Caron
Perfume Guide - Perfume House C - Caron

Founded in 1904 by Ernest Daltroff, Parfums Caron has a rich heritage of fragrance making and remains a true fragrance house in the historical sense. Caron uses rare floral extracts and exotic natural essences to create perfumes that are internationally recognised and leaders in the field of quality and originality. Encased in the most luxurious flacons, with delicate details such as grosgrain ribbon and gold braiding, the perfumes are truly luxurious, a treasure to wear, look at and behold. For the eau de toilette Caron classics, the bottles pay homage to the original 30's design, and are topped with gold plated caps.

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.
