What does Colonia Intensa (Eau de Cologne) smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it works as a light companion through the day. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office come up most. It is mostly described as masculine and classic.
It opens bright and lightly spicy with Sicilian lemon, Calabrian bergamot, ginger and cardamom. Myrtle, artemisia and neroli bring a green, airy middle. In the base, cedarwood, leather and patchouli take over, while musk and benzoin soften that woody, leathery floor.
