Less concentrated than perfume or Eau de Parfum It is created with fragrance oil at a lighter concentration for a more subtle impression Eau de Toilette is considered the ideal all-over-the-body base for a scent/fragrance application
Brandy A French translation of the Latin aqua vitæ (water of life) This is a curious perversion of the Spanish acqua di vitæ (water or juice of the vine), rendered by the monks into aqua vitæ instead of aqua vitis, and confounding the juice of the grape with the alchemists' elixir of life The same error is perpetuated in the Italian acqua vite; the Scotch whisky, which is the Celtic uisc-lyf; and the Irish usquebaugh, which is the Gaelic and Irish uisgæ-beatha (See Aqua Vitae )
Translated from the French, eau-de-vie means "water of life " It is an alcohol distillate that is rich with taste, flavor, and aroma The French use the expression "eau-de-vie" as a generic term for all brandies It is unlikely, however, that you will hear Cognac and Armagnac ordered in this manner
