Deux choses définissent une eau de Cologne. D'abord sa composition. Même si les parfumeurs contemporains donnent diverses directions à leur formule, une eau de Cologne est essentiellement basée sur un accord de citron, d'orange, de bergamote, de romarin, de bigarade et de néroli. Il y a aussi le degré de concentration des essences dans l'alcool. 4, record 1, French, - eau%20de%20Cologne
