Did The Cold Weather Ruin My Cologne?

I ordered shaving cream, cologne, aftershave splash and stick deodorant from italianbarber.com in Canada last week. TOBS Mr. Taylor for all of the items. The items arrived in the outside bulk package mailbox at the entrance of our parking lot at work on Saturday and the package had been sitting there from 1:00 on Saturday afternoon until 8:00 this morning (Monday) and the temperature got down to 15-20 degrees here this weekend. Is it really bad that the package, specifically the cologne and aftershave splash were sitting out in that mailbox all weekend in that cold weather? (The mail box does have a door on it that is secured by a key lock, but is pretty much just steel inside. And furthermore, do I now run the risk of the cologne and aftershave splash being not at all effective (as far as scent potentcy, usefulness, etc.) or is it more like "Ehhh, don't worry. It will be totally fine. Just a little cold."?

Not at all. The cold is fine. It would be the heat to worry about ruining your frags. A lot of hard core collectors keep their frags in refrigerators to keep them cold on purpose.

You should be good. I find that frags are, by and large, more tolerant that we are led to believe. And as Tim said, it is heat you should worry about.

15-20 isn't a problem.
If it were to get cold enough for ice crystals to form, then you might have some issues with the chemical solutions separating and not properly recombining, but 15-20 won't hurt anything.
