Eau De Toilette vs Eau De Parfum

[CrazyLady]

parfum lasts heaps longer but it is whether you have a signature scent or not.

I have both in J'Dore, and the parfum is stronger, lasts longer, and gives a much more rounded scent.

Parfum will last a lot longer, more than twice in my experience.

I try to buy EDPs wherever possible, they really do last much longer than EDTs and if it's your absolute favourite scent/signature scent, it's well worth the extra expense! To my nose, EDP's are a 'truer' scent, the EDT's smell *almost* identical but there are usually just tiny notes that don't carry through in the watered-down form - most people wouldn't notice at all but it bugs me when I'm used to using an EDP of a certain fragrance and accidentally buy an EDT (or can't find the EDP at any of my usual retailers) and it smells a bit different

If you're just playing with new scents, an EDT would suit you fine. If it's a signature scent or something you really love, it's definitely worth the extra dosh! I have an old scarf that still smells of 'Poison' three or four washes after applying the EDP lol, it's been stored in my drawers for at least three years and I still get a bit of a whiff of it so yes, it DEFINITELY lasts much longer than EDTs

I think EDP is much better value, and lasts more than twice as long in my experience.

Thanks for the feedback!

I've used Clinique Happy for about 10 years! But I deviated last year to Christian Dior Hypnotic Poison (the red bottle), which is EDP. It's so strong though, even one spray lingers forever. What i'm wanting to use next is Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, I think I will go with the EDP, seems like it will be better value for money.
