Cologne is a term that characterizes an old perfume. It contains no more than 2-5% aromatic components, the rest is alcohol and water. Colognes do not stay on the body for a long time, at least 2 hours, but, like perfume, they do not reveal themselves in all their glory immediately.
The upper chords that open first create a certain impression about a man, so the composition must be selected with all care. The base chords are responsible for the sillage – they stay on the skin for more than 1,5 hours.
What do you want to say about yourself to others? What impression to make on others? These questions should be asked by every man who decides to buy cologne.
According to research, a woman sees a man as attractive if he smells good. This can be achieved with perfumery, namely cologne. If you choose one of the options from the list, be prepared for the fact that the girls will look after you!
