The term perfume does indeed indicate a very broad category, but in general, it refers to the strongest of the scents that are made. A typical perfume has three carefully layers or notes, which are actually combination of the different fragrances. The three different fragrances unfold through out the day, starting from the strongest and gradually making its way to the weakest, until it finally disappears. The best of the perfumes designed by the best of the perfumers will have three layers that not only complement each other but also change subtly enough to please everybody around and especially the user.
Cologne is not as long lasting as a perfume but it is stronger in concentration. Colognes are created with only one scent and thus in order to make the scent last stronger, the concentration is higher than what is found in a perfume.
The “Eau de” group includes the eau de Parfum and the eau de toilette. The French terms, if interpreted would mean getting ready or rather the art of getting ready (makeup) as far as “toilette” is concerned. “Eau” simply means water and “parfum” is of curse, perfume. The eau de parfum is not as costly as some other perfumes and it has only a single note which is stronger in concentration than three layer perfumes, but weaker than the colognes.
Eau de toilette is cheaper than the latter, but not as popular as it is less strong and less attractive than the eau de parfum. Carry it in your purse or handbag for a light and pleasant smell whenever you wish, for a short time.
Although not exactly a kind of perfume, lotions and creams too are scented. These are similar to the eau de toilette in their concentration of the perfume oil because they are not meant to overwhelm you with the aroma, rather just do enough to sooth for a small time.
