Perfume is the costliest form of fragrance with 22% of essential oils. eau de Parfum (EDP), comes next with between 15 and 22% essential oils.
That's followed by Eau de Toilette (EDT) with 8 to 15% oils.
The weaker Eau de Cologne has just 4% essential oils.
For those who crave super subtlety Eau Fraiche with 1 to 3% essential oils, is the lightest dilution of fragrance.Many new perfumes are promoted as EDPs and an EDT is not always produced as there has been a vogue for Eau de Parfum as individuals want a more lasting signature.

After discussing several options with my family and advisers to either stay here at Madrid or join other major British and European clubs, I have decided to join the Los Angeles Galaxy and play in the MLS from August this year.”

| | Skindecent vs. Skindazzles | | Help me decide where to place my next etailer order by telling me which company you like better, Skindecent or Skindazzles. These are the orders I'm choosing between:Skindecent- peppermint/spearmint massage bar, blue bubbles bubble bar, totally twisted peppermint milk bomb, pink carnation body butter, pink carnation eau de parfumSkindazzles- 2 spicy carnation bath bombs, 2 rosemary mint shea boom bath candies, 100g candy cane soap, spicy carnation whipped body frosting, spicy carnation eau de parfum spray, roll on perfume trio (in blackberry bubbles, champagne, and minty vanilla)Both orders come out to the same price, it's so hard to decide! If anyone's tried both, which did you like better? Do their pink carnation and spicy carnation scents really smell like Lush's potion? Carnation like in potion and anything with mint are two of my favourite scents. | |

| | Now you can wear Danielle Steel while you read her! | | Danielle Stell has her own fragrance! Called "Danielle" and packaged in a distinct pink and black lace design with a sleek bottle, this costs £25 for 30ml eau de parfum.Ms Steel likes the bottle, which she said in an article was clean, sleek, elegant and simple but to be honest I don't find it feminine enough for my dressing table. Ideal for my handbag (purse) yes, but never the dressing table.What do you think of this new product? | |
