parfum is the actual oil from the plant (usually flowers) and it quick strong....my doctor says never use it because of the risk of sensivitity and it will not wash off. eau de parfum is perfume oil diluted with alchohol and water.....still too strong
eau de cologne is water and perfume oil which will be the choice....eau of toilette is usually NOT perfume but chemicals that have a nice smell.

Eau de Cologne is the term used today to refer to a perfume solution with around a 3% compound in an oil and water base. It’s the lightest of perfumes and, therefore the least expensive.
Eau de Toilette is a perfume solution with a 3-8% compound in an oil and water base.
Eau de Parfum is a perfume solution with a 10-15% compound.

Alcohol content
Eau De Cologne (EDC):
Originally the name applied to light refreshing Citrus scented fragrance, also see Cologne. Now, more widely used to relate to a solution of about 3% Perfume compound in an alcohol/water base and is much lighter than a concentrated perfume.
Eau de Parfum (EDP):
An alcoholic perfume solution containing 10 to 15% perfume compound.
Eau de Toilette (EDT):
An alcohol/water based perfume solution containing 3 to 8 % perfume compound.
Perfume (Extract):
"per fumum" - comes from the Latin, meaning "through the smoke." In ancient times, fragrant resins were burned as incense offerings that were the origin. Today, we understand perfume to be a solution containing 15% to 30% perfume oils and 85% to 70% alcohol, respectively. Most highly concentrated form of fragrance, containing between 20 - 50% perfume compound, It’s the strongest and the longest lasting.
