Eau de Toilette vs Eau de Parfum: how to choose your signature scent

Eau de Toilette or Eau de Parfum is often the first question when discovering a fragrance.

At Hanae Mori, Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum share the same olfactory composition, expressed at different intensities depending on concentration, which influences the perception of the fragrance, its sillage, and its longevity.

Choosing between the two is about how you want to wear your fragrance: lighter and more refreshing, or richer and more enveloping.

Iconic fragrances such as Butterfly and HM are available in both Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum.

The scent structure remains the same, but the concentration changes the experience:

Eau de Toilette: fresher, lighter, more immediate

Eau de Parfum: deeper, more intense, longer-lasting

Butterfly Eau de Toilette – light and luminous
