What is the difference between EDP and EDT?
EDP (Eau de Parfum, roughly 15 to 20% fragrance oils) lasts 5 to 8 hours with stronger projection. EDT (Eau de Toilette, roughly 8 to 12%) is lighter and lasts 3 to 5 hours.
How long will a fragrance last on skin?
Typically 5 to 8 hours for an Eau de Parfum and 8 to 12 hours or more for a parfum. Amber, musk, and woody base notes last longest, and moisturized skin holds fragrance longer.
How should I apply fragrance?
Spray 2 to 4 times on pulse points such as the inner wrists, neck, and behind the ears. Avoid rubbing your wrists together, which breaks the top notes.
What are top, heart, and base notes?
Top notes are the first impression in the opening 15 minutes, heart notes form the core from about 30 minutes to 3 hours, and base notes linger longest, beyond 3 hours.
How do I choose the right scent?
