Todei i curi use my brother's Dior Sauvage EDP and fuuhh the hhnngghh smell last for so long and much more hhnngghh when i sweat. Got complimented by 2 of my passengers when i drive Grab this evening.
I never got people complimented my smell before when i use my usual perfumes bought from Watsons and supermarket punya brands. The only time ive got complimented was this afternoon and that time when i use my dad's Tom Ford tobacco.
Perfumes can be categorized based on their concentration of fragrance oils, which affects their scent strength and longevity. Here are the main types:
### 1. **Parfum (Extrait de Parfum)**
- **Concentration:** 20-30% fragrance oils
- **Longevity:** 6-8 hours or more
- **Characteristics:** Rich and intense scent; a little goes a long way.
### 2. **Eau de Parfum (EDP)**
- **Concentration:** 15-20% fragrance oils
- **Longevity:** 4-8 hours
- **Characteristics:** Stronger than Eau de Toilette; suitable for evening wear.
### 3. **Eau de Toilette (EDT)**
- **Concentration:** 5-15% fragrance oils
- **Longevity:** 3-5 hours
- **Characteristics:** Lighter and more subtle; often used for daytime wear.
### 4. **Eau de Cologne (EDC)**
- **Concentration:** 2-5% fragrance oils
- **Longevity:** 2-4 hours
- **Characteristics:** Fresh and citrusy; often used for a quick refresh.
### 5. **Eau Fraiche**
- **Concentration:** 1-3% fragrance oils
- **Longevity:** 1-3 hours
- **Characteristics:** Very light; mostly water and alcohol; ideal for hot weather.
### Additional Categories
- **Floral, Woody, Oriental, Fresh:** These refer to the scent families rather than the concentration. Each family has its own characteristics and notes.
- **Unisex:** Some perfumes are designed to be worn by any gender, blending notes appealing to both.
### Conclusion
Choosing a perfume type often depends on personal preference, occasion, and the desired intensity of fragrance.
