Frequently asked questions about Eau de Cologne
What makes an Eau de cologne different from other perfumes?
One way to distinguish different types of perfume is by the amount of alcohol it contains. An Eau de Cologne typically contains between 2 to 4 percent alcohol and about 4 to 10 percent fragrance essence. An aftershave splash has a significantly higher amount of alcohol, almost exclusively alcohol but a smaller proportion of fragrance essence.
Why should I use Eau de cologne?
A Cologne’s primary task is to be fragrant and thereby help to hide other body odors and odors. However, it is important to point out that a cologne only does this for a certain amount of time and should be applied at regular intervals.
Can’t I just use more cologne then?
Using a large amount does not mean that the scent lasts longer than if you use a slightly smaller amount, but it can be perceived as repulsive and unpleasant. In addition, the bottle runs out faster.
Which Eau de cologne should I choose?
The choice of a Cologne is a highly personal choice, based on your own liking and your taste in terms of scent above all. Maybe you prefer a classic simple scent or something more modern and innovative. Why not have different ones and try it out as different scents are better suited for different occasions. In fact, this is very common to have different scents for different occasions, for example one for daytime work, another for the home and a third if you are out somewhere in the evening. It is also common to change according to the season.
What should I consider when buying an Eau de Cologne?
In every man’s fragrance wardrobe there should be two, preferably three different Eau de Cologne.
An everyday fragrance that can be used daily, for example, in working life or if you are studying. Alternatively, just a fragrance for ordinary days during the day. This should preferably be a fairly mild simple scent. Something that doesn’t feel too repulsive and powerful.
The next scent is the weekend and or leisure scent. This is a fragrance for leisure activities during the week and weekend. Keep in mind that a scent disappears over time and therefore it can be a good idea to apply more or change after a while. This scent can stand out slightly more than the everyday scent.
Finally, there should also be a fragrance for special occasions. It can be, for example, holidays or occasions when you want to feel a little extra fragrant for various reasons. This is also a great opportunity for your own signature scent. The scent you feel most comfortable with.
