Parfum vs Toilette

Fragrance beginners often want to know the difference between a parfum and a toilette. This is an excellent question that everyone should know the answer to. In short, the most significant difference is the concentration of the fragrance. As the stronger of the two, a parfum will last much longer. A strong parfum will last around eight hours, while a toilette will last about half that time.

The Choice Between Parfum and Toilette: When and Why

Another commonly asked question is when to wear a parfum over a toilette and vice versa. Many people think it is better because perfume is more potent, but this isn’t always true. One place you might be better off with a toilette is work. You never know if a co-worker may be allergic to a particular note; wearing a toilette can give you an extra boost of confidence while toning your scent.

Splurge

Perfume is one product that is always worth an investment. Because the price tag of a fragrance is directly related to the quality of ingredients used, you are sure to get what you pay for. In addition, be sure to buy from a trusted source. Avoid knockoffs and scams by purchasing your fragrance from Perfumania. We pride ourselves on bringing you excellent quality for the lowest prices possible.

Be Open

Sometimes, people choose their fragrances based on brand name rather than scent. If you go into a store and refuse to smell anything other than Chanel, you will miss out on fantastic scents. Some of the best fragrances are made by up-and-coming designers. Always listen to your fragrance consultant; they will have the best advice on matching scents to your tastes.

Still, have questions on choosing your first fragrance? Leave a comment below, and while you’re at it, check out the Perfumania for all the best deals.
