How to distinguish fragrances

Perfume, Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette and Eau de Cologne differ in the proportion of essential oil components, affecting the ability to store scents.

The main difference between perfumes is in the concentration of the essence. Order from high to low in the table of perfume concentration table:

1. The first is Perfume
2. The second is Eau de Parfum (EDP)
3. The third is the Eau de Toilette (EDT)
4. The fourth is Eau de Cologne
5. The last one is Eau Fraiche

5 fragrances are distinguished by the concentration of essences.

The fragrance is usually a combination of three layers of incense: the first layer, the middle layer and the base layer, and in turn the layers will appear over time. The top scent is the first one emitted from the perfume bottle. After a while, the scent gradually faded away and gave way to the middle scent. eventually the substrate will take its place and survive until the scent stops working.

Perfume

Perfume usually contains up to 30% perfume essence while Eau de Toilette contains only 10%.

Perfume is often the most expensive perfume because it contains 20-30% of the essence. This means that the scent will last longer (from 6 to 8 hours), meaning that you will use less perfume, so Perfume is usually only sold in small quantities.

Perfume is considered as the best perfume because all three layers of the top, middle and background together exist and support each other during the time the fragrance is effective. Thanks to the high concentration of perfume essence, Perfume does not have a problem with this fragrance evaporating faster than the other.

Eau de Parfum

Eau de Parfum can hold the scent for about 4-5 hours.

Eau de Parfum contains 15-20% perfume essence, the second time in the fragrance (from 4-5 hours), suitable for outdoor activities. The scent of Eau de Parfum can be a little strong when used indoors or in tight, crowded spaces. When using Eau de Parfum, a person standing a distance away from you can feel your scent.
