Based on a mistaken belief, many believe that the difference between perfume and cologne is related to gender. That is, cologne is made for men and perfumes are made for women, maybe the reason for this belief is because of the tendency of most men to choose milder perfumes. But the main difference between perfume and cologne is the staying power of the scent and its concentration. Perfumes are usually much stronger than colognes and the concentration of essential oils in them is higher, which makes the perfume last longer than cologne.
The difference between using perfume and cologne
What is cologne?
Cologne is usually a common term for men's fragrances in North America. But in fact, colognes are deodorizing solutions in which the concentration of aromatic oils is very low, between 2 and 4%, and the amount of alcohol used in them is higher, and their shelf life is only a few hours. Colognes are very suitable for spraying and creating freshness with a good smell.
What is pure perfume?
Pure perfume has the highest concentration among existing perfumes, and between 15 and 30% of its ingredients are essential oils, which makes the smell stronger and longer lasting. Because of this, the trail of smell is always more impressive in pure perfumes.
