To me its all the same. The real thing that determines the performance and projection are the types of oils. You can have a 50% concentrated of a citrus fragrance it will perform much more worse than a 10% oriental oud based fragrance. It all really depends on the materials used.
What a neat idea to use milk :D In my experience with more classic fragrances, the pure parfums/extraits have very little sillage but great longevity and depth. Decades ago a fragrance would be launched as an extrait, as an eau de cologne and as an eau de toilette. All of them would have had reasonably good longevity due to ingredients of high quality. In the early 1980s Eau de Parfum (back then called Parfum de Toilette) was "invented" as a new concentration and brands added that sort of concentration to their classics, e.g. Chanel N°5 EdP, which was originally launched as an extrait and as an edc in the 1920s. Those EdPs are usually the ones with monster sillage, while extraits have beautiful depth and silent strength.
Needed this! Will be taking notes when I have time. I work fragrance at a department store and like this information so I can explain it to customers. Thank you!
Great video. I actually get great performance from Dior Homme Cologne - the trick for me is wearing it when it's oppressively hot and/humid. It will last most of the day for me, and it's so refreshing and beautifully made.
Good idea comparing fragrance concentrations to milk. I just started watching your channel, I love the wide variety of videos you have. Very informative. The guests are great, especially Ashley.
I'm so bookmarking this URL to give folks the answer to the "what's the difference?" querry. I love the dairy analogy! 😘 I would have included Eau Homme as 2% (EDC skim, EDT whole, EDPI half & half, Parfum heavy cream!) Little difference between 2% & whole it's just waterier. DHI came first Homme Cologne you showed and I love is 2013 there was an earlier one I tried it Sephora ~2010 meh! Gone now. There is a concentration difference like that then also formulaic differences without percentage shifts. The One EDP accents richer aspects with no oil increase. D&G PH Intenso EDP had a higher fraction of oils but a softer blending of Base notes. Acqua di Gio is another (EDT, Essenza, Absolu then Profumo) good example as is BVLGARI Man in Black (Black Cologne, Essence, EDP original & Black Orient parfum) but it's an ultimate version of MAN (EDT, Extrême & Man in Black). I'm glad to see guys having a greater range (either in volume or focus) in their lines. Great video and Happy New Year!! J xox
Thanks! I bought Doir edt, it works very well on my skin. I been seeing reviews on the edp being beast mode! I may have to give it a try, as I love beast mode fragrances (Nasomatto Black Afgano) my favorite! Thanks again
Thanks Sebastian nice refresher on the percentages and excellent comparison I’m nuts over my mocha breve rich as it is and that’s how I like my scent-eau de parfum gorgeous large and long lasting! I wonder though if they really stick to these levels on some fragrances I hope and wish they would/do
I have a question, sir. How do you find out the fragrance concentration on a perfume? For example, if I had to choose between 2 different brands of eau de parfum, or even 2 different eau de parfum from the same brand, how would I find out which has the highest fragrance concentration?
Great video Sebastian it is very informative especially for someone like myself that is just starting out, and I agree with you, the whole Dior Homme line smells great. Before I was just stuck on Dior Homme Sport, but then I saw one of your videos about Dior Homme Cologne and I discovered a new favorite scent
Excellent topic and great breakdown and explanation. One thing I find weird is, Dior lists Dior Homme Cologne as an EDT on their website, as does Macy's, but sites like Sephora list it as an EDC. We all know it perfoms like an EDC lol.
I checked my bottle it says EDC but I have seen it listed as EDT even with Guerlain L'Homme Ideal Cologne. Odd but was using it to illustrate an example! :)
There is a big chemical factor that is not just the cologne concentration, you can be wearing an EDP with cheap or synthetic components that will be less longer lasting that using a EDT with high quality materials, there are other factors that have to consider when we talking about longevity and sillage in a cologne.
@@ThePerfumeGuy good point. Write up, some few ones that are long lasting like you said, I've met just Savage with the famously "ambroxan". And the others ones that commit the lasting factor.
Shit I own the entire dior homme line and love the cologne but I didn't know it was an edc I thought the cologne was just a name lol I just thought it was an edt 🤔 also you right about the performance between the concentrations, generally speaking its the alcohol the helps diffuse the scent into the air in turn projecting more and the higher the oil concentration the less alcohol giving you more lasting power but less protection, thats all generalized as you said there are exceptions to the rule but great video 👍
I just answered this below. My bottle says Eau De Cologne. I have seen it as both an Eau De Cologne and an Eau De Toilette. I was merely using it as an example to illustrate the differences between the concentrations. :)
@@ThePerfumeGuy ohh sorry I knew what you were doing I wasn't questioning you 🤔 I was merely shocked in myself that I didn't know that, I just assumed it was edt and I should never assume 😂😂 in the end who cares 😂😂 its a great summer scent and it does what its intended purpose well in the high heat 👍
@@ThePerfumeGuy out of sheer curiosity I checked both of my dior homme cologne bottles as I wore dior homme parfum today and had to put the bottle back anyways 😃 and both my big and small bottle of DHC lack any concentration markings anywhere on the bottles or the boxes other than the word cologne in blue so that leads me to believe my assumption was wrong 😂👍👌
So does parfum have less alcohol? Ive noticed on some parfum packages it doesn not have a flammable sign.. so this is why sauvage parfum sits close to the skin? In clothes tho it projects i got a compliment at the pawn shop with it lol the one and only compliment
Yes we are, but it is informative to the people that don't know. I had a man who had quite a collection ask me what the difference was just the other day.
Seb I need your help if you know how Emporio Armani Lui/He smells please suggest me similar smelling niche fragrance or designer but with better performances.
I haven't found anything similar to that I wore that in 1999! If I come across something I will certainly make a video about it. That is long been discontinued now.
I find the extraits don’t project well at all. Edt has better projection. Back in the day edc and edt were monster projectors. Why can’t they do the same today? I have always believed that all these edp and parfums and intense and extreme fragrances of today are all a sham
Always learning something new on your channel 👍😍 Thank you. Very interesting , to know the difference. Love how you compare it to the milk - Brilliant 👍 Money difference as well. It's all up to the person. @maryjeannyc

Baccarat rouge 540 extrait is the GOAT. Don't think I've smelled anything more beautiful in my life. It's art

yes hes one of the best
Thank you Sebastian for the great Informative video
Thanks for the explanation, Sebastian! I'm a visual learner, so it helped alot.

No one can explain this better than you my friend.THANKS. I really like this milk exemples.
This video is so cute to me. You got milk & everything. 😂
Great video! What a cool & creative way to make it easy for people to comprehend.

Nice review spotlight Sebastian.
Good analogy on the concentration of the scents.
Happy new year
Excellent job. Cleared up a lot of questions. I like your milk comparisons.

I’ve got an interest in fragrances as of recent. This is fantastic. Thank you. Subbed.
It is really useful for beginners...👍

From my experience and speaking to perfumers synthetics actually prolong the life of perfumes rather than using all naturals. :)

I think I saw Cologne and figured it was. I know for sure on Guerlain L'Homme Ideal Cologne it does say EDT! :)
Great video. Thanks for sharing ✌🏻
Could you please do a video talking about different fragrance families? (Orientals, chypres etc? That would be very helpful
One day soon! :)
So does parfum have less alcohol? Ive noticed on some parfum packages it doesn not have a flammable sign..
so this is why sauvage parfum sits close to the skin? In clothes tho it projects i got a compliment at the pawn shop with it lol the one and only compliment
Yes most likely it's more perfume oils! :)
Smelling Great Fragrance Reviews thank u Sebastian.
Best of best maaan ....very nice video
This is brilliant!
Where do Nishane's Extrait de Cologne variants fall under?
Technicalities! Haven't thought.
@@ThePerfumeGuy yeah, it's some deep technicalities, Safran and the original Colognise are also dense and oily though on skin
Loads of brands are changing up the names of their concentrations hence Atelier Cologne, Goldfield & Banks etc etc. Can't keep up, LOL!
Lol great video n a great way to explain it to people.
Sweet and informative but we are fragrance people. We should know this stuff
Yes we are, but it is informative to the people that don't know. I had a man who had quite a collection ask me what the difference was just the other day.
Seb I need your help if you know how Emporio Armani Lui/He smells please suggest me similar smelling niche fragrance or designer but with better performances.

What fragrances have a 1-3%
I prefer evaporated milk... condensed milk is too sweet for my skin ;)
No one is talking about evaporated milk or condensed milk. LOL!
Great intro music!!
what about cologne intense?
I got Intense Cedrat Boise Extrait Version
Oh really?
@@ThePerfumeGuy just received yesterday. Renamed to Intense Cedrat Boise. I can send you pictures
Ya send pictures.
I find the extraits don’t project well at all. Edt has better projection. Back in the day edc and edt were monster projectors. Why can’t they do the same today? I have always believed that all these edp and parfums and intense and extreme fragrances of today are all a sham
I agree but Terenzi and Nishane are Extraits and they project massively. But most of the time not!!
Always learning something new on your channel 👍😍 Thank you. Very interesting , to know the difference. Love how you compare it to the milk - Brilliant 👍 Money difference as well. It's all up to the person. @maryjeannyc
