The main differences between cologne and eau de toilette are: different concentrations, different raw materials, different fragrances, and different durations. For example, in terms of concentration and strength, eau de toilette is higher than cologne, which causes its fragrance to last longer. In addition, in terms of raw materials, eau de toilette will have more depth, while cologne will weaken the base fragrance.
What is the difference between cologne and eau de toilette
1) The concentration is different
Eau de Toilette is also called EDT, and its concentration is generally 5-15%. Cologne is called EDC, and its concentration is 3-5%. Because of the different concentrations, their fragrance retention time and fragrance intensity will be different. However, there is no uniform standard for the concentration, so the concentration of different brands of cologne will be different.
2) The fragrance is different
The scent of cologne is light and elegant, it is fresh and sweet, with various changes, but overall the intensity of the scent is not high. The scent of eau de toilette is slightly stronger than that of cologne, but it is weaker than essence and perfume, and the difference with cologne is very, very small, so it is difficult to feel it.
3) Different raw materials
There are also differences in the raw materials used by the two. Generally, the raw materials used in perfume are of good quality and deep, followed by eau de toilette and then perfume. Different brands of cologne will add some fragrance to suppress the fragrance of flowers. If there is a woody feel, then the raw materials will change again.
4) The duration is different
The fragrance retention time of eau de toilette is slightly longer than that of cologne, but this is theoretical. Both of them belong to the weak fragrance retention time. If you want a long fragrance retention time, it is generally recommended to use strong perfume or essence. It is also related to the method of using perfume.
Cologne or Eau de Toilette which lasts the shortest?
If it is the same brand of eau de toilette and cologne, the duration of the cologne is theoretically short, but if it is compared between different brands, there is no standard answer to this question. Besides, everyone sprays perfume differently. If you want to make the perfume last longer, the best way is to spray the perfume in the inner pocket of your clothes, so that it can emit fragrance from the inside out and last for a long time.
Is cologne just for boys?
Cologne is not only for boys, women can also use cologne, it does not distinguish between gender and age, as long as you choose the right perfume and use it properly, you can exude the charm of cologne, but if girls use cologne, generally It is recommended to choose one with orange blossom and lavender fragrance.
