Description

The history of the eau of Cologne goes back to almost four centuries, a history formed by extraordinary myths, family feuds and treacherous acts of commercial plagiarism. Its gradual use is a reflection of the evolution of society and its morality, in relation to body and hygiene, a gesture of intimacy. First perfume of kings, then the most popular fragrance, within reach of all the pockets.
