Is there a difference between Charlie ';Blue'; perfume & Charlie ';Blue Eau Fraiche';?

When a fragrance is labeled ';Eau Fraiche';, it usually means that it is weaker in perfume concentration, and so last for a shorter period of time on your skin 鈥?see below for an explanation of perfume concentrations!





Perfume/Parfum is the purest fragrance form, also the longest lasting due to the high content of essential oils.





Eau de Parfum (EDP) has a typical concentration of 12-20 percent essential oils for less long-lasting wear than a perfume.





Eau de toilette has a typical concentration of 8 to 15 percent essential oils.





Eau de cologne (or Cologne) has a concentration of 4 to 8 percent of essential oils.





Eau fraiche is the most diluted of scent with just 1 to 3 percent concentration of essential oils.





Although this is true in most cases, sometimes ';Eau Fraiche'; means that it is a reformulation of the fragrance which is a ';lighter'; version of the original. However, I don't think this is the case with Charlie Blue. Hope this helps!
