Perfume and toilettes?

What is the difference between perfume and toilettes. They are both scents, but what do you do with toilettes?


THANKSPerfume and toilettes?
bella d and cabal are right but we don't say ';perfume'; and ';toilettes'; but ';eau de parfum'; or ';eau de toilette';





if you say toilettes to somebody he'll understand toilets , restrooms ^^Perfume and toilettes?
If you ever come to France be very careful as eau de toilette is perfume but toilettes is toilet, as in loo.





Perfume is the strong, heavily scented one, the scent stays on for a long time


Eau de toilette is diluted, the scent is lighter and shorter lived





Depending on your likes and your own sense of smell you wear either one or the other. In France in the old time (40 years ago) eau de toilette was for young ladies and perfume for married women.

Toilette (water) is lighter, more diluted, so it is less expensive.





The opposite is true of true Perfume- it is more concentrated, stronger smelling and usually more expensive.





Good luck and enjoy!
