In the world of perfumery, there are not only thousands of aromas, but also different types of fragrances: cologne, perfume, eau de toilette and eau de parfum. Although their names are surely familiar to you, you may not know how they differ or you may even think that they are the same. But they are not very similar! At DIVAIN we want to make things easier for you, and that's why we want to explain the difference between perfume, cologne and eau de toilette so that you can choose the one that best suits your needs at any given time. Take note! DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EAU DE TOILETTE, EAU DE PARFUM AND PERFUME Let's start by pointing out the differences between eau de toilette, eau de parfum (EDP) and perfume , because this is undoubtedly the million-dollar question in the world of perfumery. And it's normal, because these three formats are the most widespread on the market. Let's see exactly what each of them consists of. TOILET WATER The formula known as eau de toilette or cologne has a concentration of between 8 and 15% essential oil diluted in ethyl alcohol. Having a relatively low concentration of essence, its price is much lower than that of EDP while having a similar performance. Among its most striking characteristics are that its aromas are usually citrus and fresh, since its main objective is to create that feeling of freshness that remains after a bath in icy waters. It is a very widespread format because it is very economical, and it is sold mainly in pharmacies and supermarkets. An example is DIVAIN-159 , Acqua di Gio by Armani . EAU DE PARFUM Eau de parfum (EDP) is the middle ground between eau de toilette and perfume, as its concentration is between 16-18% of essence diluted in water and alcohol , which makes the fragrance last much longer, up to 6 hours . This type of format is the ideal alternative to perfumes , as they are much cheaper but have a very acceptable intensity . This fragrance is a good alternative for those looking for a perfume that is long-lasting but cheap, as it has a solution of water and alcohol plus essential oils that reduces its price. An example of EDP is our DIVAIN-106 . For men, some of the best eau de parfum brands that we can find on the market are Armani , Creed or Calvin Klein . As for the women's market, brands such as Lancôme or Dior stand out . PERFUME Perfume is the pinnacle of the world of perfumery . The authentic one, since the rest of the formats we discuss are derived from it. Its origin dates back to the time of the Romans, when they used them to hide the strong smell of their bodies caused by lack of bathing. The fragrance's fragrances reach a concentration of essential oil of no less than 20 to 30% , which makes it have the longest-lasting and most intense hold on the market. In addition, the essence is diluted in less alcohol, which considerably reduces the negative effects on sensitive skin. There are currently very exclusive perfume brands specialising in niche perfumes , both for men and women. They are clear examples of this, as they produce perfumes of excellent quality and with a completely unique delicacy and aromatic composition. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COLOGNE AND EAU DE TOILETTE (OR EAU DE COLOGNE) It's easy to think that they are the same thing, but cologne and eau de cologne are very, very different. The percentage of concentration of the essence varies greatly between them. Invented in the German city that bears its name, this composition stands out for having one of the lowest concentrations of essential oils on the market, with a proportion of 1% to 8% depending on the brand. This essential oil is diluted in ethyl alcohol (ethanol), thus creating rapid volatility and a short impregnation duration. Its scents tend to be fresh, due to the use of citrus oils. As you can see, the cologne is a super light format , making it the perfect companion for sleeping or for use in the summer when the heat never lets up. Eau de toilette is also light and fresh , but it has a great advantage over cologne: it lasts much longer, since, as we have mentioned before, its concentration ranges between 8 and 15% . Its aroma can remain on your skin for up to three hours . And don't worry, because if you are in love with the scent of a perfume but you can't spend a lot of money, it is quite likely that it has its version in both eau de parfum and eau de toilette. Although the best option is always to take a look at our catalog of imitation perfumes . That way you are sure to get your favorite perfume at the best price!

When you discover a scent, it is inevitable that it will provoke a sensation in you or remind you of someone. A perfume evokes moments, places, people or so many sensations that it is impossible to describe what it suggests to you. That's why today we're starting to explain to you what our olfactory families are and what fragrances belong to each one of them. So, the next time you choose a perfume, you'll be very clear about what sensation you want to leave on whoever captures your scent. What are olfactory families? The classification of perfumes by olfactory family was proposed by perfumers in the 20th century, with the aim of being able to classify (or at least try to) the great multitude of aromas that exist in the world of perfumery. This makes it much easier to get an idea of ​​what a perfume smells like and which ones may be similar to it, something tremendously useful for the user. Nowadays there is no single universally accepted classification, as this world is full of nuances and it is often very difficult to pigeonhole a fragrance into a single family, but it is a very valuable and approximate guide. Types of olfactory families that exist Let's see what the different types of olfactory families that exist are and which ones you can find in our extensive catalog of equivalent perfumes . AQUATIC OLFACTORY FAMILY The aquatic olfactory family includes those fresh, light aromas that smell clean and like good weather. Its personality comes from a synthetic essence called Calone, which gives it the perfect marine touch for hot days. An example of this is DIVAIN-206 , a perfume equivalent to Davidoff's Cool Water for men. See all our perfumes from the Aquatic Olfactory Family OLFACTORY FAMILY MUSK The aromas that characterize the musk olfactory family have traditionally been associated with seduction and sensuality. They are pure, powerful and elegant fragrances, perfect for enhancing magnetism and femininity or masculinity, since musk (the base component of this olfactory family) is used in both masculine and feminine fragrances, as it gives body and intensifies the aroma of any perfume. Does it appeal to you, right? Well, you have to try DIVAIN-576 , a perfume equivalent toMolecule 01 by Escentric Molecules . See all our perfumes from the Musk Olfactory Family WOODY OLFACTORY FAMILY The woody olfactory family includes very intense and characterful perfumes, those that intoxicate and leave a mark. It is widely used in masculine aromas, although it is beginning to be used more and more in feminine fragrances. They range from the intensity of cedar or patchouli to the freshness of pine and bamboo. We have many woody perfumes in our catalog, among which we highlight, DIVAIN-501 , a perfume equivalent to Idole by Armani for women and DIVAIN-015 , a perfume equivalent to Only the Brave by Diesel for men. See all our perfumes from the Woody Olfactory Family OLFACTORY FAMILY CHYPRE The chypre olfactory family is an intense and very individual olfactory family. It includes various aromas, ranging from patchouli to moss, flowers, amber and musk. These are perfumes with character and a lot of personality, only suitable for very self-confident men and women. If you want to try this curious and delicious olfactory family, we suggest DIVAIN-574 , equivalent to Paloma Picasso for women and DIVAIN-270 , equivalent to Lui de Rochas for men. See all our perfumes from the Chypre Olfactory Family CITRUS OLFACTORY FAMILY It hardly needs an explanation, right? Lemon, orange, bergamot, grapefruit or lime… Fresh, cheerful and young aromas that take you straight to summer. Perfect for those days when the heat is on or when you need a shot of energy. Ideal for people of all ages and sexes. And for the little ones too! A couple of examples are DIVAIN-139 , a perfume equivalent to Ô de Lancôme for women and DIVAIN-038 , equivalent to Light Blue for men. See all our perfumes from the Citrus Olfactory Family OLFACTORY FAMILY LEATHER The leather olfactory family is one of the most unique but also one of the oldest in the world of perfumery. They are soft perfumes, with aromas of wood, moss and smoke. Tones of birch, coffee or dried fruit create subtle but memorable masculine fragrances, suitable for almost any occasion. A clear example of this? DIVAIN-221 , a perfume equivalent to Valentino's Uomo for men. See all our perfumes from the Leather Olfactory Family SPICY OLFACTORY FAMILY Perfumes from the spicy olfactory family are bold and spicy, with an oriental touch. They are a spark of energy, a vitality jumpstart. They often contain spicy notes, such as cinnamon, pepper or cardamom. Are you planning an intense night of seduction? Then take note because these fragrances are ideal for it: for women, DIVAIN-501 , a perfume similar to Armani's Idole and DIVAIN-266. See all our perfumes from the Spicy Olfactory Family FLORAL OLFACTORY FAMILY It is the largest olfactory family and the most popular, because they are the most typical aromas in perfumery. These are romantic fragrances, simple but not plain, like DIVAIN-502, the perfume equivalent to Parisienne by Yves Saint Laurent . Although there are more and more men who dare to highlight their masculinity with a touch of romanticism, using perfumes like DIVAIN-231, similar to Man de Loewe . See all our perfumes from the Floral Olfactory Family FOUGÉRE OLFACTORY FAMILY Fougère means fern in French, so these fragrances are those that try to reproduce the strong, fresh and natural essence of the forests, with essences reminiscent of moss, wood, bergamot or lavender. The fougère olfactory family is perfect for men who exude vitality and strength, we recommend DIVAIN-014 , a perfume similar to Fuel For Life Home by Diesel or DIVAIN-264 , similar to Polo by Ralph Laurent . See all our perfumes from the Fougère Olfactory Family FRUITY OLFACTORY FAMILY Perfumes in the fruity olfactory family are mostly feminine, with a wide presence of fruity tones, but excluding citrus. If you like sweet fragrances, you have found your right family. Depending on the predominant fruit, they can be sweet aromas, such as DIVAIN-194 , a perfume similar to Cherry in the Air by Escada (with a scent of cherry and raspberry), or fresher in the style of DIVAIN-176 , similar to Taj Sunset by Escada (with notes of mango, coconut and water lily). See all our perfumes from the Fruity Olfactory Family ORIENTAL OLFACTORY FAMILY The aromas of the oriental olfactory family are, evidently, sweet, exotic and intense aromas that transport us to the most beautiful landscapes of the Far East, thanks to the continuous presence of ingredients such as vanilla, myrrh or benzoin. They are ideal for sophisticated, elegant people, with a marked sensuality and innate magnetism. The perfect example is Opium by Yves Saint Laurent for women ( DIVAIN-115 ) and Opium for men ( DIVAIN-045 ). Who can resist them? In our honest opinion, no one. See all our perfumes from the Oriental Olfactory Family VANILLA OLFACTORY FAMILY The vanilla scent has been appreciated by all cultures and is widely used in perfumery for its sweet and warm touch. It is completely delicious and relaxes and calms the moment you smell it. The fragrances of the vanilla olfactory family are characterized by being the most classic but that maintain all their validity with more current mixtures, such as DIVAIN-561 , a perfume similar to L by Lolita Lempicka, ideal for the most flirtatious and feminine women. See all our perfumes from the Vanilla Olfactory Family  Now that you know all the olfactory families, which one do your favourite fragrances belong to? And if you choose several... When do you prefer to use each one? Don't settle for trying just one olfactory family! Open your mind and explore this fascinating world, the world of perfumery.

Raise your hand if you can get by with just one fragrance. If you only use one perfume for all kinds of situations and events; whether it's going out to dinner, for work, or to relax after a good shower. In short, raise your hand if you aspire to always wear the same scent. Correct us if we're wrong, but we don't know anyone. The world of perfumery is vast and full of extraordinary nuances , so having only one perfume on your dressing table is making your life much more boring. And the thing is that a scent evokes memories and helps us enhance our moods . And these are many and varied, right? If you are one of those who think like us and you love having a lot of aromas to accompany the different moments of your life, you have to introduce the equivalent perfumes into your life, no matter what. What are equivalent perfumes? These perfumes are inspired by the aromas of the original fragrances of the major brands. The raw materials and essential oils used in the elaboration of the best equivalent perfumes are very similar to those of the originals, which is why they are so similar, awakening the same sensations in us. These fragrances are much more economical since they do not have to assume the costs that big brands incur in advertising, packaging and design. But importantly, they are not counterfeits or illegal copies, they are simply inspired by the original scents and create their own. There is no patent on the original scents, so equivalent perfumes can be marketed as long as they use their own brands and packaging different from the original. Like when low-cost brands are inspired by the designs of high fashion brands like Balmain to incorporate similar elements in their designs. Benefits of using equivalent perfumes Equivalent fragrances are sweeping the market, and it is not by chance, it is because they have more than earned it. If you don't believe it, look, these are some of the most notable benefits of using equivalent perfumery. They are much cheaper . As we have already mentioned, since they do not have to incur large expenses in packaging, design and advertising, equivalent perfumes usually have a much lower price than brand perfumes. In most cases, they have a price almost ten times lower, and even more if they are equivalent to niche or designer perfumes. Equivalent perfumes democratize the world of perfume. The ingredients of the best equivalent perfumes are also of exceptional quality and many of them are synthetic, so they are vegan and environmentally friendly, collaborating with the responsible use of the natural resources that our planet provides us. In addition, these ingredients are much cheaper and perfectly imitate the exclusive ingredients used in brand perfumes. Of course, it is more striking to say that a perfume is made from flowers that only grow in the jungles of Indonesia, but in the end, the smell is practically the same. In many cases, only an experienced perfumer could recognize an equivalent perfume from one that is not. And here comes the most important advantage of all. Since they are much cheaper, for the same price you can buy many more perfumes , so you can use a different aroma for each occasion . Do you have a special date?

Nothing lasts forever. And sadly, neither do perfumes. Because yes, even if you've never questioned it, perfumes have an expiration date . As we know that this is a fairly unknown issue, today we are going to delve a little deeper into the subject and give you a series of tips to extend its useful life . WHY DO PERFUMES EXPIRE? Although a quality perfume can last for years (normally it remains intact for one to three years) it is not a product that remains completely unaltered over time since its components are affected by the weather conditions to which it is exposed. So yes, perfumes do expire . Thus, changes in temperature, light, humidity and excess oxygenation can cause it to oxidise and even evaporate , and its aroma can lose its initial intensity. Heat and light are the two factors that affect them the most. HOW TO KNOW IF A PERFUME IS EXPIRED? How to tell if a perfume has expired is quite simple to find out . One of the easiest and most intuitive ways to find out is to look at its color . If it has become much darker and takes on a rum-like hue, it is likely to have oxidized and, therefore, expired. If you can't see the colour properly because it was already dark or because the bottle is opaque, don't worry, your sense of smell is your best ally to find out. Perfumes that have expired are very easy to identify, since the fragrance loses its aroma , feels much less intense and can even smell like alcohol ; which means that a large part of its composition has evaporated. TIPS TO MAKE PERFUMES LAST LONGER If you are a perfume fanatic (like us) and you have a lot of them on your dressing table, don't worry, because here are a series of foolproof tips to make your favorite perfume last much longer . Although perfumes expire , if you keep them in these conditions, they can last for years in perfect condition. KEEP THEM AWAY FROM LIGHT One of the factors that most spoil perfumes is direct sunlight , as this can break down some of the molecules of their components, thus accelerating their oxidation. Therefore, it is best to store them in their original packaging, in a drawer or a cupboard . And if you don't have room in any of them, make sure it is in a nook where the light does not shine. COOL AND DRY PLACE Temperature changes and humidity are not good for perfumes, so the bathroom is not a suitable place to store them. Also avoid places that are too hot, as heat causes the formula to change and some essences to evaporate. TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ITS COMPOSITION If you are one of those who has a perfume for every occasion and you spend very little of each one, it is advisable that you choose perfumes whose components are more long-lasting . Not all notes last the same way, for example, fragrances with citrus notes , those with a lot of patchouli or those from the Chypre olfactory family are louder and tend to oxidize more quickly . On the other hand, perfumes that contain notes of incense or resins last longer . In addition, perfumes with a high concentration of alcohol last longer , while those with oily or natural bases expire more quickly. AVOID MOVING THEM EXCESSIVELY We know that, as a true perfume fanatic, you like to carry them everywhere so you can spray them whenever you want. Of course, choose a dispenser in which you can put a small amount of the fragrance and leave the original bottle intact and in the same place, since sudden or constant movements (such as those that can occur when they are in a bag or briefcase) cause the molecules to shake and the formulas to be damaged. We hope that this series of tips will help you to ensure that your favourite DIVAINs last for years and years and accompany you in the best moments.

The aroma of each fragrance evokes feelings or sensations that, as a general rule, make it more appealing to a type of person depending on their tastes or age. Above all, the latter. Young girls usually prefer aromas full of life that accompany them and give them energy so they don't stop all day long.

And coincidentally, she is the ambassador of Libre by Yves Saint Laurent (DIVAIN-602).
