Answer 1

Hope this might help.


What is the difference between Pure Perfume, Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, and Eau de Cologne?
The differences are simply a matter of the amount or concentration of oils in the fragrance. The highest concentration is in pure perfume (or parfum). Next would be Eau de Parfum, then Eau de Toilette, and finally Eau de Cologne. Some manufacturers make a solid perfume, solid perfume is as strong as a pure perfume however it is in a gel-like consistency. Eau De Toilette and Eau De Cologne are generally interchangeable, especially in Men's fragrances. After Shave has the least amount of oils. The higher the concentration the longer your fragrance will last, and the less you need to apply.

Answer 2

Parfum is 22% fragrance oils. It is a blend of pure essential oils combined with the purest alcohol. This is the most concentrated and the longest-lasting form of fragrance.

Eau de Parfum is 15 to 22% fragrance oils. Slightly modified and less concentrated, but longer-lasting than eau de toilette.

Eau de Toilette and Cologne have 4 to 15% fragrance oils. Theses are lighter in concentration, meant to be worn daily.

So if you are looking for something that is long lasting, you would choose a Parfum

Answer 3

There is definitely a price difference between all of these.
The lighter (or more diluted) the fragrance then the cheaper it will be.
If you are after a perfume that lingers longer then you are after 'perfume'.

Also if you want a perfume that lingers for a long time then use the layering technique. This is when you use the same fragrance for your soap, powder, body spray and perfume. Because each layer adds a hint of fragrance, together they leave a long lasting scent.

Answer 4

the difference is eau de parfume and eau de toilette. eau de toilette isnt as strong if you want a strong smell go for parfume

Answer 5

the Eau de .. never seems to smell good, they remind me of an old lady smell that is back from the 40's like great grandma smell. colognes and perfumes to me are much nicer scents. good luck.

Answer 6

This one guy said...."oh no way...its that poor homey sh*t"
Just watned to add that.
