eau de cologne

Diluted scented splash

Eau de cologne is a light, refreshing fragrance, typically citrus-based and less concentrated than perfume.

Originally from Cologne, Germany, the term now applies broadly to any similar light scent.

Often shortened to simply cologne, especially for men's fragrances: He splashed on some cologne before the date.
