	Cologne, Germany
		In the early Middle Ages Cologne was besieged by the huns who ceased from Cologne only after the holy Ursula returned, accompanied by 11.000 virgins (according to the legend), from a pilgrimage to Rome and freed Cologne once and for all from the huns.
		Cologne thereby received another attraction for pilgrims, leading to the foundation of the cathedral in 1248.
		Due to a dwindling of the pilgrims and a general recession of the city, the construction of the cathedral was stoped in 1560 for the next 282 years.

		It is recommended that you apply cologne on pulse points such as your wrists, behind the ears, and the base of your throat.
		Spray the cologne onto any of these locations by holding the bottle at a distance of 15 centimeters and allow it to dry on its own -- do not rub your skin after application as this will alter the smell, even if you're dabbing it on rather than spraying.
		Keep in mind that cologne should only be sensed by those who are within arm's length of you; you'll know if you're wearing too much if those at a greater distance can smell you as well.
