What's the difference between Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, and Eau de Cologne?

The main difference between Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, and Eau de Cologne lies in the concentration of perfume oils they contain:

Eau de Cologne (EDC): This has the lowest concentration of perfume oils, typically around 2-5%. It's a light, refreshing fragrance that usually lasts for a couple of hours.

Eau de Toilette (EDT): This has a higher concentration of perfume oils, usually between 5-15%. It's a lighter fragrance than Eau de Parfum and typically lasts for 2-4 hours.

Eau de Parfum (EDP): This has the highest concentration of perfume oils, typically between 15-20%. It's a richer, more intense fragrance that can last for 5 hours or more.

Should I spray perfume on my skin or clothes?

Whether you spray perfume on your skin or clothes depends on a few factors, and there's no single "right" answer. Here's a breakdown:

Spraying on Skin:

Pros:

  • Allows the perfume to interact with your body's natural oils, creating a unique and personalized scent.
  • Pulse points (wrists, neck, behind ears) generate heat, which helps diffuse the fragrance.
  • Generally considered the traditional and most effective way to wear perfume.

Cons:

  • Can cause skin irritation or allergic reactions, especially for those with sensitive skin.
  • May not last as long on dry skin.
  • Some ingredients can react negatively to sun exposure, causing discoloration.

Spraying on Clothes:

Pros:

  • Fragrance tends to last longer on fabric than on skin.
  • Less likely to cause skin irritation.
  • Can be a good option for people with sensitive skin.

Cons:

  • The perfume's scent may not develop as fully or uniquely as it does on skin.
  • Some fabrics can be stained or damaged by perfume, especially delicate materials like silk.
  • The scent will be what the perfumer intended, instead of a personalized scent.
