How to Buy Eau de Toilettes
Shopping for a great scent? You'll notice that as you start shopping, you'll see different types of perfumes - eau de toilette, eau de cologne, and so forth, which can make shopping for your perfume a bit confusing. So what exactly is eau de toilette?
Eau de toilette literally means toilet water in French, but don't worry, it's not actually from a toilet! It just refers to the amount of actual essential oils in the product, and in this case, that's typically around 5-10%, making it a lighter option than something like eau de parfum or parfum.
Eau de toilette is a great option if you want to wear something casually to work or in the evening, but don't want something too overpowering - not to mention it is very affordable. Any of the top perfume brands make wonderful eau de toilettes, so check out eau de toilettes from
Yves Saint Laurent, Ralph Lauren,
Chanel, and Giorgio Armani. You can experience the great floral and spicy notes that many of these expensive labels have to offer in their pure perfumes - at a fraction of the cost with an eau de toilette.
There are fantastic eau de toilettes for men too.
Eternity by Calvin Klein is a great example of a fabulously affordable eau de toilette, and anything from the Polo Sport line by Ralph Lauren is surely a must-have. Even Old Spice's eau de toilette spray is a popular scent among many men. Many of these eau de toilettes are available in spray and body splash formats too.
