What is the difference between fragrance and perfume?

Many cosmetics used by women have a fragrant smell when you bring them close to your nose. In fact, this is because manufacturers add fragrances to the cosmetics. Cosmetics with fragrances smell better and are more popular with consumers. In addition, in order to make themselves smell better, many people will spray perfume on their bodies. Therefore, both fragrances and perfumes can give people a better smell. So what is the difference between the two?

First, the difference between essence and perfume

In daily life, we often hear about perfume and fragrance, but what is the difference between perfume and fragrance? Many people seem to be confused about this question. Here is some information to help you identify the difference between perfume and fragrance:

Fragrance: (Parfum) The concentration is 15-25%, and the fragrance lasts for 5-7 hours. It is suitable for night out, banquets, and formal occasions.

Perfume: (eau de Parfum) The concentration is 10-15%, and the fragrance lasts for about 5 hours, which is suitable for daytime banquets or going out.

Eau de Toilette: The concentration is 5-10%, and the fragrance lasts for about 3-4 hours. It is suitable for work and daily use.

Eau de Cologne: (edu de Cologne) The concentration is 3-5%, the fragrance lasts about 1-2 hours, and it is usually used after bathing or before exercise.

Perfumes are divided into two types according to the purity level of alcohol and fragrance essence.

The first type: a perfume with high purity and long lasting power, which can last for seven to eight hours after spraying

The second type can only last for one to two hours.

The difference between perfume and fragrance lies in their concentration. The duration of fragrance and the occasions in which they are suitable are different, so you must pay special attention when choosing to use perfume or fragrance. In different social occasions, you need to use perfume or fragrance of different concentrations.

Second, the etiquette of using perfume in daily life:

In the 21st century, people wear perfume as a matter of taste and social etiquette. There are certain rules for using perfume in different occasions. Places where it cannot be used include funerals and visiting the sick. Occasions where it is not necessary include dining with friends and business gatherings.

In addition, perfumes have different effects of boosting spirits or stabilizing moods due to different brands and scents, so the perfumes for daytime and nighttime are different. Perfume can be divided into cool and refreshing types. Smart people should use perfume according to different occasions. You must be aware that using perfume in moderation may lead to bad results, so never overuse it.

Third, how to preserve perfume

Once opened and used, perfume or cologne will only last for three to five years at most, but this is also if it is stored properly. Since the spices used in perfume are quite sensitive to external substances, they must be stored with great care. First of all, they must not be exposed to air, and the lid must be closed after each use. This not only prevents the evaporation of the alcohol component, but also prevents the oxygen in the air from oxidizing the perfume and causing it to deteriorate.

Perfume should not be placed in direct sunlight to avoid changes in fragrance and color due to strong light. The best way is to put the cover back into the box after use each day and put it in a drawer where it is not exposed to sunlight.
