科隆的主要区别(main difference cologne) vs. 香水(perfume)

尽管许多人认为古龙水和香水的区别在于古龙水是男人用的，香水是女人用的，但事实并非如此。古龙水和香水的区别不在于性别差异，而在于成分、浓度和香味选择等性质。古龙水和香水的主要区别在于，香水的香味比香水强烈而有力。

什么是香水(perfume)？

香水是由芳香的精油或芳香化合物、固定剂和溶剂混合而成。香水的历史可以追溯到世界上最早的文明。但现代香水业始于19世纪末的欧洲。

香水的寿命或强度取决于香水中芳香化合物和精油的浓度。纯香水含有大约15-40%浓度的油。这是香味产品中含有最高浓度的油。当香水中的酒精蒸发后残留在皮肤上的香油时，香油浓度最高的产品会产生持久的香味。因为香水含有高浓度的芳香化合物，所以它们是有效和强烈的。因此，不应随意使用。香水应该只适用于身体的脉搏点。

A perfume is typically made of several scents. In perfumery, these are called notes. There are three notes in a perfume called head note, middle note and the base note. Head note or top note is the scent that is immediately perceived after the application of a scent. The middle note is the scent that is perceived just before the dissipation of the head note. The base note appears prior to the dissipation of the middle note. Middle note and the base note create the main theme of the perfume.

什么是科隆(cologne)？

Cologne is a type of perfume that is originating from Cologne, Germany. Though the term cologne is mostly associated with the scented products worn by men, it is not this that differentiates cologne from perfume. The difference between cologne and perfume lies on their composition and other properties. As mentioned above, perfume contains the highest percentage of aromatic compounds and cologne contains the lowest. Because of this low concentration, cologne is not as intense or potent as perfume. It only lasts a few hours, so it has to be applied liberally. In addition, cologne is less expensive compared to perfume.
