One of the most frequently asked questions in perfumery is: what is the difference between an eau de parfum and an eau de toilette? At Maison Diaphane , we guide you to understand the nuances between these two fragrance families, so you can better choose the perfume that suits you.
Eau de parfum vs. eau de toilette: the concentration
- Eau de parfum (EDP) : contains between 15% and 20% perfume essences . More concentrated, it offers a richer and more intense fragrance.
- Eau de toilette (EDT) : contains between 5% and 15% perfume concentrate. It is lighter and airier .
Skin hold and longevity
- Eau de parfum : thanks to its concentration, it can last between 6 and 8 hours , or even longer depending on skin type.
- Eau de toilette : more volatile, it generally lasts for 3 to 5 hours .
Use according to the occasion
- Eau de parfum : ideal for special occasions , evenings out or when you want a stronger fragrance.
- Eau de toilette : perfect for everyday use , especially in warm weather, for its freshness and discretion.
Depth and olfactory structure
- Eau de parfum : often more complex , it reveals top, middle and base notes that evolve over the hours. Its sillage is more pronounced.
- Eau de toilette : often built around fresh and luminous notes , it diffuses quickly and leaves a more fleeting impression.
Difference between eau de parfum and eau de toilette:
- The eau de parfum is more concentrated, more tenacious, more opulent.
