EDT is a type of perfume also known as Eau de Toilette. The term “Eau de Toilette” is derived from the French term “faire sa toilette”, which refers to the ritual of preparing for the day ahead, from washing up to performing daily beauty rituals and spritzing on your favorite scent.
Eau de Toilette is a mixture of intensely scented oils, alcohol, and a small amount of water. The concentration of an EDT fragrance is between 5% and 15%. The higher the concentration of Eau de Toilette, the longer it will last. EDT perfumes are cheaper than EDP perfumes, so they remain popular for many who want a rich shelf of everyday fragrances.
Typically, Eau de Toilette contains about 10% fragrance oils, which create the unique notes of the scent you choose. Scents are often light and fresh, gradually fading over a few hours. Eau de Toilette creates a great everyday perfume that is not intrusive or distracting. They are fresh and rich in their top notes.
EDT perfumes: how to wear them?
For a perfect scent, the best way to apply Eau de Toilette is to spray it on your clothes, like drawing a small triangle. Spraying from the top of the hair towards the chest and finishing at the bottom of the outer garment is recommended. The key is feeling harmony and choosing the fragrance to improve your day. If the Eau de Toilette you choose is volatile (lower concentration percentage), refreshing yourself with a lovely fragrance during the day can become a pleasant habit.
To choose the right scent, consider how long you want it to last. For example, if you prefer daytime scents or work in an office environment, Eau de Toilette will be more convenient than high-concentration perfumes. It is also advisable to consider your expectations and skin chemistry. As Eau de Toilette reacts differently on everyone's skin, it is essential to test the scent. Eau de Toilette is a refreshing everyday choice, and their composition makes them ideal for layering and wearing during the summer season and in more conservative environments.
