Cologne is a type of fragrance that originated in the city of Cologne, Germany. It typically has a lighter scent profile compared to perfumes, containing a lower concentration of aromatic compounds, usually around 2-5%. This makes cologne ideal for everyday wear, providing a refreshing and subtle aroma.
Cologne is often made from a blend of essential oils, alcohol, and water. Common notes in cologne include citrus, herbs, and spices, which contribute to its invigorating scent. It is popular among both men and women and is commonly used as a personal grooming product to enhance one's overall scent.
