Call poison control to be sure. Have the name of the cologne and approximate amount drunk on hand.

He'll be fine if he only took a small sip, but, there are alcohols in cologne that are dangerous and poisonous. I wouldn't be concerned unless he starts vomiting or complaining of blurred vision.

Usually the main ingredient in commercial cologne is alcohol - so he might get a bit of a buzz, but he should be fine. Keep an eye on him though - if he's not feeling good go to a clinic. Most likely he'll be fine, and if anything, learn to sniff before sipping!

I don't think it's dangerous but if you got the number for poison control, I'd call just to be safe. It couldn't hurt.
