What’s the difference between eau de parfum and eau de toilette? Well, here’s the deal: The different names indicate the concentration of aromatic compounds (meaning the scented particles suspended in oil) within the solvent (ethanol, water, or most likely a combination of these). Eau de parfum (EDP) typically contains somewhere between 10-20% (depending on the perfume house) aromatic compounds and contains more ethanol than water solvent. Eau de toilette (EDT) contains less aromatic compounds than EDP
This month Tamara Mellon of the 15-year-old Jimmy Choo launches Jimmy Choo Eau de Parfum ($95). Tamara says this “sensual, seductive and mysterious” fragrance is very feminine. It smells fruity/floral because of the orchid, patchouli and toffee notes. It comes in a Murano glass topped with a black and silver cube….along with the hallmark rose color and python detailing on the packaging. (Saks) I’m excited…..
