What are the different types of perfumes?

In today’s blog post, we are going to quickly take a look at the different kinds of scents that you can opt for. While essentially all of them perform the same function, the method, concentration, and lasting-power differ significantly.

1-   Eau de Toilette

A milder variation of fragrance, this form has a concentration of 5% to 15%. They are not long-lasting with a staying power of an hour or two and are readily available everywhere in the shops.

Where can you wear it? You can use it for everyday wear, office, or simply throw it in your bag and use it when needed during the day.

2-   Eau de Parfum

Coming to a higher concentration of scent ranging from 15-20% -- Eau de Parfum is your go-to-choice for strong fragrances. It is long-lasting and can stay on through humid and hot weather too.

Where can you wear it? It is a great choice for everyday use or formal setting where you do not want to have an overpowering essence yet want the scent to linger on.

3-   Eau de Cologne

With one of the lowest concentrations of the scent of 4% and the highest amount of alcohol, this is strong but in a different sense. It has a staying power of one to two hours.

Where can you wear it? You can use it for everyday wear or throw it in your bag and use it when needed during the day.

4-   Eau Fraiche

This is the most readily available and affordable form of perfume out there. It has a low concentration of fragrance of 1% and would typically last for an hour.

Where can you wear it? If you simply are heading out for a brief while to run errands or so, then you can quickly grab this variety of perfume.
