There are many kinds of perfumes on the market, including foreign perfume and joint venture perfume. Perfume is divided into five grades according to the essence content, and there are different labels on logo:
1, Parfum, which is a strong perfume. The essence content is more than 20%, which is the most advanced, the fragrance is lasting and the price is relatively expensive.
2. Eau de Parfum or Parfum de Toilitte (E.D.P for short), the essence content is 65,438+05%, and the price is above the average level.
3. eau de toilette (E.D.T for short) is perfume dew, with essence content of 8%- 15%. It is the most consumed perfume at present, with large capacity, diverse fragrance types and moderate price, which is very popular among consumers.
4. eau de cologne is cologne with essence content of 4%-8%. Most men's perfumes belong to this grade.
5.Eau Fraiche is eau Fraiche, and the essence content is 1%-3%. The shaving water and perfume on the market belong to this grade, which can bring people a refreshing feeling, but the fragrance lasts for a short time.
According to the definition of international perfume evaluation association, Oude washing and care contains sesame oil 12%-20%, and ordinary perfume contains 20%-30%. It lasts for a whole day, but eau de toilette can be used repeatedly or all over the body. From 65438 to 0920, "Guerlain" blended the first eau de toilette that was not diluted by perfume in this century, emitting fresh citrus fragrance. Since then, eau de toilette has been deeply loved by women. In the 1990s, it was preserved and returned to simplicity.

1, Luzhou-flavor perfume, commonly known as Parfum, is the highest-grade perfume with the concentration of 15% ~ 25%, which lasts for 5 ~ 7 hours, with the highest fragrance concentration and the best fragrance quality. The fragrance is lasting and the price is expensive. But it only takes one drop to come in handy. However, most fragrances are only available in women's perfumes, and men's perfumes have less fragrance grades. This grade of perfume is suitable for going out at night or for banquets and formal occasions. In order to show their dignity, many famous brand perfumes are often packed in crystal glass bottles, and the price is also very expensive. Common perfume packaging capacities are: 7.5ml, 10ml, 15ml.
2. perfume (Eau de Parfum, abbreviated as EDP or E/P) is also called fragrance, commonly known as light essence. The concentration 10% ~ 15%, and the fragrance lasts about 5 hours, which is the closest to the essence. Compared with essence, it is relatively economical in quantity and price, which is also the secret of perfume's popularity. Ladies use more perfume. This grade of perfume is suitable for daytime banquets or outings. Perfume lovers often use this grade of perfume, and the common packaging capacity is 30ml and 50ml. At present, most of the international brands sold in China are perfume-grade, so the fragrance lasts for a long time, and the users of this kind are mainly European and American countries. Because of their strong smell, they are mostly used to cover up body odor (such as body odor).
3.Eau de Toiette (abbreviated as EDT or E/T), with a concentration of 5% ~ 10% and a fragrance lasting for 3 ~ 4 hours, is the most popular perfume category in recent years. The change of fragrance is soft and refreshing, which is suitable for office and daily use and users who have just started to contact perfume. This is also the most commonly used perfume grade in China, so it is usually called eau de toilette instead of eau de toilette in China. Common capacities are 30ml, 50ml, 75ml, 100ml. Asians generally don't have body odor, and they are mild, and most of them like this level of perfume.
4. eau de cologne (abbreviated as EDC or E/C). In Europe, most men's perfumes belong to this level, while few women's perfumes belong to this level. So cologne has almost become synonymous with men's perfume. So in China, many people think that cologne means men's perfume, but it is not. The concentration is 3% ~ 5%, the fragrance duration is 1 ~ 2 hours, the main components are alcohol and distilled water, the alcohol concentration used is between 60% and 75%, the perfume concentration is low, and the quantity and price of perfume are the most economical. You can spray it all over your body. It is refreshing and refreshing, suitable for men to use after bathing and before and after exercise. However, because most of the raw materials used in men's perfume are rich in fragrance or lasting, generally speaking, men's cologne can last for about 3 hours. Please note that cologne is not a brand but a perfume grade!
5. Light perfume, also known as Eau Fraiche, has the lowest essence content among all perfume grades, about 1-3%. The fragrance is only about 1 hour, and shaving water and deodorant belong to this grade. This kind of perfume is mostly single fragrance, which is rarely used for spraying or smearing. Individuals use it for spraying toilets or as air fresheners.

When each bottle of perfume introduces the fragrance, it will indicate the front taste, middle taste and back taste; For example, sandalwood is a very lasting fragrance. I didn't think it was special at first, but the longer it took, the more fragrant it became. On the other hand, citrus such as lemon has the opposite fragrance. At first, it gave off a refreshing and attractive fragrance, but later it was not so strong and soon disappeared. As for the fragrance of flowers, most of them belong to China. Therefore, the so-called pre-flavor is the fragrance emitted after the perfume is rubbed for about 10 minutes; It takes 30 to 40 minutes for the intermediate flavor to appear after rubbing, and it takes 30 minutes to 1 hour to smell the fragrance.
Please note that all labels mentioned here are in French, and perfume without labels is not standardized. Perfume produced by regular manufacturers has grade labels.
Meaning of the label: for example, eau de paeum, eau = English meaning of water, DE= English meaning ... and paeum = essence.
The choice of perfume:
1, if there is a sample, spray it on the perfume test paper, wave it gently to dispel the alcohol smell, and then smell it with your nose. Don't put your nose near the test paper, because the perfume will smell very strong just after spraying.
2, when choosing perfume, it is best not to smell more than three kinds of perfume at a time, otherwise it will easily lead to olfactory confusion.
Where perfume is sprayed:
Behind the ear, under the arm, and at the root of the leg, these parts are generally warmer, which can promote the taste of perfume. You can also spray it on your trouser legs if you have the conditions.
It's best not to go out just after wearing perfume, because it will smell very strong, and others will be uncomfortable and disgusted.
If you feel comfortable when choosing a perfume, congratulations, this is the best perfume for you.
