Perfume, eau de parfum, eau de toilette, eau de Cologne: what are the differences?

The world of perfumery is divided into 4 main categories: eau de parfum, eau de toilette, eau de Cologne and perfume. The difference between these categories is mainly due to the amount of pure fragrance concentration within each product

Le Parfum

Perfume is the most concentrated solution, containing between 20% and 40% of pure perfume, which makes its scent more assertive and intoxicating. There's no need to apply large quantities, so spray your skin sparingly: a few drops on the wrists, behind the ears or at the base of the décolleté are all you need for long-lasting wear. Of all product categories, perfume is by far the most luxurious.

Eau de parfum

The concentration, diffusion and staying power of eau de parfum are ideally suited to daily use. Eau de parfum is volatile, containing between 15% and 20% of pure perfume. Minor touch-ups may be necessary to restore the fragrance's intensity. Favor the areas around your neck and on your clothes to spray your eau de parfum.

Eau de toilette

Eau de toilette is alow-concentrationproduct in pure fragrance, which offers the advantage of being invigorating and subtle, avoiding stubbornness. Its ephemeral nature means that users have to wear perfume several times a day, but it ensures asoft, light scent. Summer is the perfect season for fragrancing with eau de toilette!

Eau de Cologne

Eau de Cologne contains between 3% and 6% of pure perfume. Its composition is usually predominantly floral or aromatic, and it is also known for itsrefreshing . Eau de Cologne, on the other hand, doesn't last very long on the skin, evaporating very quickly.

At Adopt, eau parfumée is a flagship product that we're constantly reinventing! The product ranges on offer, such as eaux de parfum, benefit from good olfactory staying power and a lower alcohol content, respecting even the most sensitive skin. Nothing is more pleasant for a woman to wear than the scent of Adopt fragrances.
