Can someone explain which colognes for men are considered Kosher L’Pesach and why others are not?

Colognes used to be made with a grain alcohol base, so that is chometz gamur.  That was in the olden days.  Today even high class products are usually made with synthetic alcohol. Those whose contents are known are on kosher l'Pesach lists.

I checked a few lists- can you point me in the direction where you saw this?

Hey JJ - it’s more of an informational question than a shailah

Just wanna make sure you know we are ahead of success not pesach, pesach is in 1/2 a year from now.

I’m looking to buy cologne now, hence the question

I don't have personal experience, but that's usually what happens to such products.
I just looked at my go-to list.

That was back in the good old days.  Synthetic alcohol is typically used in the production of even high-end items nowadays. Products with known ingredients are included on kosher l'Pesach lists.

This is true for all colognes/perfumes?

I found an ingredient list of what's inside a particular cologne. What should I look for?

I just learned this in rabbi ribiats pesach book today

If it includes fermentation ethanol this can possibly be chometz so the product needs a kosher for pesach sign. Check ingredients for:
Ethanol
Ethyl alcohol
SD alcohol
SDA 18


If they have synthetic alcohol this is not a problem of chometz.
Examples are:
Ethylene
Ethylene Glycol
Ethylamines
Ethyl Acrylate
nothings impossible- the word itself says Im possible

Thank you for checking. The one that you checked that is accepted is one of the only perfumes made by dior that is alcohol free.

Seems the one that I have has real alcohol and cannot be used.

I once heard that most perfumes/colognes that are made in the USA are made with artificial alcohol.
Mine is made in france.
