Is there really a difference between expensive cologne and affordable colognes? The answer depends largely on personal opinion. However, it’s not incorrect to assume that the more expensive the bottle, the better it will smell. More expensive colognes are typically made with higher-end ingredients, last longer and smell subtle rather than overpowering. However, depending on one’s sense of smell, the most expensive colognes in the world may or may not be worth the hefty price tag.

Additionally, it’s a linear fragrance, which means that it will smell the same in the morning when applied as it will at the end of the day.
