There must be something in the water — or should I say, in the eau — because three times in the past two weeks, I've been asked to explain the difference between an eau de toilette, an eau de parfum, an eau de cologne, and a perfume (or parfum). I am sure that some of you might ace this quiz with your eyes closed, but for those of you who are wondering how to make your way through a fragrance department, here's your chance to brush up on your ABCs of fragrance. Take this quiz to find out just how savvy a fragrance aficionado you really are!

I remember in 4th or 5th grade getting a collection of sample size eau de toilettes from a trip my parents went on. I thought I was hot stuff and when kids at school asked me what perfume I was wearing I was sure to correct them that it was an "eau de toilette". Boy was that ever a mistake! Those uneducated swines, hahaha!
