Here’s what differs cologne, eau de parfum, and eau de toilette from each other

For so long we’re often intrigued by the difference between eau de parfum, eau de toilette, and cologne in terms of quality, substance, and type of fragrance. As we try developing our ~signature scent~, it’s best that we find the right fit for us!

All three are great in giving scent to our bodies but they are not all on the same page in the amount of perfume oil (the component that is responsible for the fragrance) in each bottle.

Cologne, eau de parfum, and eau de toilette

The most concentration are in Eau de parfums (EDP) with 15 to 20 percent each bottle, followed by eau de toilette (EDT) with five to 15 percent, and then cologne with the least amount of oils (two to four percent). This is pretty much the reason why EDP is priced highly among the three.

Since we want our smell to be long-lasting, we have taken to account this as well. It’s discovered that the higher the perfume oil concentration is, the longer its scent lasts a day.

EDP can peak from four-five hours, EDT can go for two to three, while cologne can take just one to two hours only.

Yes, we know that affordability matters most in this time. Taking a trip to Rustans and seeing the prices of Eau de parfum in varying brands can cause a mini heart attack! Preview Magazine suggests a hack that can save you bucks, purchase “EDT and cologne formulas and do this trick: Transform them into longer-lasting fragrances by applying any moisturizing agent on your skin before spritzing them on. A light layer of unscented lotion, cream, body oil, and even petroleum jelly can extend the wear of your chosen scent.”

Depending on your budget and by taking notes on the things mentioned above, you may scout for your everyday fragrance online in BeautyMNL, Shopee, Lazada, and various online stores! However, if you want to opt to test them on-hand in malls, please follow health protocols and be vigilant at all times.
