Best Answer

The time in which scents evaporate has to do with the scent-to-alcohol ratio in a perfume. Eau de toilettes and simple colognes will evaporate quickly because of their high alcohol percentage. 'Eau de parfum' and 'parfum' have a much higher scent content and will evaporate much slower.
