Cologne: Find the Right Fragrance at Kohl's
Whether you’re looking to add a little something to your Saturday night ensemble or enhance your weekday wardrobe, you’ll give just the right impression with an aromatic cologne or perfume from Kohl’s. Perfumes and colognes are scents that people wear to express their style and elevate their look. The right fragrance can lift your mood, evoke fond memories, or simply help you smell your best. With thousands of options available today—including sought-after choices like designer cologne for young men to men's classic colognes—there’s a scent for everyone. So how do you choose the perfect fragrance to match your own unique style and personality? There are several simple ways to explore and discover the scent that fits you best.
How Do You Choose The Scent That Is Right For You?
Each perfume or cologne is made up of different "notes." These notes shape the overall scent and are arranged in three layers: top, middle, and base notes. Together, they create a unique fragrance profile that develops over time. For example, some scents are considered floral and feature notes like rose, gardenia, or geranium. Others may feel fresh and fruity, with hints of citrus or apple. There are also colognes with exotic, spicy notes like star anise or cinnamon.
Wondering how to choose a men's cologne? Start by thinking about the types of scents you enjoy most—whether that’s crisp and clean, warm and spicy, or vibrant and citrusy. Consider when and where you’ll wear your fragrance, since some colognes are well-suited for everyday wear while others shine on special occasions. Sampling different notes and discovering what feels right can help you find a scent that matches your style and makes you feel confident.
Men's scents have various notes as well. Musk scents have a heavier, more masculine tone, while others may have earthy and woody smells or warm and spicy notes. It is always a good idea to determine which types of cologne or perfume you prefer and then see which base notes they contain before deciding on one. You can learn more about the different notes used to make cologne and perfume in order to get a better idea of which ones you think will suit your tastes.
What Is The “Concentration” Of A Scent?
Fragrances come in four different levels of concentration. As the concentration gets higher, the price usually gets higher as well. Typically, colognes or perfumes with high concentration have a more powerful scent and last longer. They can be a bit pricey, but some people feel the higher price is absolutely worth it. The highest concentration is simply called perfume or parfum. This level usually will last all day with just one application to the wrists or pulse points.
The next lower level is eau de parfum, which typically can last about six hours after application. The third level is called eau de toilette and is usually fairly affordable and easy to find in retail stores. It typically requires more than one application throughout the day to get it to last. The fourth and lowest fragrance concentration is eau de cologne, which only lasts about two hours.
But you don’t have to be a fragrance expert in order to choose the perfume or cologne that is going to be right for you. Part of the reason for that is that many people like to experiment with fragrances and end up owning several that they like. Something very common is for people to use different scents for different outfits or occasions. Kohl’s has an expansive collection of colognes, perfumes and body sprays that will add just the right enhancement to whatever outfit you’re wearing for whatever occasion you’re wearing it. If you’re looking for enhancement to compliment your scent, be sure to check out our assortment of fragrance sets, too, which can include multiple scents by a particular designer or enhancements like body lotion and other beauty supplements that compliment the fragrance.
