Cologne is the term used on context of a perfume that is made in the style that originated in Cologne, Germany. It comprises of a mixture of citrus oils, including those of lemon, orange, tangerine, bergamot, lime, grapefruit and neroli, in a base of dilute ethanol. Apart from that, cologne can also have essential oils, like lavender oil, rosemary oil, thyme oil, petit-grain (orange leaf) oil and jasmine oil, in it. In today's world, cologne is considered almost a necessary application, especially before you step out of the house. In the following lines, we will tell you the proper way to apply cologne.
How To Use Cologne
- If you are using the cologne after a long time or have just bought the bottle from the market, first ensure that it is spraying out the correct amount. In such a case, you might have to take a few pumps to get the cologne out of the bottle.
- Now, you should spray one pump of cologne on either your left or right wrist.
- Rub the wrists together, so that the cologne gets evenly spread on both of them.
- Spray the cologne on your hands/fingers and wipe them behind the ears, on the chest and on the side of your neck (where you feel the pulse).
- If your cologne bottle doesn't come with a spray top, put your finger over the top and turn the bottle upside down.
- Thereafter, apply it on the inside of your wrists, behind the ears, on the chest and on the side of your neck.
Some Tips
- It is always advisable to pat the cologne on the desired body parts. Do not rub, as rubbing would make the natural oils on your skin cover the cologne.
- While spraying cologne, make sure to keep it away from your clothes. If you spray it onto the clothes, you might end up running them.
- Whenever you buy cologne, spray a little from the tester onto the inside of your wrist. Wait for a few seconds before smelling it. If you like the fragrance, buy it.
- Remember that the cologne should be enough to leave a lingering presence after you have passed a person. But, it should not be so powerful that a room starts reeking of it the moment you enter.
