Choose between the actual EDP and EDT proposals using your budget, intended use and sample acceptance criteria. Select the version that passes all required checks and best matches the brief; the label alone does not establish cost, quality or wear time. This short guide helps you make that two-way decision.
Decision factors
Write your must-haves before reviewing the two proposals. Use the same bottle, quantity, pack and quote boundary for the cost comparison, and agree a comparable sample-evaluation method. Do not approve either version while a required safety, market, packaging or claim review is unresolved.
| Decision factor | What to compare | How to choose |
|---|---|---|
| Budget | Compare the full unit cost and separately disclosed setup, assessment and delivery costs against your ceiling. | If only one version fits the budget and all other must-haves, choose it. If neither fits, revise the brief and requote; EDT is not automatically the cheaper finished product. |
| Use scenario | Define the intended users, setting and scent experience, then compare the actual samples using agreed application and review conditions. | Choose EDP if its sample better matches the agreed brief; choose EDT if its sample does. Do not assign an office, sport or evening use solely from the name. |
| Verification | Check the candidate version, evaluation record and project-specific safety, market, pack and claim-review status with the responsible reviewers. | A version with unresolved required checks stays on hold. If both are acceptable, choose the better sensory fit; if preference is equal, choose the lower like-for-like total cost. |
Illustrative decision: your unit-cost ceiling is USD 4.00, the matched EDP quote is USD 4.20 and the EDT quote is USD 3.70. If both meet the same agreed requirements, choose EDT. If only the EDP sample meets the scent brief, revise the budget or configuration and requote rather than approve an unsuitable EDT. These are fictional prices and assumed review outcomes, not LAEYO quotations or test results.
What buyers should prepare
Send the two candidate codes, scent brief, intended use and market, bottle/pack specification, quantity by SKU, total-cost ceiling, target launch date and pass/fail criteria. Record which version you prefer, the evidence behind that choice and any approvals still outstanding.
Common mistakes
Do not make concentration claims without checking formula direction, market requirements, and documentation.

Next buyer action
Before requesting a quote, prepare your product type, target market, estimated quantity, packaging reference, budget range, and launch timeline so the project can be reviewed efficiently.
