Parfum or extrait, This type of perfume carries the highest concentration of fragrance or essential oil that range from 15% to 40%. . For example if we are to make perfume in 100ml, from 15ml to 40ml will be the total amount of all the fragrance while 85ml to 60ml will be the amount of methanol or ethanol. My last Tutorial on perfume making fall within this category though it was a little bit higher than this because some Fragrance sold commercially have been diluted.
Espirit de Parfum (ESdP): It is slightly closer to the first type with fragrance concentration of 15 - 30%. For example, making a perfume with the 100ml in volume, the measurement of the fragrance will range from 15ml to 30ml while methanol will range from 85ml to 70ml of methanol or ethanol.
Eau de Parfum: Eau de parfum generally has a fragrance concentration of between 15% and 20%. On average, its 15% concentration. Example, fragrance concentration will be between 15ml to 20ml while methanol or ethanol will be between 85ml to 80ml.
Eau de Toilette (EdT): 5–15% of fragrance concentration
Eau de Cologne (EdC), often simply called cologne: 3–8%. it is the least concentrated perfume. it last for very few hours.
