History of Cologne

Cologne as a spirit-citrus perfume was invented by Giovanni Maria Farina (1685-1766), a perfumer from Santa Maria Maggiore Valle Vigezzo, Italy, and was launched in 1709 in Germany. He wanted his new found product to have the odor of an Italian spring morning after the rain.

Giovanni Maria Farina’s formula has remained a trade secret still today. The term “cologne” now bears a generic connotation.

At the onset, the fragrance of the cologne invented by Giovanni Maria Farina was something very new in contrast to the sultry, sweet fragrances in vogue at that time. Uniqueness lent by Giovanni Maria Farina to the product made it famous around the world. It was much sought after in Germany in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Cologne now has become synonymous with ‘light fragrance’.

The making Men’s Cologne

Cologne, historically symbolizes the sensuous and passionate traits in men. But producing a range of perfect cologne is not an easy job. The exact formula and process of making cologne are kept secret for business principles. The production entails a lot of effort on the part of the manufactures. Moreover it is essential that the product is commercially viable. Choosy and informed men can identify the ingredients and origins of cologne just as a coffee tester knows his coffee.

Cologne’s are categorized according to their concentration levels, the family they belong to, and how long the fragrance lasts. At the time of making it is necessarily diluted with a solvent because undiluted oils (natural or synthetic) used as agent contain high concentrations of volatile components, which have the potential to cause allergic reactions and possibly injury when applied directly to skin. It is observed that solvents also vaporize the essential oils, helping them to diffuse into the air. The most widely used solvent used to dilute the oils for the making of cologne happens to be ethanol, or a mixture of ethanol and water. The process of dilution can also be done by using solvents like jajoba, fractionated coconut oil or wax. The type of men’s cologne that maintains a balance of 2-5% aromatic compounds is called perfect cologne. Calvin Klein men’s cologne maintains this balance all through its process.
