You will find that these questions and answers help to answer your question. Perfume is the most expensive followed by the ther two. The difference is in the oils as detailed in the following:





What is the difference between Perfume, Eau de Parfum (EDP), Eau de Toilette (EDT), and Eau de Cologne (EDC)?





The differences are simply a matter of the amount or concentration of oils in the fragrance. These oils are called


Blondes or people with light skin have a tendency towards dry


skin, and fragrances are basically oils that will be absorbed by the skin like moisturizers. To help your fragrance last longer use a matching body lotion or unscented body lotion to apply to pulse points before applying your fragrance.





Why do fragrances smell differently on different people?





Body chemistry, diet and age affect fragrances on their skin. Also, fragrance consists of many essential oils. Certain essential oils have affinity to our skin, and they may be absorbed while other may not. This creates an imbalance on the skin and accounts for the difference.





How should I or where should I apply fragrance?





Fragrance should be applied to pulse points. This is where the blood vessels are closest to the skin giving off more heat and acting like mini fragrance pumps. Pulse points are the wrist, behind the ear, crook of the arm and knee, base of the throat. Also, for long lasting fragrance spray at the ankles, it allows the fragrance to blossom up.





Does perfume need special handling?





Fragrances should be kept away from excessive heat or cold, and to avoid evaporation, the cap must be tightly closed to maintain fragrance integrity. Also, do not expose the fragrance for any length of time to sun light.





Are there other uses for a fragrance other than application to the body?





You can put a few drops of your favorite fragrance in a bath or a few drops in the water when washing your lingerie or spray on artificial flowers.





How long will a fragrance last on me?





Fragrances are designed to last about 4 hours or so. Some people may notice that a particular fragrance lasts all day but by then it will not smell as it's supposed to. You must re-apply once or twice a day.





How long can I keep my fragrance stored?





Fragrances don't last forever. There are certain precautions though that will ensure the quality of the fragrance. Keep the bottle in a dry, dark place. Heat can also destroy a fragrance so keep it from extreme temperatures. Fragrances usually last 3 years from the date they were manufactured.





Is it important to change fragrances according to the different seasons of the year?





Yes, since heat increases the intensity of a fragrance. There are certain fragrances that are more appropriate for summer and other stronger cents that would be better for winter use. A good guideline to follow is to wear lighter scents in the summer and stronger in the winter. Citrus scents are perfect for summer while oriental ones are better for winter.Expensive and cheap perfumes?
The only difference I can tell is the expensive ones last longer (and you're right, price does not make a difference when it comes to fragrance......some expensive perfumes are just overpowering and the smell just seems to linger forever)
Sorry but i would never buy a cheap perfume, they smell like sh!t and you can tell they are cheap!!!
Well, concentration is a key factor in price.





For an eau de toliette, the fragrance is diluted, thus making it less expensive than a parfume, which is higher in concentration.
i'm pretty sure is the brand name.
sometimes the cheep perfumes start to smell funny after awhile on you. And it definatley doesn't last as long
expensive perfume cost more because it last longer and took more effort to make the cheap one smell more like alcohol and last for few minutes.
i think the cheaper ones have more water in them than fragrance thus making the smell not last 2 long, while the expensive ones last much much longer
