Types of perfume and Fragrance notes

-
Fragrances are created with a mixture of essential oils and alcohol. When the scent is applied to your body, the alcohol will burn off into the air, while the essential oils will be absorbed into your skin. The difference between an eau de parfum and an eau de toilette will be in the concentration of essential oils. This means that those fragrances with a higher concentration of the oils will smell stronger, last longer, and generally come with a higher price tag. These are often the fragrances of choice for special occasions and evening wear. On the other hand, lower concentrations of the essential oils will result in a more affordable product that might be preferable for daily wear, or for fragrance layering.


From highest concentration to less concentration are:
  • Perfume extract, or simply perfume (Extrait): 15-40% (IFRA: typical 20%) aromatic compounds
  • Esprit de Parfum (ESdP): 15-30% aromatic compounds, a seldom used strength concentration in between EdP and perfume
  • Eau de Parfum (EdP), Parfum de Toilette (PdT): 10-20% (typical ~15%) aromatic compounds, sometimes listed as "eau de perfume" or "millésime"
  • Eau de Toilette (EdT): 5-15% (typical ~10%) aromatic compounds
  • Eau de Cologne (EdC): Chypre citrus type perfumes with 3-8% (typical ~5%) aromatic compounds
  • Perfume mist: 3-8％ aromatic compounds (typical non-alcohol solvent)
  • Splash and After shave: 1-3% aromatic compounds



My favourite is from Avon Ice Sheers Refreshing Eau de Toilette Spray,it contain a refreshing fusion of pear sorbet with hints of icy melon and whipped vanilla. 
Another favorite of mine is  Avon JET FEMME eau de toiltte spray. It is a shimmering blend of fresh grapefruit and tropical blooms over a sensual breeze of amber and exotic teak wood.  I think both of the perfume suit my personality well.If u think u don't know which perfume suit your personality then try this QUIZ it is very simple.


Differences among cologne, toilette and parfum:

Eau de cologne is a light and refreshing citrus-based scented fragrance. It is a perfume compound in an alcohol or water base. You can find men's and women's cologne, of which men's is more concentrated than women's at 5%-8% concentration of perfume. Women's cologne is a light fragrance with about 3% concentration of perfume compound in an alcohol water base.
Eau de parfum contains 10%-15% perfume concentration and is an alcoholic perfume. Eau de toilette, on the other hand, contains 3%-8% perfume concentration and is an alcohol or water based perfume.

On the whole, perfume is stronger and fuller and lingers longer on the wearer. It also comes in smaller bottles and does not have a spray head, and therefore is more expensive than other perfume variants. Eau de toilette has more alcohol to thin it out and is therefore weaker than other perfume types. Now that you know the differences among these three perfume types, choose the one you want and get ready for the day.


Fragrance notes
Perfume is described in a musical metaphor as having three sets of notes, making the harmonious scent accord. The notes unfold over time, with the immediate impression of the top note leading to the deeper middle notes, and the base notes gradually appearing as the final stage. These notes are created carefully with knowledge of the evaporation process of the perfume.
  • Top notes: The scents that are perceived immediately on application of a perfume. Top notes consist of small, light molecules that evaporate quickly. They form a person's initial impression of a perfume and thus are very important in the selling of a perfume. Also called the head notes.
  • Middle notes: The scent of a perfume that emerges just prior to when the top notes dissipate. The middle note compounds form the "heart" or main body of a perfume and act to mask the often unpleasant initial impression of base notes, which become more pleasant with time. They are also called the heart notes.
  • Base notes: The scent of a perfume that appears close to the departure of the middle notes. The base and middle notes together are the main theme of a perfume. Base notes bring depth and solidity to a perfume. Compounds of this class of scents are typically rich and "deep" and are usually not perceived until 30 minutes after application.
The scents in the top and middle notes are influenced by the base notes, as well the scents of the base notes will be altered by the type of fragrance materials used as middle notes. Manufacturers of perfumes usually publish perfume notes and typically they present it as fragrance pyramid, with the components listed in imaginative and abstract terms.
