There are many types of perfumes in the market. Did you know the difference between each perfume other than its smell and brand before you decide to buy one? Most people buy perfumes based on smell and mostly select among the most popular brand.

Perfumes are differentiated by their fragrance from perfume oils concentration. The concentration determines the strength of the perfume and its lasting power. The higher the concentration of the perfume oil, the longer-lasting will the smell of the perfume is. Below are the various types of perfumes and how it is being differentiated:

1. After-shave. After-shave has the lowest concentration of the perfume oil, containing only about 0.5% to 2.0% of perfume oil. After-shave is ideal for daily use by men to use as a salve after shaving.

2. Next is eau-de-cologne. Eau-de-cologne had about 3.0% to 5.0% of perfume oil concentration. It is mostly used after a bath.

3. Eau-de-toilette had a perfume oil concentration of about 5.0% to 8.0%. It is the most popular as it is obviously stronger than the eau de cologne and its smell stay on much longer. The price of the eau-de-toilette is also much higher than the above two categories.

4. The next higher perfume oil concentration is eau de parfum. It consist perfume oil concentration of about 8.0% to 15.0%. Price for this type of perfume is obviously much expensive compared to the previous three. The fragrance is strong and its effect is long-lasting.

5. The highest quality of perfumes belongs to ‘parfum’.  It is totally undiluted and contains the highest concentration of perfume oil between 15% – 30%. Just one drop of this perfume is enough to leave the fragrance smell long-lasting. However, this type of perfume is very expensive and not many people can afford it.

Those are the 5 basic types of perfumes. Depending on your taste and affordability, it doesn’t matter which one you choose as long as you like the smell and feel great about it. Some people also buy their perfumes online.

Take note, when you buy a perfume bottle most of the cost goes to the packaging, advertising, sales profit and tax. Only a small percentage, actually around ten percent, is dedicated to the costs of the scents.

So why buy when you can make your own perfume. Not only will you be able to save some money but you’ll get a blast from the pursuit of the perfect perfume.

One of the greatest advantages of making your own perfume is that you don’t have to worry about having chemicals and preservatives going onto your skin. Since you’re more likely going to work with natural, you don’t have to worry about the possible effects of synthetic materials on your body.

However, care should still be taken when using various essential oils. Some people might still have particular allergenic reactions to specific types of oils. It is therefore important to know or be familiar with your own body chemistry first before trying experimenting with blending perfumes.

First, let’s differentiate between the various types of perfumes. Basically, a perfume is a mixture of aromatic compounds and diluted in alcohol and water. The amounts of aromatic oils dissolve in a blend determine if it can be called a perfume or a cologne. Arranged from highest concentration of oils to lowest the sequence would be: perfume, eau de parfum, eau de toilette, eau de cologne and body splash.

When we say perfume, the blend of aromatic oils is from 25 to 40%. Eau du parfum, meanwhile, are 15-30% aromatics. Eau du Cologne has even lighter aromatic oil contents. This type of scent usually has around 5-15% aromatic compounds. Toilet water or sometimes referred to as body splash has only 3-5% aromatics. Body splash are ideally used after you take a bath or shower.

When you make your own perfume, you get to choose which solvent you would use to dilute the blend. Available at your disposal are either jojoba or alcohol. Both have distinct differences and benefits. Jojoba is great for perfume blends because it never turns rancid.

When you have created your own perfume blend, it is best that you use the perfume only on your pulse points. Anywhere more and you might overdo the scent. For diluting the blend the traditional way, you use grain alcohol or a high grade proof of vodka. Alcohol makes the blend more volatile. The problem with alcohol is that you have to let the perfume blend evolve. If you don’t the scent will smell more like an alcohol rather than a perfume. Usual proportions of alcohol and perfume blend is about three or four ml of the blend combined with five or 10 drops of alcohol.

Making your own perfume should be fun. Don’t delve too much on the technicality of blending perfumes. Explore and try to make combinations that are unheard off. You never know, the resulting blend might be perfect to your body chemistry.

Scents and fragrances react differently when applied to your body. Choosing one that fits you is like choosing the right color of dress or the right pair of shoes to wear. Perfumes cannot just be worn arbitrarily. The resulting scent might be catastrophic. That’s why you need to experiment more when making your own perfume. Try various combinations of scents until you find the perfect one for you.

I wear a heavy jumper and shirt (school uniform), and t shirt underneath to school, so I’ve decided to start wearing perfume I got as a present to school, so I smell a bit nicer.

I have an eau de parfum 50ml of Passion Flower from the Body Shop:

How do I apply the perfume so the scent lasts all day, isn’t too overpowering and the perfume itself doesn’t get finished off too quick?
