- propinquity 6y agoIs that right? I haven't seen things other than spirits use proof as a measurement rather than ABV. I don't know about Turkish kolnya but colognes are typically 70-90% ABV.

- xenonite 6y agoCould you elaborate? According to Wikipedia it is 70%-90% alcohol. "In a base of dilute ethanol (70–90%), eau de cologne contains a mixture of citrus oils" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eau_de_Cologne https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eau_de_Cologne

- artificialidiot 6y agoWell I did a better research and yea, you are right. Traditionally, all bottles have something like "80 proof" on them. Apparently, it is not English proof but French proof which is same as ABV.
