What is the difference between 'perfume' and 'eau de toilette', if there is one?!

[rekstout]

Perfume is stronger and fuller, the smell tends to last longer - it also tends to come in smaller bottles and not have a spray head. Hence the reason it is more expensive.

[incitatus]

Basically down to dilution. eau de toilette is parfum with more alcohol in it to thin it out, so it is, as stated above, weaker.

After a recent visit to Grasse in Southern France, the home of perfume, I vaguely remember that perfume contains about 20% essence whereas EdT is 5-10%.
