What is the difference between Perfume, Eau de Parfum and Eau de Toilette?

The main difference between these is the amount of perfume oil found in it, as observed:


Perfume extract: 20%-40% aromatic compounds


Eau de parfum: 10-30% aromatic compounds


Eau de toilette: 5-20% aromatic compounds


Eau de cologne: 2-3% aromatic compounds





As the percentage of aromatic compounds decreases, the intensity and longevity of the scent decreases. It should be noted that different perfumeries or perfume houses assign different amount of oils to each of their perfumes. As such, although the oil concentration of a perfume in eau de parfum dilution will necessarily be higher then the same perfume in eau de toilette form, the same trends maynot necessarily apply to different perfume composition much less across different perfume houses.What is the difference between Perfume, Eau de Parfum and Eau de Toilette?
I believe it's the concentration of scent. Perfume is at the top, followed by eau de parfum, eau de toilette, and eau de cologne, each containing a lesser degree of aromatic oils. The lower the concentration of aromatic oils, the shorter the scent life. Perfume wears well, meaning the scent stays fresh as the day wears on. Eau de parfum, eau de toilette, and eau de cologne do not last nearly as long because they are more ';watered down'; and do not have the concentration of scent/oils that perfume has. Also, good perfume is designed to smell nice throughout its various stages of wear. The others, since they are not as high quality, may vary in their scent throughout the day (as well as not lasting long).What is the difference between Perfume, Eau de Parfum and Eau de Toilette?
With all we associate with perfume, it might seem counter-intuitive that fragrant chemicals are generally caustic irritants in concentrated form. For this reason perfume is made with diluted essential oils and compounds. Generally, the concentration is bout 20-40% for perfume, 10% less for parfum, 20% less for eau de toilette, and cologne only contains between two and five percent aromatic oils.
