EDT vs EDP: A Beginner's Guide to Choosing Your First STETMN Fragrance

You've found a scent that stops you mid-scroll. But then you see the options: 1.2ml, 15ml, 50ml, 100ml. EDT. EDP. What does it all mean? Let us guide you.

EDT vs EDP: The Essential Difference

The letters after your fragrance name tell you how concentrated the perfume oil is - and that affects how long it lasts, how it evolves on your skin, and what it costs.

Type Concentration Longevity Character
EDT (Eau de Toilette) 5-15% oils 4-6 hours Lighter, fresher, ideal for daily wear
EDP (Eau de Parfum) 15-20% oils 6-10 hours Richer, deeper, more intimate

Neither is "better." They're different moods for different moments.

STETMN's EDT Collection - Built for Everyday Life

Our five Eau de Toilette fragrances are crafted to be worn freely - at work, on the train, at brunch, on a walk. They're sophisticated without being overwhelming. They evolve beautifully throughout the day.

STETMN's EDP - When You Want to Leave a Mark

Blackcurrant Island EDP is our first and only Eau de Parfum - and it was designed to be unforgettable.

Richer concentration means the opening burst is bolder, the dry-down is deeper, and your skin carries it longer. The blackcurrant accord opens bright and tart, then settles into a rose heart and warm musk base that feels like a second skin by evening.

This is the fragrance for first dates, important meetings, or any moment where you want to be present.

Which Size Should You Start With?

Here's our honest advice for first-time STETMN customers:

Start with the 1.2ml Trial ($19.99)

Fragrance smells different on your skin than in the bottle. Temperature, skin chemistry, even your diet can change how a scent evolves. The 1.2ml trial gives you 3-5 wears - enough to know if it's yours. No commitment. Just discovery.

Then Move to 15ml (-)

Once you've found your match, the 15ml size is the perfect everyday carry. Slim, travel-friendly, and enough for months of daily wear. This is what goes in your bag.

Go Full Size When You're Certain (50ml or 100ml)

The 50ml and 100ml bottles are best value per ml and look beautiful on a vanity. Buy the full size when the scent feels like you - not just something you're trying on.

How to Apply Fragrance (and Make It Last)

  1. Apply to pulse points - wrists, neck, inside elbows. Warmth amplifies scent.
  2. Don't rub. Rubbing breaks down the top notes and shortens longevity.
  3. Layer with unscented moisturiser. Scent lasts longer on hydrated skin.
  4. Spray from 15-20cm away for even distribution.
  5. Let it breathe. Don't judge a fragrance in the first 5 minutes - wait for the dry-down.
