The difference between an Eau de Toilette and an Eau de Parfum isn't just the name—it's the amount of perfume oil in the bottle, which dictates how long it lasts and how strong it smells.
| Type | Oil % | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Eau Fraîche The lightest concentration, mostly water and alcohol. Very subtle. | 1-3% | < 2 hours |
| Eau de Cologne (EDC) Fresh and light, typically with strong citrus notes. Needs frequent reapplication. | 2-4% | 2-3 hours |
| Eau de Toilette (EDT) The most popular daily wear concentration. Balanced projection and longevity. | 5-15% | 3-5 hours |
| Eau de Parfum (EDP) More intense and longer-lasting. Great for evenings or colder weather. | 15-20% | 5-8 hours |
| Parfum / Extrait The most concentrated form. Very potent, stays close to the skin (intimate), and lasts all day. | 20-40% | 8-24+ hours |
