EDT vs EDP vs Parfum: What It Means
These labels describe how concentrated the fragrance oil is in the liquid.
- Eau de Toilette (EDT): typically the lightest of the three.
- Eau de Parfum (EDP): typically more concentrated than EDT.
- Parfum / Extrait: typically the most concentrated.
Exact percentages vary by brand and there's no strict rule, so a higher concentration doesn't automatically mean longer wear. Skin, climate and the composition matter too.
