Between the eau de Cologne (EDC), eau de toilette (EDT), eau de parfum (EDP) and perfume, it becomes difficult to make the difference! In a few words, we explain you the difference between
It is all about concentration…
In fact it is pretty simple: when we create a perfume, we define its concentration in raw materials. Its depends on the fragrance’s personality and style. The more the perfume is concentrated, the longer it will last on your skin! The difference between EDC, EDT, EDP and perfume is therefore mainly related to their concentration in raw materials. For information, the persistence of a fragrance on your skin is also directly influenced by its ingredients. That’s why some of them, like sweet ingredients for instance, will naturally make the perfume last longer on your skin.
The eau de Cologne
The eau de Cologne is a very light fragrance, generally simple and for both women and men. That is we wear in summer or to make sport. EDC are often made of citrus fruits, which explain the tonic side of the fragrances that belong to the citrus olfactory family.
The eau de toilette
The eau de toilette is more concentrated, and commonly found in perfumeries. Its light wake stays on your skin about half a day, while it varies from skin to skin. It depends of course on the quantity of perfume sprayed…
The eau de parfum
More concentrated in raw materials and therefore more intense than the EDT, the eau de parfum (EDP) is perfect for your daily life. It will stick to your skin almost a day, and be noteworthy by its delicacy.
The pure perfume
Finally, the perfume (also called extract, pure perfume or perfume essence at Carrément Belle) is even more powerful and subtle. We generally save it for the most precious moments. A few drops are enough to leave an olfactory print in your wake…

I have worn Estee Launder Red Door since 1988, the last bottle I bought was not the same that I had alway’s wore the smell was as if it was watered down or changed also it does not last as long. I used to put it on when I started to work and last until I got home for the evening. Can you please tell me what to buy to replace this perfume ? Thank’s Kathern

By the way, the link to the “Where to Apply Perfume” in the last paragraph is outdated, and we’re getting the “404 – ooops! That page can not be found” error.
