I couldn’t believe it until I was paid and taxes were subtracted. I can’t thank lord Bubuza enough, with a worm heart please join me and thank him and Contact him for help too via email: Lordbubuzamiraclework@hotmail.com or WhatsApp: +1 (365) 808 5313
