It's a popular choice for those who prefer a subtle presence of their fragrance. Often, Eau de Toilette is also more affordable than Eau de Parfum.

How to make Eau de Toilette last the longest?

• Hydrate your skin. Well-hydrated skin can hold fragrances longer than dry skin, so apply your Eau de Toilette to well-hydrated skin.
• Apply to Pulse Points. Apply Eau de Toilette to pulse points, such as the insides of your wrists, behind the ears, the neck, and the elbows. These warm areas help spread the fragrance better.
• Avoid rubbing. Don't rub your wrists together after applying the perfume. This can break the fragrance molecules, shortening its lifespan.
• Use an unscented moisturizer. Apply an unscented moisturizer before applying the Eau de Toilette. This can help prolong the fragrance.
