El término “Fragancia” proviene de la palabra “fragante” que significa “un olor agradable y dulce”.    Una fragancia se asocia a un perfume, un eau de parfum, un eau de cologne…. Entonces, ¿cuál es la verdadera diferencia entre estos términos que justifica la diferencia de precio entre unos y otros, más allá de la marca o el diseño del frasco?

En palabras de los expertos, no hay nada absoluto que distinga un perfume caro de uno barato, porque gran parte de lo que nos atrae de una fragancia suele estar ligado a los recuerdos que asociamos con ella.

Otro concepto erróneo muy popular es el de quién lleva qué. Uno de los efectos del marketing moderno es la etiqueta “para hombres” y “para mujeres”. En el mercado de las fragancias, se asocia que los perfumes son para mujeres y las colonias para hombres.

Los perfumes tienen la mayor concentración de fragancia (más del 20% de concentración de aceite), lo que significa que es probable que se note y dure todo el día. En consecuencia, los perfumes también exigen el precio más alto.

Es la siguiente concentración de fragancia más alta. Por término medio, la fragancia puede durar entre cuatro y cinco horas y seguir conteniendo una cantidad muy baja de alcohol para garantizar la tolerancia de la piel.

Eau de parfum vs. eau de toilette: one of the most misunderstood rivalries in the beauty world. Thinking about it without much analysis, it would seem obvious: offering a more concentrated and longer-lasting fragrance, albeit at a higher price, eau de parfum sounds like the winning choice. But is it really? Let’s analyze.

The main difference between an eau de parfum (EDP) and an eau de toilette (EDT) is mainly in its duration and potency. This is due to a difference in fragrance percentages. A perfume marked as an eau de parfum will always be stronger and longer lasting, with approximately 25 percent fragrance, versus 15 percent for eau de toilette.

Despite the intensity, the aromatic profile usually does not change. However, perfumers sometimes make the decision to enhance different notes in each product to amplify different facets. This sometimes puts a twist on the rule, and makes eau de toilettes more intense. So, you really shouldn’t be an EDT or EDP person; rather, you should try both versions to see their different nuances.
