Eau de toilette or toilet water is a lightly scented cologne used as a skin freshener.〔(The Free Dictionary definition )〕〔(MacMillan Dictionary )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Definition of “toilet water” )〕 It also referred to as "aromatic waters" and has a high alcohol content.〔Cristiani, p. 117〕 It is usually applied directly to the skin after bathing or shaving.〔(toilet water term meaning )〕〔(Distinguishing Colognes, Perfumes, Scents, & Toilet Waters )〕 It was originally composed of alcohol and various volatile oils.〔Cox, p. 118〕 Traditionally these products were named after a principal ingredient; some being geranium water, lavender water, lilac water, violet water, spirit of myrcia and 'eau de Bretfeld'.〔Ebert, p. 304〕 Because of this, eau de toilette was sometimes referred to as "flower water".〔Lawless, p. 39〕 In modern perfumery, the term eau de toilette is generally used to describe the concentration of fragrance, with eau de toilette being weaker than Eau de Parfum and stronger than eau de cologne. == Types == Eau de toilette is a weaker concentration of fragrance than pure perfume.〔Baker, p. 262〕〔Fettner, p. 102〕 The concentration of aromatic ingredients is typically as follows (ascending concentration): * Splash and After shave: 1-3% aromatic compounds * Eau de Cologne (EdC): Citrus type perfumes with about 2–6% perfume concentrate aromatic compounds〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/125986/cologne )〕 * Eau de Toilette (EdT): 5-15% (typical ~10%) aromatic compounds * Eau de Parfum (EdP), Parfum de Toilette (PdT): 10-20% (typical ~15%) aromatic compounds. Sometimes listed as "eau de perfume" or "millésime". * Perfume extract (Extrait): 15-40% (IFRA: typical 20%) aromatic compounds Perfume oils are often diluted with a solvent, though this is not always the case, and its necessity is disputed. By far the most common solvent for perfume oil dilution is ethanol or a mixture of ethanol and water. Perfume has a mixture of about 10-20% perfume oils mixed with alcohol (acting as a diffusing agent delivering the fragrant odor) and a trace of water. Colognes have about 3-5% perfume oil mixed with 80-90% alcohol with about 5 to 15 percent water in the mix. Originally, eau de cologne was a mixture of citrus oils from such fruits as lemons, oranges, tangerines, limes, and grapefruits. These were combined with such substances as lavender and neroli (orange-flower oil). Toilet water has the least amount of perfume oil mixture among the three main liquid "perfumery" categories. It has only about 2 to 8 percent of some type of perfume oil and 60-80% alcohol dispersent with water making up the difference.〔(perfume )〕〔Groom, p. 329〕 Toilet waters are a less concentrated form of these above types of alcohol-based perfumes.〔(''eau de toil'' definition from the online Free Dictionary )〕〔(Thesaurus online dictionary )〕 Traditionally cologne is usually made of citrus oils and fragrances, while toilet waters are not limited to this specification.〔Grolier, p. 154〕〔''Consumer reports'', pp. 409-411〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eau de toilette」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
