Eau de Cologne is a local trademark for "Kölnisch Wasser" Cologne, Germany.
EdC is the term used today to refer to a perfume solution with ~ 3%-5% essential oils in an alcohol and water base.
Eau de Toilette (EdT)
~ 6-10% essential oils in an alcohol and water base.
The differences are simply a matter of the amount or concentration of oils in the fragrance. These oils are called "juice." The highest concentration of "juice" is in perfume (or parfum). Next would be Eau de Parfum, then Eau de Toilette, and finally Eau de Cologne.
After Shave has the least amount of oils. The higher the concentration of "juice" the longer your fragrance will last, and the less you need to apply.
The main difference between a body mist and an eau de toilette is the length of time that the scent lingers on your skin. Generally speaking, an eau de toilette scent will last for a few hours, whereas a body mist's scent will fade after an hour or two.

Eau de toilette is a term that denotes both men's and women's perfume or cologne. The term is French and means "toilet water," but not in the way you would think. In this context, the term was meant to imply freshening up and personal grooming, for a lightly scented cologne or perfume was thought to be a skin refresher.
Well, darling, let me break it down for you. Eau de Parfum has the highest concentration of fragrance oils, making it the longest-lasting and most potent. Eau de Toilette has a lighter concentration, perfect for everyday wear. Eau de Cologne has the lowest concentration, ideal for a subtle, refreshing touch. So, choose your weapon wisely, my friend.
Eau de Toilette is a perfuming agent.
Basically it means toilet water. Not literally though. Its just the french word for "diluted perfume". Most body sprays and splashes are eau de toilette. Eau du perfum is a much stronger concentration then eau du toilette.
Eau de Fraich means fresh water, and that is cologne. Cologne does not have the type of essential oils perfume does, and is not as strong -smelling or long-lasting.
Go to a department store like Macy's. There are three classical strengths for fragrance. Eau de toilette is the lightest, then eau de cologne and finally parfum.(Men's aftershave is eau de toilette strength.) Perfume has a higher concentration of fragrance so it costs enough more you gotta go to an expensive store to get it.
The difference between eau de toilette and perfume is dilution: a perfume contains up to 40 percent essential oil plus 60 percent carrier (normally ethanol plus water) and eau de toilette is 5 to 15 percent essential oil. So...if you want to make a 5-percent eau de toilette out of a 30-percent perfume, mix one part perfume into five parts 100-proof vodka and you'll have it.
The perfume concentration for a vaporisateur spray is typically Eau de Parfum (EDP), which contains between 15-20% perfume oil. This concentration provides a longer-lasting scent compared to Eau de Toilette (EDT) and Eau de Cologne (EDC).
Cologne or after shave. It's name comes from one of the first commercial product aimed at both men and women, "4711", made in Cologne, Germany, and hence called "Water of Cologne" (Eau de Cologne). In France, many cologne-type sprays aimed at men are called "Eau de Toilette", a title that likely would not sell in the USA.
