What is the difference between Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum?

The primary distinction lies in the concentration of fragrance oils, which affects both intensity and longevity. Eau de Toilette typically contains 5-15% fragrance oils, creating a lighter, more subtle scent experience that's perfect for casual, everyday wear. Eau de parfum contains a higher concentration of 15-20% fragrance oils, resulting in a more intense aroma that lasts significantly longer on the skin. EDT offers a refreshing, airy quality that won't overwhelm in close quarters or warm weather, whilst Eau de Parfum provides a more pronounced, long-lasting fragrance experience ideal for special occasions or when you want your scent to make a statement.

How long does an Eau de Toilette scent typically last on the skin?

Most Eau de Toilette fragrances last approximately three to five hours on the skin, though longevity varies based on several factors. Your skin's natural chemistry, pH level, and moisture content all influence how long a scent lingers—fragrances tend to last longer on well-moisturised skin. Environmental conditions like temperature and humidity also play a role, with scents typically fading faster in hot, dry conditions. The specific fragrance composition matters too, as woody and musky base notes like our iconic White Musk tend to persist longer than light, citrusy top notes. For extended wear, consider layering your EDT with matching body care products or reapplying throughout the day.

What is the best way to apply Eau de Toilette to make it last longer?

Apply your Eau de Toilette to pulse points where your skin is naturally warmer, as heat helps diffuse and amplify the fragrance throughout the day. Focus on areas like your wrists, neck, behind your ears, and the inside of your elbows for optimal projection. Moisturise your skin with our body moisturisers before applying fragrance, as scent clings better to hydrated skin and fades more quickly on dry surfaces. Avoid rubbing your wrists together after application, as this breaks down the fragrance molecules and can alter the scent profile. For an enveloping effect, try spraying your EDT into the air and walking through the mist, which distributes fragrance more evenly.

Is Eau de Toilette a good option for everyday wear?

Absolutely! Eau de Toilette is ideal for daily use precisely because of its lighter concentration and subtle projection. EDT won't overwhelm in professional settings, close quarters, or warm weather, making it perfect for the office, casual outings, or active days. The more delicate nature of Eau de Toilette also makes it easier to layer with other scented products like body mists or hair mists without creating a competing fragrance clash. Its lighter intensity means you can refresh your scent throughout the day without it becoming too heavy, and the more accessible price point compared to Eau de Parfum makes regular, generous application more practical.

Can I layer an Eau de Toilette with other scented body products?

Layering is a wonderful way to enhance and extend your Eau de Toilette experience whilst creating a unique, personalised scent signature. Start with a scented body wash or soap, follow with a matching body lotion or butter, then finish with your EDT for maximum longevity and depth. If you're mixing different fragrances, choose complementary scent families—our Full Flowers EDT pairs beautifully with vanilla body butter, whilst citrus fragrances work well with fresh, green notes. You can also layer your Eau de Toilette with unscented products to let the fragrance shine on its own, or experiment with contrasting scents to discover unexpected, delightful combinations that express your individuality.
