Cologne Accord

Fresh and invigorating, playing with bergamot, neroli, lemon and aromatic notes.

Colognes are zesty and bright, fresh and invigorating. A cologne accord will typically feature a playful pop of citrus, fresh aromatic notes, and spritely orange blossom. Thus, those who regularly reach for eau de colognes will appreciate the vibrancy of notes like bergamot, neroli and lemon. The term “cologne” may also refer to a product of lower oil concentration in alcohol than an EDT.

History

The original Eau de Cologne was first launched in the city of Cologne in 1709 by Giovanni Maria Farina (1685–1766), a noteworthy Italian perfumer. He created the spirit-citrus scent and named his creation in honor of his new city. His fragrance quickly rose to notoriety, becoming a “must-have” scent among royals and the nobility alike. Its refreshingly light composition was in direct contrast to heavier accords of the time—cementing its place in perfume history and remaining a popular accord to this day.
