Almost everyone has heard of or smelt floral perfumes, because nearly all of our grandmothers have worn them at some time.
These labels of perfume types are determined by the type of scent that they create and the ingredients they are created from. A basic floral will be the scent of a flower, a fresh scent will be a citrus or natural smell, and a woody scent is created by using the barks and oils of different woods. A woody oriental has warm, dry woody notes with a hypnotic blend of oriental resins, night-blooming flowers, musks and vanilla.
By understanding these simple breakdowns in the fragrances a person can choose the type of women’s perfume they want and that will blend with their body type to create a tantalizing aroma. Some perfume companies also make a perfume specially designed by you. You can choose the ‘flavors’ and have a unique fragrance, that is only yours.
Types Of Women’s Perfume Strengths
The most basic type of womens perfume strength is a true perfume. A person who wears true perfume will be wearing the strongest concentration of the scent. Perfume is a concentration of aromatic oils that will be at least twenty percent. By using the true perfume a person will have the full essence of the fragrance offering an unmistakable aroma.
Fragrance levels depend on individual skin type and so naturally vary. The levels are guides only:
- Parfum : 15% – 30% strength (lasts up to 6 hours)
- Eau de Parfum EDP : 8% – 15% strength (lasts 3 to 5 hours)
- Eau de Toilette EDT : 4% – 8% strength (lasts 2 to 4 hours)
- Eau de Cologne EDC : 3% – 5% strength (lasts up to 2 hours)
The eau de perfume, eau de toilette, and eau de cologne are all reduced concentrations. These concentrations can be bought in larger quantities for less money making them affordable types of women’s perfume strengths.
