Eau de Cologne

Eau de cologne is one of the lightest fragrance concentrations: citrus, aromatic herbs and orange blossom for a fresh, clean feeling that comes back with every spray. In our selection you'll find traditional colognes alongside modern interpretations from artistic perfumery houses, all 100% original. Spray it generously!

Eau de cologne for men and women: how to choose

The classic cologne is built around citrus, neroli (the essence of bitter orange blossom) and aromatic herbs like rosemary and lavender: a simple structure designed to give an instant feeling of cleanliness. If you love this tradition, start with citrus, aromatic and fresh fragrances, or with the colognes of the Officina Profumo-Farmaceutica di Santa Maria Novella, the historic Florentine pharmacy. If you want something more contemporary, look for colognes that add woods, musks or flowers, like those by Jo Malone, the London house that calls most of its fragrances Colognes: they stay light but have more personality.

 

When to wear eau de cologne

After a shower, after a workout, on the hottest days or simply whenever you want a fresh feeling. Cologne was born to be used generously: it was once rubbed onto the neck, arms and chest like a tonic, and today you can still spray it liberally and reapply it several times a day. Keep it in your bag, at the gym or at the office: a couple of sprays and you're good to go!

 

Eau de cologne or Eau de Toilette?

Cologne has a lower concentration than an Eau de Toilette: you smell it for a shorter time, but that's exactly what makes it so easy to wear, even several times a day. If you love its freshness but want a longer-lasting trail, choose a citrus Eau de Toilette. If you're looking for something even softer, that you can also spray on your hair, try a body mist. Follow the scent!
