Your welcome Don!
It's on my want list too. Now I have to decided which one to start with, can't afford all 3.

Interesting. I’ve had mine for some time. It’s the EdT and I use it as a slightly peppery scent. I’ll have to check out the others.

General consensus is that the EdP is the more desirable of the three; better reactions from people around you and longer lasting.

TBF, I haven't smelled any but the EdP, so I can't give a personal comparison between the two, from a scent perspective. But, EdT vs. EdP is a comparison between two different concentrations. EdP's (anywhere from 15-25% EO/FO concentration) typically have a higher concentration of EO/FO's than an EdT (10-15% concentration). That doesn't necessarily make them stronger or more specifically better performing scents, as an Eau Fraiche (typically only 5-10% EO/FO) with the right type of scent profile might last the entire day.
