What is the scent of cologne? Is cologne woody?

Cologne is a kind of perfume that can be used by both men and women. So what kind of fragrance does cologne have? Is the fragrance of cologne woody?

There are many types of cologne, so the smell of each one is different. Most colognes are mainly composed of bergamot oil, sweet orange oil and rosemary oil. The smell of cologne is not as strong as other perfumes. Its smell is relatively light, which makes people feel relaxed and refreshed. In short, the smell is very refreshing and more suitable for men.

Cologne is a sweet and fresh scent of citrus fruits with orange blossom, rosemary and lavender. Cologne has a distinct fresh oily and refreshing smell that makes people feel comfortable and pleasant.

Cologne will expire, and the shelf life is about 5 years. In general households, wardrobe drawers, closets and even kitchen cabinets in the bedroom away from the heating can be used as places to store perfume. If conditions permit, you can buy a small refrigerator separately and adjust it to a lower temperature to store perfume and cosmetics, but do not mix them with food in a household refrigerator. The refrigerator for food at home is actually very dirty and has mixed smells, which is not conducive to the storage of perfume. The contact surface of perfume with air after opening is very small. Therefore, there is no need to consider this issue in normal use.

There are different legends about the origin of the cologne type, but most people believe that it originated from the Italian barber Fermini in 1690. It is said that he obtained the recipe of Hungarian water (Eau de la Reine de Hongrie) three hundred years ago (around 1370) (mainly made of rosemary oil and ethanol), added bitter orange flower oil, bergamot oil, sweet orange oil produced in Italy, etc. to create a very popular toilet water, and passed it on to his descendant Farina. Later, Farina moved to Cologne, Germany, named this toilet water "Kolnische Wasser" or "Eau de Cologne", and set up a branch in Paris, France to sell this "cologne". Because this kind of "water" is still popular, it has become a classic fragrance type - "cologne type".

Modern cologne is no longer just a "gulong" fragrance, but also refers to low-concentration perfumes with a fragrance content of 2-5%. Due to the low fragrance content and high alcohol content, the fragrance lasts for a short time, generally 1-2 hours.
