Many people wonder what is the difference between perfume and toilet water. And for some reason everyone believes that the point is the difference in the durability of these funds. According to most people, eau de toilette is somewhat inferior in perfume resistance. In fact, this opinion is erroneous. To date, both of these products are quite popular in the market for both the female half of the population and the male. All perfumery water is created according to the principle of the pyramid, which is based on fragrant substances. They, in turn, are different in their concentration. The more aromatic oils in perfumery, the stronger the aroma will flow, and the longer it will remain on the skin or clothing.
Varieties of aromatic oils in one perfume product can be about 60 pieces. Expensive perfumes, in most cases, use natural oils. In addition, synthetic oils are included in moderation , which quickly weather out. Perfume water, consisting only of natural oils, is a very expensive pleasure. However, it is worth the money. Perfumes of lower price frames are mainly made exclusively from synthetic components. High-quality and real perfumes based on natural aromatic oils will delight you with their depth and lightness of aroma for about 5-6 hours.
If we take, for example, toilet water, we can say that it is divided into some constituent components. First of all, you feel the initial notes when sprayed on the skin or on a paper test strip. After a couple of minutes, you begin to feel the aroma of heavier constituents - these are the so-called heart notes. Within an hour, chords of aromatic base notes come in, which for a long time will delight you with a colorful and playful smell.
Eau de toilette better reveals the essence of the components. Its peculiarity is that it opens the main aromas later than the perfume, and before that it makes you feel only light notes. In toilet water, upper notes are more important, as they are felt first. The presence of aromatic oils in eau de toilette has a very small percentage, studies have shown. Resistance to time is approximately 2 hours.
The structure of the perfume composition, or, as it is popularly called, daytime spirits, is slightly different. Since its basic heart note is a notch higher than in the structure of eau de toilette. When spraying, you immediately feel the deep and basic components, that is, the very note of the heart. This is the main reason for the erroneous opinion that perfume water has a more persistent and enhanced aroma. In daytime perfumes, one of the most important components is the note of the heart. The percentage level of aromatic oils in perfumes most often does not exceed 12-13%. The perceptibility of the perfume product will delight you for about 3-4 hours.
Perfumes, in turn, have a fairly high level of aromatic oils. It is about 20% and conveys a deeper and brighter aroma, as their base note is strongly pronounced.
In this case, the example that is most often considered at special perfume trainings and master classes will be quite appropriate. If you take the same fragrance, but in different versions - perfume, perfume and eau de toilette, and spray them on test strips, you will most likely confuse the perfume with perfumes, as the latter have a sharper aroma and intuitively their concentration seems to be much brighter.
