Why is it called "cologne"? What has it got to do with a German city? In the UK we usually refer to it as "after shave" which is translated exactly from the French.

No, no, not at all. The word "Cologne" is misused here, actually the products mentionned are "eaux de toilette". Eau de Cologne is a different product, and after shave is a COMPLETELY different product.

Thanks for the clarification. I use after shave then - RL Polo. I don't use cologne / eau de toilette.

Just a question, if you shave everyday, surely you apply after shave, and then if so, do you really need to apply cologne/eau de toilette to top up?

I always thought cologne was a synonym for after shave but I've been already corrected.

aftershave usually does not have a spray formulation and has a higher alcohol percentage (lower aromatic %) than eau de toilette or eau de parfum.

As Frank mentioned, most of the brands listed use a eau de toilette formulation....

I've still got a bottle of Old Spice that I'll slap on every once in a while, but ever since I stopped shaving with a razor and now use an electric shaver (I'm Asian, so there's not much stubble to shave off!), I just spray on some Armani Mania.

Like cigars, I tend to over indulge...

That bottle with the grey cap and green liquid (left side, near the red bottle)... is that Yves Saint Laurent? I remember my dad using that stuff back in the '80s.
