Frequently Asked Questions

How long should a budget cologne last on my skin?

Most quality budget colognes should provide 4-6 hours of noticeable scent, with some lingering for up to 8 hours. Performance varies based on your skin type, the fragrance concentration, and environmental factors.

What's the difference between cologne, eau de toilette, and eau de parfum?

These terms refer to fragrance concentration. Cologne typically has 2-4% fragrance oils, eau de toilette has 5-15%, and eau de parfum contains 15-20%. Higher concentrations usually mean stronger scent and better longevity.

How much cologne should I apply?

Start with 1-2 sprays on pulse points like your neck or wrists. You can always add more, but over-application can be overwhelming to others. A good rule is that people should notice your fragrance when they're close to you, not from across the room.

Can I wear the same cologne year-round?

While you can wear any fragrance you enjoy, many people prefer lighter, fresher scents in summer and warmer, spicier fragrances in winter. Consider having at least two different colognes for seasonal rotation if your budget allows.
