@89135 Yes. Parum is more concentrated or intense. I'm sure someone else will give you a better answer but that's basically it.

Yes, parfum contains a higher concentration of the essential oils used to give it its scent.

from google:

Eau de parfum or EdP is another French phrase that literally means "perfume water". What makes it different from EdT is that it has a higher concentration of fragrance oils, which range from 15-20%. Eau de toilette usually lasts around 2 to 3 hours. Eau de parfum usually lasts around 3 to 5 hours.

That was a good topic.  I knew some of this, but not all.  As I have gotten older, I prefer the lighter versions of fragrance.  I know they don't last as long but they are easier for me to take and don't give me reactions or headaches as much as the higher octanes do - LOL!
