Personal fragrances are classified based on their concentration of aromatic oils. Eau de Cologne (EDC) has a lower concentration compared to Eau de Toilette (EDT) and Eau de Parfum (EDP), influencing their longevity and sillage. Key concepts in fragrance include sillage, which refers to how scent lingers in the air, projection, or how far the aroma travels from the skin, and the dry down phase, where different notes emerge as the fragrance evolves. Experts Carlos Huber and Daniel Patrick Giles provide insights into selecting and understanding these elements.
The fragrance world has distinct categories based on oil concentration: Eau de Cologne (EDC) has a lower concentration, while Eau de Toilette (EDT) and Eau de Parfum (EDP) have higher concentrations, leading to differences in longevity and sillage.
Understanding fragrance is complex, with key terms such as sillage, projection, and dry down, which describe how a scent lingers, radiates, and evolves after application.
