Cologne is a type of fragrance that is typically made with a lower concentration of essential oils and a higher concentration of alcohol and water. It is named after the city of Cologne, Germany, where it was first produced in the 18th century. Cologne is known for its fresh and light scent, which makes it a popular choice for daily wear and warmer weather. It usually contains citrus and herbal notes, such as bergamot, lemon, lavender, and rosemary, which give it a refreshing and invigorating aroma. Cologne is often marketed towards men, but there are also colognes designed for women. It can be applied to the skin or clothing and is commonly used on the neck, wrists, and chest. The longevity of a cologne depends on its concentration and quality of ingredients, with higher-quality colognes tending to last longer.
