call me stupid. but, why did i just figure this out?
i was having a normal convo about christmas gifts with my girl, and she received "daisy" by marc jacobs. she had mentioned to me that she loved the scent but it doesn't "linger."
and BAM.
it hit me.
like a damn ton of bricks.
i asked her what she meant by that. she then explained the difference between fragrances. and i almost lost it. why had NO ONE told me this before? so i did some research.

eau de parfum vs. eau de toilette.
what you want. why you want it. and what's the best.
eau de parfum: fragrance concentration level, 10%/15%/20%. this strength is preferred by most "upper class and rich households." (i use quotations frankly because i prefer this strength yet i am no where close to the rich and famous.) think michael kors, chanel, burberry. balenciaga. dolce&gabbana. etc. affordable- if you save up some money. or add to your christmas list like i did.

eau de toilette: think- most fragrances found in large department stores such as macy's, khols, etc. price ranges for large bottles are $65-$95 depending on the brand. of the fragrance concentration is usually lower than 10% and does not linger from the skin. the scent can usually ware off within 1-2 hours. EW! which by the way- i thought that was totally norm.
there is much more to the scientific factors of these two different types of fragrance, but i ultimately don't want to bore you- so, what am i wearing do you ask?
michael kors- glam jasmine.. shop here.
