With Father’s Day just around the corner, you may be considering buying a bottle of perfume for some of the men in your life. Perfume makes a great gift for many reasons. It is beautifully packaged, available in various scents, and will remind the recipient of you every time they wear it. You might also want to check out our list of the Best Musky Perfumes.
However, before we get to the top ten, I want to clarify the difference between perfume, cologne, and everything in between.I had always heard that perfume is for women and cologne is for men. In reality, though, whether something is called a cologne or perfume has to do with the amount of fragrance oil that is diluted in the water and alcohol. It gets its name depending on the concentration. BTW, we also have a list of the best long lasting perfume for women.
- Eau Fraiche (“fresh water”): This is the most diluted version of a fragrance, usually with 1% - 3% of perfume oil mixed with alcohol and water. Eau Fraiche typically lasts less than an hour.
- Cologne (eau de Cologne): This term is used for masculine scents in North America. Colognes are generally light, fresh, and fruity and tend to be composed of 2% - 4% perfume oils in alcohol and water. Colognes typically last for about two hours.
- Toilette (Eau de Toilette): This blend is a light spray with 5% - 15% pure perfume essence dissolved in alcohol. Toilette generally lasts for about three hours.
- Perfume (Eau de Parfum): Historically genderless, this term is used to describe fragrances for both men and women. Eau de Parfum generally contains 15% - 20% pure perfume essence and lasts between five to eight hours.
- Perfume: This term is used to describe fragrances that can be utilized by both men and women. Perfume is the most concentrated and expensive of all fragrance options. Perfume (or parfum) is slightly oilier than all the other classes of fragrances and is composed of 20% - 30% pure perfume essence. A single application can last up to 24 hours.
Okay, so now that we’ve gotten our terminology squared away, we present you with:
