Eau de Toilette

Meaning ‘grooming water’ in French, eau de toilette refers to the scented water used to perfume your body and face. It’s much lighter and fresher than regular perfume, making it ideal for the warmer months, and can last up to 3-4 hours. An eau de toilette should hit the right notes – subtle yet memorable, cool yet vivacious. Not sure which to spritz? Here’s a quick guide to help you find your ideal scent.

Say Oui to the right Eau de Toilette  

1. Looking for inspiration? Think about the kind of smells you like: fresh flowers, scented candles, exotic spices. Use these as a basis to find your ideal eau de toilette.
2. Test before you buy: Spray eau de toilette on your pulse points (behind your ear, on your neck, inside your elbow), and let the scent develop. Your body heat will also diffuse the scent and make it last longer. Be sure not to rub the scent into your wrists, as it can break down molecules and minimise the aroma.
3. Want a stylish workplace fragrance that won’t overwhelm those around you? An eau de toilette is the perfect daytime fragrance, airy enough to feel inviting, yet able to last most of the day.
4. Examine your notes: Since an eau de toilette is light and fresh, the top notes are much richer and the most dominant. These offer an enticing first impression and what initially attracts you to a fragrance’s scent.
5. Mix and match your scents: Eau de toilettes can also be used to complement eau de parfums and other fragrances. Have fun creating the perfect scent!
6. What’s the perfect size for an eau de toilette? A 20-30ml roll-on is great to keep on-the-go, while a 90-100ml bottle will last much longer.
7. Consider the aesthetic appeal of your eau de toilette: Bottle size and shape, as well as material, can add style and sophistication to any bedside or dressing table. It can be a statement piece as well as your statement scent. Why not show it off?
8. Combine different eau de toilette scents: Though a light, soft fragrance, eau de toilettes—like other perfumes for women—come in a variety of fragrances. Combine spice and amber notes to create a sensual mood, or enchanting musk with mellow fruity tones for a flirty, feminine touch. Perfumes with floral notes are also popular, which is perfect for that spring or summer vibe.
