DISCOVER PERFUMERY and wear what you like.

When most think of cologne they think of a fragrance made for men. Cologne was traditionally worn by men who splashed it on as a freshener. Of course today we know, that both men and women wear cologne. It's all about preference. Some prefer colognes in the summer months because colognes tend to be lighter, evaporating more quickly, and the fragrance doesn't linger, but remember fragrance is art and the beauty is in the wearer.

This one is a little tricky. Eau de Toilette is a muted version of Eau de Parfum. Many of the fragrance houses you know offer Eau de Toilette as a less expensive and lighter version; however, Eau de Toilette is not always made up of the same notes as Eau de Parfum, so the fragrance carries differently due to its structure. Remember fragrance is art. It's all about what you like and prefer.

When shopping for fragrances you will find this is the most common offering to consumers. Depending on your body chemistry, EDP will last a few hours, perhaps the entire day. 

Extrait de Parfum is the most powerful concentration of all I have discussed. However, it is not 100% fragrance due to the necessity of dilution for safety. It is also the most expensive category. You may find a spritz of Extrait de Parfum slightly oily on your skin, and it will last all day and sometimes longer. depending on your body chemistry. Have you ever fallen asleep to awaken to the scent of your favorite fragrance lingering on your skin?
