Understanding Eau De Cologne

Back in 1709, an Italian perfumer, Giovanni Maria Farina, introduced the world to the original Eau De Cologne. This citrus-infused perfume was unveiled in Cologne, Germany. In a letter to his sibling, Jean Baptiste, Giovanni expressed, "The scent evokes memories of an Italian spring dawn, post-rain, with mountain daffodils and orange blossoms in full bloom."

He christened his creation "Eau De Cologne" as a tribute to his newfound residence.

In contemporary fragrance crafting, Eau De Cologne is recognized for its 2-6% strength, making it one of the more delicate perfume concentrations.

Deciphering Eau De Toilette

Eau De Toilette, a French term, translates to "toilet water" in English. A more fitting description would be "refreshing water," historically used to invigorate the skin with a subtle scent.

The nomenclature "Eau De Toilette" has its roots in the term "Toile," a fragrant cloth employed to wipe away morning drowsiness, and "lette," referring to the space where one freshened up. Together, they form the word "toilette."

In today's world, Eau De Toilette is characterized by a concentration typically hovering around 10%, but can range from 5-15%.

Delving into Eau De Parfum

Eau De Parfum, when translated, means "Perfumed Water." It's renowned for being one of the most potent perfume oil concentrations available in mainstream markets. At ItsDitto, our fragrances embrace the strength of Eau De Parfum.

This category of perfume boasts an oil concentration typically between 10-20%, with 15% being the common standard.
