Perfume or Cologne? What Should You Use?

You visited a few times and I would appreciate your thoughts on this post, why not comment?

Chanel History



e has always been something expensive to use throughout history. However, there are now many different types of perfume to choose from in stores and online, with many different price tags. But is buying the cheapest kind really giving you the best deal?

One thing that can make your decision more difficult is that there are always new fragrance products coming out. For example, just a few days ago I came across a product known as a soufflé – basically this was just a fragrant cream. The problem is that there is no set rule in place for how much scent needs to be included in a product for it to be labeled as perfume.

However, there are a few ways that you can stop yourself getting confused. When it comes to any liquid that you apply to your body, perfume is the strongest you can buy. Sometimes the French name ‘parfum’ is used to describe this product, which has the highest percentage of scent of all perfume products.

The truth is that you cannot just use pure scent. It always needs to be mixed with another product. If pure scent was used it is likely it would irritate most types of skin. A fragrance mix is a good way of stabilizing the scent and making it easier to apply. Out of all products, perfume has the highest concentration of the scent compared to those mixing ingredients.

Bottles of perfume are normally small but high in price. Next in line comes Eau de Parfum, which is written in French. This is not as expensive as pure perfume, and the smell is not as powerful. However, this could be the right product for you, and many of the top scents are this kind of perfume. Next is Eau de Toilette, which contains much less scent in comparison to its other ingredients. This means you will need to touch up the scent more often than other perfumes, though some people prefer it for its lighter smell and lower price tag.

The weakest type of the list is cologne. This has the least scent, though it is also the least expensive type of fragrance. It does not last as long or smell as strong as other products, but it can still convey a similar scent. You can simply reapply it if it wears off too quickly. There are also a number of scented creams and lotions, sold under a wide range of different names.

Some of the names of these products include butters, soufflés, sachets and even more. There are no rules as to how much scent these have to include compared to lotion, though you should remember that the scent will last longer if the base is oily. When it comes to buying perfume, your choice will come down to price as well as how strong you want to smell. Whilst parfum is most expensive, it will last for hours where cologne will not.
