Fragrance abbreviations often denote the concentration of perfume oils in a particular product. Here are the common abbreviations used:
-
Parfum (P) or Perfume (Perf): This refers to the highest concentration of fragrance, typically ranging from 15% to 40%. It's the most potent and long-lasting type.
-
Eau de Parfum (EdP): A high concentration of fragrance oils, usually between 10% to 20%. It's slightly lighter than pure perfume but still long-lasting.
-
Eau de Toilette (EdT): A moderate concentration of fragrance oils, ranging from 5% to 15%. It's lighter and more suitable for everyday wear.
-
Eau de Cologne (EdC) or Cologne: Contains a lower concentration of fragrance oils, around 2% to 5%. It's light and refreshing, often used in casual or warm-weather situations.
-
Eau Fraiche: The lowest concentration of fragrance, typically around 1% to 3%. It's the lightest and doesn't last as long as other formulations.
These abbreviations are often found on perfume bottles or product descriptions and indicate the strength and longevity of the scent.
