Have you seen
these names on colognes and wondered what exactly they mean. Well, they
basically stand for the strength of a scent that is in terms of the percentage
of the essential oils there in. Let me not start by teaching you how they are
pronounced…..just because I can :-p
Perfume
This contains
like 22% of the essential oils and is usually the strongest plus the most
expensive. It’s the most concentrated form of a scent. I actually don’t own any
cologne with this percentage.......but I will….. soon.
Eau
de Perfume
This contains less essential oils
than the perfume.
Something less than 22% but more than 15%. Most of my colognes are Eau de
Perfume. Just saying.
Eau
de Toilette
The concentration is
approximately 8-15%.They are less strong than Eau de Perfume but that doesn’t
mean designer colognes with Eau de Toilette are not original. Colognes with
such concentration can for example be used in places where people are gathered
for a while e.g. in church or a movie theatre. I mean you don’t wanna choke
people with your scent…..now do you?
Eau de Cologne
This is the weakest of them all. Really weak and cheapest too. The essential oils are less than 5%. I personally won't buy a cologne with such concentration. *smiles*
