__ de cologne (3)

I believe the answer is:

eau

(Other definitions for eau that I've seen before include "Perrier water" , "-- de vie" , "French water - de Cologne?" , "French water, may be Cologne" , "French water from chateaux" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, the USA Today, the LA Times, the L.A. Times Daily, The Mirror, The Wall Street Journal, the Universal, The New York Times, The Washington Post, the Newsday and the Newsday.com.
