What does EDT, EDP and EDC mean?
When a perfume is manufactured, the purest essence of the fragrance is the perfume oil. The perfume oil is what gives the fragrance its distinctive aroma. The purest form of the fragrance is perfume. Perfume has the highest concentration of perfume oil. Most manufacturers offer diluted forms of the fragrance. These are: 1) Eau de Parfum/Perfume – EDP 2) Eau de Toilette – EDT 3) Eau de Cologne – EDC 4) Body Splashes Each of the above variations of the fragrance has the exact same fragrance as the perfume, except each version is successively weaker than the previous rendition. The more concentrated the fragrance, the more the fragrance costs because you require less of it and it will last longer. Lastly, most fragrances are made in Europe, and with very few exceptions colognes are only available from American manufacturers.
