Eau de parfum or Eau de toilette?

Here’s a breakdown of the key differences between Eau de Parfum (EDP) and Eau de Toilette (EDT) to help you choose:

Concentration:

• Eau de Parfum (EDP): Contains a higher concentration of perfume oil (15-20%). This translates to a stronger scent and longer lasting fragrance (around 4-8 hours).
• Eau de Toilette (EDT): Contains a lower concentration of perfume oil (5-15%). This results in a lighter scent that doesn’t last as long (around 2-4 hours).

Price:

• Eau de Parfum is generally more expensive due to the higher concentration of fragrance oil.

Suitability:

• Eau de Parfum: Ideal for evening wear or when you want a long-lasting fragrance. Can be overpowering in hot weather or small spaces due to its strength.
• Eau de Toilette: A good choice for daytime wear or warmer climates. A lighter option for everyday use.

Here’s a quick table to summarize:
