Splash on a cologne! the fragrance style that’s worth a second sniff
Back in fashion, this fragrance style is worth a second sniff, says Fiona McKim
Cologne might bring to mind old Spice, Brut or something equally whiffy your school boyfriend used to marinade himself in, but there’s much more to this classic style. technically speaking, Eau De Cologne is a fragrance made with 2-4% perfume oil and fresh, citrusy, herbal notes. this means perfume snobs sometimes turn their noses up, but I say more fool them; cologne has bags of modern appeal. I love a classic EDC on crisp spring days, they’re clean, gender neutral and can be spritzed with abandon without suffocating whoever sits next to you on the train.
