eau de Cologne
(redirected from Eau du Cologne)

    Also found in: Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.04 sec.
eau de Cologne (ō də kəlōn`), dilute perfume [commonly called cologne in English] introduced c.1709 in Cologne, Germany, by Jean Marie Farina. It was probably a modification of a popular formula made before 1700 by Paul Feminis, an Italian in Cologne, and was based on bergamot and other citrus oils. The water of Cologne was believed to have the power to ward off bubonic plague.
