Have you ever thought about what changes if you choose an\u00a0Eau de Parfum or Eau de Toilette? Good question! In fact, finding the one that suits you best is a serious matter. Going into a shop with hundreds of bottles and finding\u00a0the perfect fragrance\u00a0among the various\u00a0Eau de Parfum\u00a0or\u00a0Eau de Toilette, the one that doesn&#8217;t clash with the pH of your skin and that fully reflects your nature, can prove to be a really difficult undertaking.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, it is easy to be tempted to try a little bit of everything, going so far as to spray a few too many drops on your wrists and ending up not understanding anything anymore. Today we&#8217;re going to help you with this mini-guide designed specifically to make sure you don&#8217;t make mistakes, in which we&#8217;ll explain\u00a0how to choose a perfume\u00a0taking into account the\u00a0difference\u00a0between\u00a0Eau de Parfum\u00a0and\u00a0Eau de Toilette,\u00a0Parfum\u00a0and\u00a0Eau de Cologne.<\/p>\n<h2>Eau de Parfum: excellent for those looking for an intense and persistent fragrance<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By\u00a0Eau de Parfum\u00a0we mean a blend with a percentage of essence between 15% and 20%*. This formulation gives the fragrance a good intensity and persistence, lasting up to 7 hours on the skin. The Eau de Parfum\u00a0is perfect for people who want to smell their perfume throughout the day, but also to be worn in the evening. Indeed, during its creation, the master perfumer makes the Eau de Parfum\u00a0very seductive by enhancing the floral and fruity notes (the so-called\u00a0heart and base notes).<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eau de Toilette: for those who want to perfume themselves in moderation<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the so-called\u00a0Eau de Toilette, compared to the\u00a0Eau de Parfum, the percentage of essence drops between 12% and 15%*. So, if you&#8217;re choosing between\u00a0Eau de Parfum or Eau de Toilette\u00a0this is what you need to know:\u00a0Eau de Toilettes\u00a0are lighter and less persistent than\u00a0Eau de Parfum\u00a0due to the lower presence of essential oils. Therefore, a fundamental\u00a0difference between Eau de Parfum or Eau de Toilette\u00a0is that the Eau de Toilette\u00a0lasts less on the skin, about 2 or 3 hours.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parfum: for those who love to dare, the most seductive formulation<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then there is the\u00a0Parfum or Perfume, where essential oils fluctuate between 25% and 30%*. It is the type of fragrance that lasts longer on the skin. How long does a perfume last? The\u00a0Parfum\u00a0can last all day by vaporizing even a small amount. Here the base notes are absolutely privileged, making the final result very intense and sensual.<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BzYEPTEo50_\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<div style=\"padding: 16px;\">\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; align-items: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 40px; margin-right: 14px; width: 40px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 100px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 60px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 19% 0;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: block; height: 50px; margin: 0 auto 12px; width: 50px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding-top: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"color: #3897f0; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 550; line-height: 18px;\">Visualizza questo post su Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"padding: 12.5% 0;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: row; margin-bottom: 14px; align-items: center;\">\n<div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(0px) translateY(7px);\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; height: 12.5px; transform: rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px); width: 12.5px; flex-grow: 0; margin-right: 14px; margin-left: 2px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; height: 12.5px; width: 12.5px; transform: translateX(9px) translateY(-18px);\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: 8px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 50%; flex-grow: 0; height: 20px; width: 20px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 2px solid transparent; border-left: 6px solid #f4f4f4; border-bottom: 2px solid transparent; transform: translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg);\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"margin-left: auto;\">\n<div style=\"width: 0px; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-right: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(16px);\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; flex-grow: 0; height: 12px; width: 16px; transform: translateY(-4px);\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"width: 0; height: 0; border-top: 8px solid #F4F4F4; border-left: 8px solid transparent; transform: translateY(-4px) translateX(8px);\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-direction: column; flex-grow: 1; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 24px;\">\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; width: 224px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f4f4f4; border-radius: 4px; flex-grow: 0; height: 14px; width: 144px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0; margin-top: 8px; overflow: hidden; padding: 8px 0 7px; text-align: center; text-overflow: ellipsis; white-space: nowrap;\"><a style=\"color: #c9c8cd; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: 17px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BzYEPTEo50_\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Un post condiviso da Carthusia (@carthusia_profumi)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eau de Cologne or Perfumed Water: for those who want a fragrance for psychophysical well-being, the lightest<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, there is the Eau de Cologne\u00a0or\u00a0Perfumed Water, in which the presence of essential oils drops to 3-5%*. This type of formulation is also often used for clutches on the body, and is suitable for those who favor a sober and sporty style.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusions<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, what is essentially\u00a0the difference between Eau de Parfum and Eau de Toilette? The Eau de Parfum, having a greater quantity of essential oils, is more lasting and intense, while the Eau de Toilette, with a smaller quantity of essence, is lighter and less persistent. Ultimately, the higher the percentage of essential oils, the greater the intensity and persistence of the fragrance.<\/p>\n<p>In general, if you prefer a\u00a0very intense and persistent\u00a0perfume\u00a0that lasts all day long\u00a0you will have to opt for a\u00a0Parfum. If you like a\u00a0slightly\u00a0more sober\u00a0perfume\u00a0without giving up a\u00a0good intensity and persistence\u00a0you should instead think about buying an\u00a0Eau de Parfum, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>This first distinction already helps you to better define the goal when you find yourself inside a perfumery, but also on an online shop like ours! Now that you have cleared up your ideas, you can browse through all our products and look for the one that best suits your needs.<\/p>\n<p>*verified source:\u00a0www.accademiadelprofumo.it<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0edbc2f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0edbc2f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-d736d84\" data-id=\"d736d84\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3cbf35e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3cbf35e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-large\">Enter The Carthusia World trying our Samples! \n<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48d4757 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"48d4757\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-large\">You have the chance to discover your favorite Fragrance of our 18 iconic Eau de Parfum<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-99c22d9 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"99c22d9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carthusia.it\/en\/samples\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">SAMPLES<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you ever wondered\u00a0how to choose the right perfume?
