The Scale of Aromatic Intensities
Fragrance concentrations refer to the amount of essential oils or aromatic compounds present in a fragrance. Higher fragrance concentrations, such as Parfum and Eau de Parfum, contain more perfume oils and therefore have a stronger scent that lasts longer. These fragrances are often more complex and luxurious while lower concentrations, like Eau de Fraiche, are lighter and more subtle. The most standard classification of fragrances based on the concentration of scent is as follows:
| Name | Eau de Fraiche (EDF) | Eau de Cologne (EDC) | Eau de Toilette (EDT) | Eau de Parfum (EDP) | Parfum |
