Mrs. Estelle Roth of Tropicana Perfume Shoppes, Inc. in St. Thomas, USVI
strongly believes that an educated consumer is always the best
customer. To that end she encourages customers to understand
how to buy perfume:
"PERFUME" - A bottle bearing the designation,
"Perfume"
contains the highest concentration of fragrant essence (that is, the oil
extracted from blossoms and spices) and the lowest concentration
of alcohol. That means that the purchaser receives between 15
an 30 percent fragrance extract.
- "eau de Perfume" contains less essence and more alcohol,
with an essence percentage of between 8 to 15 percent.
- "Eau de Toilette" contains between 4 - 8% essence
- "Eau de Cologne" - 3-5% essence
- "Splash Cologne" - contains 3 percent or less fragrance
essence
