**💫 Eau de Toilette vs Parfum — What's the Real Difference?**
We recently purchased the **Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Parfum** at **Changi Airport**,
and it got us curious. The scent is very familiar—still that fresh, iconic citrusy fragrance we love—but somehow… just a little different. 🌿✨
So what's the deal between **Eau de Toilette (EDT)** and **Parfum**?
🔍 The Main Differences:
🧴 **Concentration of Fragrance Oils:**
* **Eau de Toilette (EDT):** 5–15% fragrance oil
* **Parfum (a.k.a. Eau de Parfum or EDP):** 15–20% or more
Higher concentration = more **intensity**, **depth**, and **longevity**.
🕰️ **Longevity:**
* **EDT** typically lasts 3–5 hours
* **Parfum** can last 6–8+ hours
🌬️ **Scent Profile:**
Even though they share the same fragrance DNA, **Parfum versions often smell warmer or deeper**. Some top notes may be toned down, while base notes last longer and feel more enveloping.
🌊 Our Take on D\&G Light Blue Parfum:
Still that **clean, citrusy, summer-in-Italy vibe** that Light Blue is known for, but with **a slightly softer, more rounded feel**. The **Parfum** version lingers longer and evolves more subtly on the skin.
✈️ Where We Got It:
We picked it up at **Changi Airport**, and the duty-free price made it an even sweeter treat. Perfect as a travel souvenir and a scent that carries memories.
**Same scent family, slightly different personality.**
Whether you're team EDT or Parfum, it really comes down to what fits your skin and your style.
