Parfum, EDP, EDT or Cologne...tester?

This is another entry on different concentration of perfumes category..

First is the Parfum which consists of 20% perfume, 80% alcohol. Top & middle notes will lasts four to six hours. Also known as Perfume extract, ‘Perfume’ is the most concentrated and smoothest of the four types. Typically made up of a 20-40% concentration of scented compounds, perfume is definitely the most expensive to buy.

Second is the Eau de Parfum (EDP) which is 10-15% perfume, remainder alcohol. An EDP scent will usually fade after four to five hours, but the edp base notes can linger for a 24 hour period. Fragrances with an EDP concentration are perfect if you need an all day scent.

Third the Eau de Toilette (EDT) consisting of 5-12% perfume, remainder alcohol and water. Top & middle notes will lasts 2 to 4 hours. This remains the most common scent strength preferred. Some people find that some EDT perfumes last a long while, but generally these are better left for night time use where the scent isn’t needed for as long.

Fourth is the Eau de Cologne (EDC) consisting of 2-3% perfume, remainder mostly water. Lasts about 2 hours. 

Fifth is the Eau Fraiche which is 3% perfume, remainder mostly water. Lasts about 2 hours.

Last but not least is the Tester category which had been produced as a tester unit for counter usage. The parfum ingredient is the same as normal selling perfumes. The testers set that we have are still full in size and not been used by anybody.

p/s:there have been claims that the tester units to be more concentrated compared to the ones which is sold over the counter as tester units are the ones which plays the role to woo you in buying the perfume. anyhoo,we have all this..;p happy shopping..
