I think "Parfum" is just French for "perfume".
The terms are a little vague, but in general this list is in approximate order from most concentrated to least concentrated:
- Perfume or Perfume extract/extrait
- Esprit de Parfum
- Eau de Parfum
- Eau de Toilette
- Eau de Cologne / "Perfume Mist"
- Aftershave/Splash
This order is more generally true within a specific "line" than it is across brands.

It is made with around 15% concentrated aromatic compounds. This means scented particles suspended in oil. Better eau de parfum has a higher ratio of ethanol to water. It is more expensive.
