You might think that the difference between “perfume” and “cologne” is who the bottle is intended for, or which counter it’s sold at—the reality is a little more subtle than that. Simply, all fragrances are largely the same, but they’re given a name based on the concentration of oil in alcohol and water.

1.Cologne (Eau de Cologne)– Oldest term for perfume, used in North America for masculine scents. Light, fresh and fruity, typically composed of 2% – 4% perfume oils in alcohol and water. Tend to be used in fragrances for younger people. Usuallylasts for about 2 hours.

2.Toilette (Eau de Toilette)– A light spray composition with 5% – 15% pureperfume essence dissolved in alcohol. Usuallylasts for about 3 hours.

3.Perfume– A corruption of the Latin phrase per fumum (through smoke). The most concentrated and expensive of all fragrance options. Slightly oilier, perfume, or parfum, is composed of 20% – 30% pure perfume essence. A single application of perfume canlast up to 24 hours.
