Learn About Fragrances for Men

Whether you call it fragrances for men or colognes, you will find more and more men identifying their uniqueness with a special scent. Let's learn a little bit more about colognes and how the men's fragrance industry has grown.

What does "Cologne" mean:

A scented liquid made of various fragrant oils and alcohol . Also called "eau de cologne"

Word History: The term cologne, denoting toilet water, is from Cologne, the English and French name of the German city Köln, where cologne has been made since the beginning of the 18th century. The first use of cologne for toilet water is recorded in English in 1814, with the word being used in the compound cologne water, a translation of eau de Cologne, the French word for this liquid. The ultimate source of the word lies in the history of the city, which stretches back to the Roman Empire: its Latin name was Colnia, meaning “colony.”
