Perfume Basket prides itself on being a top-tier online hub for authentic, branded cosmetics and stationery, bringing luxury right to your doorstep. This blog shines a spotlight on our prized aromatic selections, guiding you through the complex landscape of perfumery. Grasping the distinctions between EDT, EDP, EDC, Perfume, and Eau Fraiche is essential, as it primarily revolves around the concentration of essential oils. A higher concentration typically means a longer-lasting fragrance and a higher price tag.

EDT (Eau de Toilette): Featuring a 5-15% essence concentration, EDT is a lighter fragrance option than EDP and has a staying power of about 2 to 4 hours. It's a more wallet-friendly choice compared to Eau de Parfum and enjoys immense popularity for its versatility. Generally, EDT is recommended for daytime use, while EDP is favored for evening events.

EDP (Eau de Parfum): Slightly less intense than pure perfume, EDP boasts a 15-20% concentration of fragrance essence, making it linger on the skin for about 4 to 5 hours. This balance of intensity and longevity makes EDP a go-to for daily wear. Those in search of a robust and lasting fragrance might prefer EDP or stronger formulations. In contrast, opting for an EDT may require more frequent applications, with a single bottle lasting about two to three weeks.

Perfume (Parfum): The most potent among fragrance options, Parfum contains a 15-40% concentration of fragrance essence, typically around 20-30%. This high concentration ensures that a small amount goes a long way, with the fragrance lasting 6 to 8 hours, varying by skin type. Parfum is often suitable for individuals with sensitive skin due to its lower alcohol content, reducing the likelihood of skin irritation.

Eau Fraiche: Known for its brief longevity, Eau Fraiche lasts about 1 to 2 hours and boasts a very low concentration of fragrance essence. Distinctively, it contains a minimal amount of alcohol and is predominantly water, offering a light and refreshing scent.

EDC (Eau De Cologne): Even lighter than EDT, Eau De Cologne, or simply Cologne, has a fragrance essence concentration of 2-6%, with a durability of roughly 2 hours. Typically available in larger bottles, EDC requires a more generous application to maintain its scent.
