In the fashion context, "fragrance" refers to a scented liquid that is applied to the body, typically on the wrists, neck, or chest, to provide a pleasant smell. Fragrances are often used as a finishing touch to an outfit, and can also be used to evoke a particular mood or feeling. Here are some examples of different types of fragrances:
-
Perfume: A fragrance with a high concentration of essential oils, typically lasting for several hours and applied sparingly.
-
Eau de Parfum: A fragrance with a lower concentration of essential oils than perfume, typically lasting for a few hours and applied more liberally.
-
Eau de Toilette: A fragrance with a lower concentration of essential oils than eau de parfum, typically lasting for a few hours and applied more generously.
-
Cologne: A fragrance with a lower concentration of essential oils than eau de toilette, typically applied more liberally and lasting for a shorter period of time.
