Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette and Perfume Oil: How to Choose
What concentration means
A fragrance label such as Eau de Parfum or Eau de Toilette describes how much perfume oil is blended into the base. Higher concentrations usually smell richer on the skin and are applied with fewer sprays. Exact percentages vary by brand, so ToGiva lists the concentration exactly as the product is described rather than estimating it.
Parfum and Eau de Parfum
Parfum, sometimes called Extrait, is the most concentrated spray style. Eau de Parfum is a popular middle ground for evening wear and colder weather. If you already love a scent in Eau de Toilette, the Eau de Parfum version of the same name is often a different composition, so check the exact title before ordering.

Eau de Toilette is lighter and is a common choice for daytime and warm weather. Eau de Cologne is lighter still. Many men's fragrances are offered in both Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum, and each appears as its own option on the product page.

Perfume oils contain no alcohol spray base and are applied by roll-on or dab. They sit close to the skin. Some oils on ToGiva are inspired-by scents and are not made by the designer they reference; the product title states this.
