What distinguishes Eau de Cologne from other perfume concentrations?

Eau de Cologne is characterised by a light fragrance concentration, usually built around citrus notes and aromatic herbs. It offers immediate, bright freshness that fades more quickly than an eau de parfum or an extrait. Its purpose is not to create intense projection but to provide a spontaneous, pleasant everyday gesture. It is ideal for those seeking clarity, simplicity and an elegant, understated signature.

Why is Eau de Cologne often associated with freshness?

Eau de Cologne owes its fresh character to its ingredients: citrus fruits, aromatic herbs, light florals and subtle musks. Bergamot, lemon or sweet orange produce a lively and sparkling opening that diffuses quickly, giving an immediate sensation of lightness. Historically designed as a daily revitalising gesture, it still embodies a refreshing and luminous feel, perfect for warm days, active mornings or discreet environments.

How do I choose the right Eau de Cologne?

To choose the right Eau de Cologne, identify the type of freshness you enjoy: citrusy, floral, aromatic or slightly musky. Lovers of bright and sparkling scents will gravitate toward citrus-forward compositions. Those who prefer softness will enjoy neroli, gentle florals or clean musks. If you want a more structured profile, choose a Cologne enriched with light woods or green notes. The best choice is always the one you take pleasure in wearing daily.

When should you wear Eau de Cologne?

Eau de Cologne is perfect for moments where you want a fresh, light and easy-to-wear fragrance. It suits sunny days, active mornings or settings where a discreet trail is preferred. Many use it after a shower, as a refreshing gesture before going out or to revive the senses throughout the day. Its softness also makes it ideal for people sensitive to stronger perfumes.

Can Eau de Cologne be layered with other perfumes?

Yes, Eau de Cologne layers wonderfully thanks to its fresh and lightweight structure. It can be applied first to bring brightness to a fragrance, then complemented with a denser or more structured perfume. This technique allows for a personalised scent trail, adding luminosity to an eau de parfum or softness to a more intense composition. Always test combinations on the skin to ensure harmony and smooth evolution throughout the day.
