What’s the Difference Between Deo & Perfume?

Wearing a deo, perfume, or body splash has become more than just a method to keep body odor away. Having a signature scent adds an entirely new fragrant dimension to your personality. Smelling good can make you feel fresher and more confident. Furthermore, it enhances your mood and leaves a distinct impression on the people around you.

However, many of us struggle to decide the best fragrance for ourselves. And more than just the correct fragrance, we often struggle to decide which is the better option: deo or perfume. Before you can make that choice, let us assess the differences between these two. Once you can select the product you want, selecting your fragrance becomes much easier.

Perfume vs. deodorant: To smell or not to smell?

Among the many types of olfactory products available in the market, perfumes and deo are the most popular. But what exactly is the difference between them? Well, perfumes are essentially concentrated fragrance extracts. Therefore, these are concentrated potions to be applied to your skin and clothes. However, direct application on the skin is recommended only for pulse points like the neck, behind the ears, wrists, and back of the knees.

Perfumes are made of natural aromatic substances that are concentrated in liquid form. One of the most prominent ingredients in perfumes is essential oils. They are mostly available as liquids, and there are three types of perfumes- Eau de Cologne, Eau de Toilette, and Eau de Parfum. They are ranked thus in increasing order of their aromatic concentrations.

What are deodorants?

Also called an antiperspirant, deodorants are fragrant body care products that are applied directly on the skin. It is fragrant but is not made up entirely of aromatic substances. Some antiperspirants are antiperspirants and help prevent body odor.

Many antiperspirants contain alcohol or other solvents in huge amounts. This is to help them be available in both liquid and gaseous forms. In addition, antiperspirants are usually formulated with these to make the skin’s surface acidic, which helps prevent the formation of body odor-causing bacteria.

Antiperspirants can be available in gels, roll-ons, mists, or sticks. They also contain antibacterial substances to help prevent the growth of odor-causing bacteria.

Deos vs. perfumes

The major difference between antiperspirants and perfumes is their intended purpose. Antiperspirants are formulated to keep body odor away, while perfumes are intended to make you smell better. While antiperspirants can help you smell better, perfumes cannot help you keep body odor away.

Another difference between the two is the concentration of fragrant substances in them. Perfumes have aromatics for 15-25% of their volume, while antiperspirants have only 2-3%.

Which is better: antiperspirant or perfume?

Now, let’s address the elephant in the room! The antiperspirant vs. perfume debate has been around for quite some time now. While everyone’s preference decides the best option, antiperspirants generally seem to be a better option. This is because they are a cost-effective method of smelling better and keeping body odor away. 

They are also much gentler on the skin as the concentration of essential oils is much lesser than in perfumes. However, with evolving aromatic science, an antiperspirant with the flair of perfume may be within your reach. This is why so many different classes of perfumed products have evolved over the last few decades in India alone.
