Have you ever looked at a perfume bottle and wondered what EDP, EDT, or Parfum actually mean?
You're not alone.
Many people assume these terms simply describe different perfumes, but they actually refer to the concentration of fragrance oils in the bottle. This concentration directly affects how long a perfume lasts, how strongly it projects, and the overall fragrance experience.
If you're shopping for your next signature scent, understanding these perfume types can help you make the right choice.
At The Boho Storyy, we craft our fragrances as Eau de Parfum (EDP), offering the perfect balance of longevity, richness, and everyday wearability.
What Is Perfume Concentration?
Every perfume contains a blend of:
- Fragrance oils
- Alcohol
- Water
The percentage of fragrance oils determines how intense and long-lasting the perfume will be.
Generally:
| Type | Fragrance Oil | Lasts |
|---|---|---|
| Eau de Cologne | 2–5% | 1–2 Hours |
| Eau de Toilette (EDT) | 5–15% | 3–5 Hours |
| Eau de Parfum (EDP) | 15–20% | 6–10 Hours |
| Parfum | 20–30% | 8–12+ Hours |
Higher concentration doesn't always mean "better." The right choice depends on your lifestyle, climate, and personal preference.
