Just What Is the Difference Between Perfume, Eau de Parfum (EDP), Eau de Toilette (EDT), and Cologne?
Shopping for fragrance can be confusing at best, or overwhelming at worst. Not only are there top notes, middle notes, and bottom notes, but whole classes of scents. What’s more, once you’ve decided on a scent, another decision must be made: perfume, eau de parfum, eau de toilette or cologne?

Fragrances are available in perfume, eau de parfum, eau de toilette, or cologne form. The main differentiating factor of these is the concentration of aromatic compounds in a solvent – that is, how much fragrance is in the formula’s composition. The more actual perfume concentrate it contains, the longer the scent will last on your skin, and the more expensive the product. Following is a breakdown of these categories.

Perfume
Perfume, also referred to as perfume extract, is the most concentrated formulation, and is usually the most expensive. It contains 15-30% aromatic compounds. Due to its high amount of aromatic compounds, it also tends to last the longest when applied to the skin. It is usually sold in small bottles of 1 ounce or less.

Eau de Parfum
Eau de parfum, also called eau de perfume, is the next most concentrated formula, and one of the most popular purchases. It consists of 10-15% aromatic compounds.

Eau de Toilette (EDT)
Eau de toilette is also a popular choice, and is less expensive than the perfume or parfum formulations, although its scent will not last as long when applied to the skin. Eau de toilette contains 5-20% aromatic compounds.

Cologne, or Eau de Cologne
Eau de Cologne originated in Cologne, Germany. Today, it is a generic term that defines a class of scented formulations by its typical concentration of about 2-5%. Cologne products are available for either men or women, and are sometimes mistaken for aftershave, which is actually a formula containing moisturizer, an antiseptic agent, and perfume. In addition, aftershave can be a gel, lotion, or liquid.

For any perfume concentration, be sure to keep the bottle tightly sealed and stored in a cool, dry place away from windows or direct sunlight or heat sources to maximize its shelf life. For best results, store opened bottles inside their boxes. Fragrances usually last three years from the date they were manufactured.

The 5 Sexiest Scents Ever:

If you’re looking for a sexy new fragrance to wear, it’s easy to be overwhelmed by all the options available at the perfume counter or beauty store. To choose the right fragrance for you, first consider which of the sexiest scents you are looking for: spicy and sweet, floral, vanilla, musk, or lavender. Following is a breakdown of each.

Spicy :
Spicy, sweet scents such as cinnamon, ginger, and frankincense evoke feelings of warmth and comfort. Try Calvin Klein Obsession or Opium by Yves Saint Laurent for a sweet, spicy, and sexy scent, or Ellen Tracy by Ellen Tracy, which has spicy cinnamon top notes.

Floral :
Floral – a traditional perfume scent – isn’t just for grandmothers. Floral perfumes on the market now range from traditional flower scents to clean, crisp and modern fragrances with fruity or woody base notes. There are even “green” florals with sharp, grassy, or plant-like tones.
Chanel 5 is the quintessential floral perfume. For a fruitier floral, try Calyx by Prescriptives or Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden. For a woody floral, consider Safari by Ralph Lauren or White Linen by Estee Lauder. Moreover, for a green floral, Fidji by Guy Laroche for Women and Givenchy III are nice options.

Vanilla :
Vanilla is a sweet and sultry scent that evokes memories of freshly baked goods in the kitchen. The heavy, sweet scent works well in the wintertime, as it can be a warm contrast to the cold outdoor temperatures. It is considered part of the Oriental category of perfumes.

Try LAVANILA Pure Vanilla or Vanilla Cake Batter by Demeter. For a more exotic blend, consider Laurence Dumont’s Vanille Chocolat.

Musk :
Also part of the Oriental family of scents, musk is spicy and exotic. Aviance Night Musk by Prince Matchavelli or Jovan White Musk Perfume by Jovan are two good choices for a musk fragrance.

Lavender :
Lavender has long been associated with love and romance. Cleopatra is said to have seduced both Mark Anthony and Julius Caesar using the scent of lavender. Studies have also shown lavender to be the most arousing scent to men and that it may help with impotence. In present times, lavender is sometimes placed under newlywed couples’ beds to ensure passion.

The calming, sweet scent of lavender is commonly used in perfumes as a top or middle note. Try it out in Lavender (Lavande) by Taylor of London or the Healing Garden Lavender Perfume by Coty.
