To accurately decide the numerous discrepancies concerning eau de parfum and eau de toilette, I caught up with fragrance and elegance expert Funmi Monet who, in addition to staying a certified therapist, has crafted a substantial social media adhering to (350,000+ on TikTok) on recommendations, methods, and tips for the fragrance fanatic and novice alike. In fact, she is affectionately identified on the application as “your fave fragrance auntie.” She shared that 1 of the principal variations in between eau de parfum and eau de toilette is the perfume oil focus.

“Eau de toilette commonly has a perfume oil focus amongst 8% and 12% though eau de parfum can have a perfume oil concentration among 12% to 18%,” Monet states. In accordance to her, the oil concentration of an eau de parfum or eau toilette should not sway a fragrance amateur a person way or the other, as a better concentration would not necessarily imply the former is ‘better.’ She contributes this to the special composition of fragrances that have different aspects. This, in change, “makes each individual level of intensity applicable to the practical experience of the wearer.”
