Perfume to Cologne, What is the Difference?

Perfume is the strongest, most concentrated, long lasting form of fragrance. A single perfume can contain anywhere from 50 to 300 ingredients gathered from around the world.

Toilet water is second in strength to perfume. It contains the same essence, but it is expanded with alcohol to make a lighter, more subtle fragrance.

Cologne is the lightest form of fragrance to be used lavishly without fear of overdoing. Most modern colognes are diluted versions of perfumes, less high compounded with perfume oils than toilet water. The first cologne, created in Cologne, Germany, in the seventeenth century, was a citrus type.

Sachet is concentrated fragrance, longlasting and convenient to use. Available in powder, liquid, cream and tablet forms, it is applied directly to skin like perfume. Perspirations will not wash it away. Since sachets are usually spill proof, they are ideal to tuck in purses and pockets.
