78% to 95% of specially denatured ethyl alcohol with a remainder of essential oils makes the product we call perfume and is also loosely called scent or fragrance.
Products with 22% of essential oils are the costliest form of fragrance and are called Perfumes.
EDP or Eau de Parfum comes next, having between 15 and 22% essential oils. It can last about 4 hours on the wearer.
That's followed by Eau de Toilette (EDT) with 8 to 15% oils, whilst the weaker Eau de Cologne has just 4% essential oils.
The lightest Perfume dilution of fragrance of all is Eau Fraiche with 1 to 3% essential oils and is for those who crave super subtlety.
Choose from the major categories of Floral, Oriental, Floriental, Chypre, Green Marine, Animalic and Fruit (Hesperidia).
Perfumes are easy to buy over the internet and often at a discount, just use a reputable supplier.
