Personal Forms of Fragrance
Below is an excerpt from the TC Fragrance Focus Newsletter written by Jen Hart in Nov 2007:
************
FOR HER
PERFUME — The strongest, longest-lasting fragrance form. Apply at all the pulse points. The heat of the body at these points will assure a well-balanced fragrance application.
EAU DE PARFUM — Found in many of the fine fragrance collections, it assures a long-lasting concentrated application and prepares the skin for the perfume application.
TOILET WATER — Less concentrated than Eau de Parfum.
FOR HIM
COLOGNE — Men’s cologne is usually the most concentrated and lasting form of fragrance, blending natural essential oils and aroma molecules. Like perfume, a fine cologne may contain several hundred different ingredients. Since fragrance rises, it should be splashed or sprayed on the body from the feet up.
AFTERSHAVE — Next in strength to cologne, it is also made of perfume oils in a hydro-alcoholic solution. Created to be applied to the face, there are two forms of After Shave Lotions — one features cooling astringent qualities to heal small nicks and cuts. The other, a relatively new
development in After Shave Lotions, incorporates ingredients which moisturize and smooth the
skin. The scent is formulated to perform for a short time.
