what is the difference between eau de toilette and cologne?

The main difference between types of fragrance lies in the concentration of essences. The order of highest to lowest concentration is first Perfume, second, Eau de Parfum, third, Eau de Toilette, and fourth Eau de Cologne. With this said....perfume is going to be more expensive, then Eau de Toilette and lastly cologne. The cologne wont be as strong which people usually prefer in the warmer months and the strongest Eau de Toilette is preferred in the winter. There are people who believe there is no difference other than the cost and that would be an incorrect assumption. Hope that helps....this applies to women fragrances as well.

eau de parfum - "a perfumed liquid containing a percentage of fragrant oils that is lower than that in perfume but greater than that in eau de toilette" - from Merriam WebsterI spoke with a Clinique representative today via their chat feature to confirm that the Happy they sell on their site is also eau de parfum, so I would think you'd be buying the same thing as if you were buying directly from Clinique.

Yes, while both have the same basic smell, the Prada Candy Eau de Parfum is a more sophisticated and longer lasting smell. I actually prefer it.

Eau De Parfume. 8-10%. Which is stronger than EDT which stands for Eau De Toilete. I used to buy this in the Mall here! I just love the convenience & price here!

The box says eau de toilette. In a bottle this size at this price I would say toilette.I love the scent but it can be over powering, use sparingly and it was actually a seasonal scent for me, only in late fall and winter

I believe the perfume has more of the base oil of the scent, whereas the eau de toilette as less.

It says Eau de Parfum spray. Which I found to last longer. I also use the small perfume bottle & the lotion is nice.

Cologne is the term American people use to talk about an Eau de Toilette. Mainly because the first EDT was... Eau de Cologne created in Germany.In Europe Eau de Cologne is still a specific product with it's own smell while in the US it's a generic term.

Totally different colognes, i would recommend Aqua for summers and Legend for the winters.

These are two highly popular colognes. No one can definitively say which is better, its all a matter of opinion. But Im sure you cant go wrong with either of them.

It differs totally, except taht both scents are 'clean' smelling. But for me, the big difference is that the earlier cologne stayed with you a long time. THis doesn't.

I have been using Obsession products for about 5 years. The image I see shows "eau de toilette spray", which is the cologne (which may purchased with or without the spray option). The after shave is labelled "after shave", and I have never seen a bottle of the after shave with the spray option. For what you want, look for "after shave" and the absence of the spray.

This is a cologne. It is very long lasting and I get many compliments. There is a perfume available. I have used this exclusively for over 25 years.

I have purchased cologne online and it is the same that you would find in department stores or places like Sephora for a lot less. I will be ordering cologne again very soon.

The original Bright Crystal is an "eau de toilette", and Bright Crystal Absolu is an "eau de parfum." They both smell pretty much the same; the difference is the "parfum" lasts longer and doesn't dissipate as quickly as a "toilette." "Ea de Parfum" is simply just a more concentrated version of the "toilette," which is why you can spray less "parfum" on for the same effect and it lasts longer. It also smells stronger and you can easily overdue it, with a "parfum" you really only need one or two squirts. This is why "parfum" is more expensive than "toilette."

I am happy with mine but one thing to note is that this IS NOT the cologne. It is the toilette spray and there is a difference. Hope that helps.

The link that was sent to me shows a box marked eau de parfume, so it is neither Cologne nor eau de cologne. From what I know eau de parfume is more concentrated than eau de cologne. White Shoulders comes in both forms, but the eau de parfume is more expensive, because it's more concentrated, so you should use less.
