Concentration is given by the percentage of dilution of the concentrate in alcohol. Since there are no regulations on this subject, concentrations vary depending on the brand or fragrance.
The formula of each fragrance, and therefore its basic concentrate, remains the same for all concentrations. The proportions of this mixture determine the intensity of the fragrance, as well as the name assigned to the solution. When you wear perfume, water and alcohol evaporate, leaving only fragrant essences on the skin.
Consequences of these differences in concentration: A difference in terms of prices the more concentrated the product is and the higher its raw material content, the more expensive it will be , but also a difference in lasting intensity and application. As perfume is the most concentrated solution, its scent is stronger and heady, and only a few touches are needed.
The fragrance will last a whole day and even longer. Its more concentrated composition makes this product more intense and luxurious, but also more expensive. Thanks to a fairly low concentration, it is characterized by its lightness, subtlety, and freshness.
Its composition has an invigorating action on the skin. Being more ephemeral than eau de parfum, it is often preferred in the summer season. However, eau de toilette needs to be reapplied several times during the day. Being more volatile than perfume, eau de parfum can also be sprayed on your neck or on your clothes beware of light or fragile fabrics. You can rely on it all day long, and possibly reapply it in the evening to enhance your fragrance worn throughout the day.
Meet the Expert. What's interesting is how the scent "experience" changes between an eau de parfum and an eau de toilette. In other words, an eau de parfum has a higher concentration of fragrance, which results in a longer-lasting and more aromatic application.
What's more is that the eau de parfum and eau de toilette might not smell the exact same, even if they're labeled as being the same fragrance. For Diptyque fragrances, at least, the actual formula is tweaked to accommodate the different concentration of fragrance. For example, in the Do Son eau de toilette, you have tuberose, jasmine, and orange blossom in harmony, while in the eau de parfum, you have a true overdose of tuberose.
This note is amplified, which brings a totally different dimension to the experience of the scent. Wallace says that's why eau de parfums and eau de toilettes aren't exactly interchangeable. For daytime or office wear, the eau de toilette may be more comfortable and appropriate, while the eau de parfum offers more depth, which can be nice for the evening. If you didn't believe it before, this should have convinced you that fragrance is indeed a fine art and not just an olfactory instinct of "this smells good" and "this doesn't.
Also be sure to pay mind to what time of day, time of year, and setting you'll be wearing the fragrance in. As Diptyque taught me, all of it matters.
So gone are my days of blindly grabbing one or the other. Up next: When does perfume actually expire? We investigate. Thank you [email] for signing up. Please enter a valid email address. Your Privacy Rights.
