Perfume Glossary: The Language Of Perfume

Discount PerfumeHave you ever been confused about what the intriguing French words on designer-brand perfumes and colognes? Whether you’re buying something new for yourself or buying a fabulous discount perfume or discount cologne for your significant other— Big Discount Fragrances knows that making the right choice is important, which is why our following blog will give you the inside scoop on understanding perfume jargon.

Perfume Glossary

You may have heard of words such as cologne, parfum, eau de toilette and many more. These are all fragrances that you can wear; however, they all have slight differences which make them different from each other.

Splash
Splash is a perfume fragrance that is designed to be used all over the body and therefore has less of a fragrant content. A splash usually contains more alcohol and water than your average bottle of perfume because it is not meant to be overpowering since it’s meant to be used all over the body.

Eau de cologne
Eau de cologne is another type of fragrance that you’ve probably herd of. It contains a weak concentration of around 3 percent scent in a base made of mainly water.

Eau de toilette
Eau de toilette is a term you’ve no doubt heard before. It is one of the most commonly found fragrances, and the base will be either water or alcohol with a scent ration of around 3 to 8 percent. Generally, Eau de toilette will have a pungent smell that will last for a good deal longer than eau de cologne.

Eau de parfum
Eau de parfum is the French word for perfume. This particular fragrance will has an alcohol base but will contain more scent ingredients. The ratio is usually around 10 to 15 percent.

Parfum
Parfum or perfume by itself generally has an alcohol base with the highest concentration of scent ingredients alongside it. Occasionally it can be noted that there is no difference in scent or fragrance content between eau de toilette and eau de cologne but it is always best to check this.

No matter what type of fragrance your trying to pinpoint, Big Discount Fragrances carries a massive inventory of all your favorite designer discount perfumes and designer-brand discount colognes.
