What the AI looks for in Women's Cologne
- What 'cologne' means here
- For women, 'cologne' usually means eau de cologne, about 2–5% oil, typically citrus or aromatic. It is a light, short-lived concentration, not a men's scent.
- Citrus fades fastest
- Expect citrus-led colognes to last a couple of hours, and reapply or layer. Citrus molecules are among the most volatile in perfumery.
Brands that matter
- Jo Malone London: Colognes built for layering.
- 4711: Original, inexpensive eau de cologne.
- Acqua di Parma: Premium Italian citrus colognes.
What to avoid
- Choosing a cologne when you want evening-long presence.
Questions
Is women's cologne just a men's fragrance?
