What is cologne?
Cologne (also translated as Cologne water, French: Cologne water or German: K? Lnisch Wasser (meaning "cologne") is a light perfume containing 2-3% essential oil. This perfume was first introduced by Italian Giovanni Maria Farina in Cologne, Germany on 1709. Because of its popularity, other brands of cologne have also been launched. Including 47 1 1 cologne named after its store number. At present, the default industry label standard of perfume is French. Note: eau is translated into water in French, and the preposition of ocean de is transliterated into of cologne in English. We all know that cologne is a grade name of perfume. But there has always been a misunderstanding in China that the perfume used by men is called cologne. (In fact, in the later period, China developed a male fragrance named after several Chinese words of cologne. One of them can be traced back to the complex between Napoleon and Cologne. He likes to use cologne himself, so men advocate using cologne as an example to follow. Second, China's culture is imperceptible, so China's perfume should not be too strong. Too strong is too ostentatious. Therefore, the cologne with the second lowest essence content has become the first choice for the first batch of people who accept perfume culture in China. In A.D. 1690, the Italian barber Fermini obtained the recipe of "Hungarian Water" more than 300 years ago (1370), adding Italian bitter neroli oil, lemon oil, sweet orange oil and so on. , created a very popular washing water and passed it on to his descendant farina. Later (17 19), farina moved to cologne, Germany, and named this toilet water "cologne water", which is also called "cologne water" in Chinese translation. In the eyes of people in the perfume industry, "Gulong" represents a kind of perfume, which is made from the sweet and fresh fragrance of citrus and the fragrance of orange blossom, rosemary and lavender. There is obvious fresh oil, which makes people feel comfortable and pleasant. Men in Europe especially like the smell of cologne. They like to spray this fresh and refreshing perfume on their bodies after taking a shower. Therefore, the early cologne was considered as "men's perfume" without fixative, so they could not leave fragrance. "47 1 1 cologne" is an outstanding representative of the classic cologne. Its packaging is quaint and generous, adopting the colors of the French court: sparrow green and gold, which is quite eye-catching and still has great fame and charm. Many people don't know what this cologne means with the prefix "47 1 1". In fact, it's just a street number in Cologne. At that time, there were 1 14 factories producing eau de cologne in Cologne, and Huadilin Mullins Company used their house number 47 1 1. Modern cologne is not only the fragrance of "cologne", but also a low-concentration perfume with essence content of 3%-5%, which is similar to toilet water. The content of toilet water essence is low (often less than 3%), containing about 30% water. Because toilet water is mainly used for disinfection, sterilization, itching relief and swelling reduction, people usually use toilet water as a sanitary product. And cologne is a "low-concentration perfume", not a sanitary product. Pictures of 47 1 1 cologne.
