What does Colonia Club (Eau de Cologne) smell like?

It opens cool with Sicilian mandarin orange, bergamot, Sicilian lemon and mint, while petitgrain and neroli pull the citrus slightly towards green. Lavender, geranium and galbanol form a fougère heart. Ambergris, white musk and Haitian vetiver leave a clean, woody base.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure and the office lead the occasions. It reads masculine and classic. Guerlain Frenchy Lavande and Coty Aspen for Men have a close profile.
