What is the difference between "Perfume," "Cologne," "EDT," and "EDP"?

 As a brand deeply engrained in the art and science of fragrances, we at Scents the Perfume Specialists are often asked about the distinctions between the various fragrances we offer. Here, we aim to demystify these differences, making it easier to find your signature fragrance, whether you're shopping for fragrances online or in-store. Let's dive into the fascinating world of perfumes and colognes!  

  

Understanding "Perfume", "Cologne", "EDT", and "EDP".  

  

Perfume:





Often considered the most luxurious form of fragrance, perfume contains the highest concentration of fragrance oils, typically ranging from 20% to 30%. 1 Million Parfum by Paco Rabanne is a perfume for men with a warm, deliberate scent on the edge of the extreme. Chanel No 5 by Channel is the best-selling women's perfume with a classy fragrance that boasts essential oils from a unique floral bouquet of rose, lily of the valley, and jasmine mixed with orris root at the middle note of the fragrant perfume.  

  

Cologne:





Originally used to describe a traditional recipe of citrus and herbal notes, cologne now generally refers to fragrances composed of about 2% to 4% fragrance oils in alcohol and water. One of the best fragrances for men is Sauvage by Dior, which opens with a fiery pepper note that leads to a centre of delicate lavender and touches of floral geranium notes. Meanwhile Tobacco Vannile by Tom Ford is an Amber Spicy fragrance for men and women with unforgettable spicy notes.  

  

Eau de Parfum (EDP):





Eau de Parfum is slightly less concentrated than perfume, with fragrance oil concentrations between 15% and 20%. It typically lasts about 4 to 5 hours and is suitable for both men and women, making it a versatile option for those looking to explore the best fragrances for any occasion. Spicebomb Night Vision by Viktor & Rolf and Bottega Veneta are among the best EDPs for men and women, respectively.  

  

Eau de Toilette (EDT):





With a fragrance oil concentration between 5% and 15%, EDT is lighter than EDP and is one of the most common fragrances available. It's refreshing nature makes it ideal for daywear or warmer climates. The best examples for EDT are JPG Le Beau by Jean Paul Gaultier, which is a male fragrance with the coolness of the Mint and herbal aroma of Wormwood, and Opium by Yves Saint Laurent, a women's fragrance which has an opulent top note and is deepened by middle notes of jasmine and carnation.   

  

How to Choose the Best Perfumes for Women and Men  

 Choosing a perfume can feel overwhelming, with so many options. However, picking a scent that matches your personality and lifestyle can boost your confidence.  

  

Men's fragrances usually have strong, bold notes, such as earthy, woody, and spicy scents, giving off a traditional masculine vibe.  

  

Women's fragrances often have sweeter, lighter, and more floral or fruity notes, capturing a sense of femininity and delicacy.  

  

But really, the best perfume for anyone is the one that makes them feel the most confident and comfortable. Discover the exciting array of Perfumes, Colognes, EDP, and EDT at Scents the Perfume Specialists, and let your curiosity guide you to your perfect scent.
