FougèreWhat does Colonia Futura smell like?
Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate. Most pick spring and summer, with fall in second place and winter rarely chosen. Leisure, daily wear and business are the most voted occasions, and most voters read it as masculine or classic.
It opens with grapefruit, Calabrian bergamot, lemon and pink pepper, so citrus leads while the pepper adds a spicy edge. Clary sage and lavender move in at the heart, giving it its fougère shape. Vetiver at the base keeps the freshness on a woody, green line. Castle Forbes 1445 and Azzaro Azzaro pour Homme L'Eau have a close profile.
