Eaux de Toilette

It's a question many people ask themselves: What's the difference between a eau de toilette and eau de parfum? 

The main difference betweeneau de toilette and eau de parfum lies in their concentration of fragrances or essential oils. eau de toilette generally has a lower concentration, between 5% and 15%, while eau de parfum has a higher concentration, between 15% and 20%, or even more.

Because of their different concentrations, eau de parfum tends to last longer on the skin and smell more intense thaneau de toilette. However, this also depends on the quality of the ingredients used in the perfume's composition.

The choice betweeneau de toilette and eau de parfum depends on your personal preferences and the occasion on which you plan to wear the perfume. The eaux de toilette are often preferred for everyday use or in hot weather, as they are lighter and more refreshing. On the other hand, eaux de parfum are ideal for special occasions or parties, as they last longer and have a more pronounced olfactory intensity.

eaux de toilette are generally composed of the same basic ingredients as perfumes, but in lower concentrations. Their composition can vary depending on the brand and type of fragrance, but here are the main components often found in a eau de toilette Panier des Sens :

• Alcohol: This forms the base of the fragrance and dissolves the other ingredients.
• WaterWater is often added to dilute fragrance and make it lighter.
• Essential oils or perfumesThese are the ingredients that give perfume its characteristic scent. Essential oils can come from a variety of sources, such as flowers, fruits, herbs, spices, etc.
• FixersThese ingredients help stabilize fragrance and make it last longer on the skin. They can be synthetic or natural.
• PreservativesThese are added to prevent deterioration of the fragrance and ensure its longevity.
• Top, middle and base notesAs with all fragrances, eau de toilette is made up of different notes that evolve over time. The top notes are perceived immediately after application, followed by the heart notes, and then the longest-lasting base notes.

These ingredients may vary depending on the perfume creator and the specific formula of each eau de toilette.

In generaleau de toilette is suitable for most skin types. However, some people may be sensitive to certain ingredients in fragrances, which can lead to allergic reactions or skin irritation. Perfumes often contain aromatic compounds, essential oils and other potentially irritating ingredients.

If you have sensitive skin or have had allergic reactions to fragrances in the past, it's a good idea to test the fragrance on a small area of skin first, to see if it causes any adverse reactions.

In addition, people with dry skin may find that fragrances tend to evaporate more quickly from their skin. In this case, applying a light moisturizer before perfume application can help prolong its hold.

Ultimately, your choice of eau de toilette depends on your personal fragrance preferences and your individual tolerance to the ingredients. If you have particular concerns about your skin, it may be wise to consult a dermatologist before using a new fragrance.
