Most often, it’s all because of the type of perfume liquid and the ratio of perfume composition, water, and alcohol.

Parfum (Extrait, PARF) contains a large number of fragrant substances (up to 40%) which explains its high cost. Most often, perfumes are poured into small bottles and cannot be sprayed — all you need to do is to apply a couple of drops to the skin. The scent of the perfume unfolds more slowly but lasts longer.
Eau de parfum, or EDP, contains 15% to 20% of fragrant substances. Eau de parfum has an intensive scent and good durability. Most often, it’s sold in a spray bottle.
Eau de toilette, or EDT, rarely contains more than 10% of fragrant substances and has a slight and unobtrusive aroma, as well as an affordable price. But due to the low concentration of fragrant substances, the scent is not durable, which is why it remains on the skin for no longer than 4 hours.
Eau de Cologne, or EDC, contains 3% to 8% of fragrant substances. That’s why its aroma is even weaker than the aroma of eau de toilette. Also, eau de Cologne has less durability.
Splash contains 1% to 3% of fragrant substances. Its aroma is the least durable and noticeable; it disappears within 1 hour after it has been applied to the skin. But such a product can help out if you need to emphasize the smell of a more persistent product. For example, it can be used after shaving.

Important: It’s necessary to take into account individual characteristics when choosing perfume liquid. For example, a strong smell can trigger an attack in people who suffer from migraines. Therefore, they should pay attention to products with a low content of fragrant substances.
