   What Is The Difference Between Eau De Cologne, Eau De Toilette, And Eau De Parfum?

   These indicate the level of concentration or strength of the fragrance. The highest concentration is in pure perfume (or parfum oil). Next would be Eau de Parfum, then Eau de Toilette, and lastly Eau de Cologne. The higher the concentration, the longer your fragrance will last, and the less you need to apply.

   Concentration

   Perfume is composed of aromatic compounds and fine fragrant oil extracts diluted in water or high-grade alcohol. The amount and type of these aromatic compounds determines the concentration or “strength” of the fragrance and the lasting power of the scent. Below are the different concentration levels:

   Perfume Oil or Pure Parfum:

   Most concentrated potent solution with 15-40% aromatic compounds. Lasts the longest.

   Eau de Parfum (EDP):

   Concentrated alcohol based solution with 10-30% aromatic compounds.

   Eau de Toilette (EDT):

   Concentrated alcohol/water based solution with 5-20% aromatic compounds.

   Eau de Cologne (EDC):

   Least concentrated alcohol/water based solution with 3-8% aromatic compounds.

   As the percentage of aromatic compounds decreases, the longevity of the scent decreases. Please note that different perfume houses assign different amounts of oils to each of their perfumes. The smell can also seem quite different when comparing the levels of concentration. To make your fragrance last longer you should layer your fragrance by using the shower gel and/or body lotion of the same fragrance.

   How to convert size (oz to mil)?

   The reason for these differences is due to the conversion from metric measurements to Imperial measurements. Differences on how bottle sizes are displayed between geographical locations, as well as differences between fragrance manufacturers results in these small differences (less than or equal to .1 oz) to represent the same size when converted to and from the metric size equivalent.

   For example, products advertised as 3.4 oz may be displayed on the actual product as 3.3 oz. Both 3.3 oz and 3.4 oz sizes are used interchangeably to represent 100 ml.

   Here is a conversion of the most popular industry standard sizes:

   1.0 oz = 30 ml
   1.6/1.7 oz = 50 ml
   2.5/2.6 oz = 75 ml
   3.3/3.4 oz = 100 ml
   5.0/5.1 oz = 150 ml
   6.6/6.7 oz = 200 ml
