In particular, perfume water contains a larger amount of essential oil, about 15%. While toilet water contains only 8%, followed by the waters of Cologne, which only reveal 5%. That is why the fragrance waters, which are much more expensive, are more intense and last about 5 hours. Unlike lighter toilet water, which lasts only about 3 hours.
In addition, when choosing your perfume, you should not forget that citrus notes (such as lime, orange) tend to fade more quickly. While woody notes (such as cedar, vetiver, bamboo...) or other amber and musky notes (used as background notes) hold much longer. It is therefore important to know the composition of each fragrance in order to better define its longevity on the skin.
