Perfume Oil:

Perfume oil is the core substance in any perfume. A perfumer might mix over 100 different ingredients to create the pure perfume, known as “Perfume Oil”.

Intensity Difference:

The primary difference between Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum is the intensity of the fragrance, which is determined by the concentration of perfume oil. Alcohol is commonly added as a solvent and is often mixed with a small amount of water.

Eau de Toilette:

Eau de Toilette is ideal for daily use. It is a lighter formula, typically containing between 5% to 10% perfume oil. Its fragrance lasts for a few hours.

Eau de Parfum:

Eau de Parfum is more intense and luxurious, usually containing between 10% to 20% perfume oil. Its fragrance can last throughout the day.
