Perfume Guide - Perfume House C - Chantal Thomass

Chantal Thomass has been designing undergarnments since 1967, and is world renowned as an innovator in the world of lingerie. Her approach to Lingerie design is similar to her approach to fragrances, as each is refined and original, yet exquisitely crafted. Her fragrances are an extension of her claim to fame, as she is also known for introducing lingerie as an indispensable part of the contemporary woman's wardrobe inventing the style "Dessous Dessus" (Underwear used as Outerwear) and are meant to empower women in and out of the bedroom.

Perfume
This is the extract or extrait of a fragrance and represents the scent in its purest form. This often creates a smooth and round texture, which is hard to achieve with the dilution represented in the other concentrations of fragrance.
EDP
Eau de Parfum or EDP is one of the most popular forms of fragrance. Eau de Parfum contains between seven to fourteen per cent of fragrance oils and perfume elixirs and is the second strongest, and longest lasting means of wearing a fine fragrance.
EDT
Eau de Toilette or EDT is fast becoming the most common means of wearing a fragrance or perfume. EDT’s are not as highly concentrated in oils and elixirs as an EDP or Perfume would be and contain one to three per cent of fragrance oils. This impacts the ability of the fragrance to last and around eighty percent of the oils in an EDT fragrance will evaporate within three hours of application.
EDC
Eau de Cologne’s or EDC’s were first popularised by Napoleon. These fragrances are often constructed in a different manner to the traditional French Model and are formulated in one single burst. As a result of this process, EDC’s or Eau de Colognes last the least amount of time on the skin and can dissolve within a couple of hours. EDC’s should be worn as a invigorating spray.
