What does Colonia Leather (Eau de Cologne Concentrée) smell like?

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and also finds a place at work and for daily wear. Voters read it as masculine and classic. Acqua di Parma Leather (Eau de Parfum) and Xerjoff Homme have a close profile.

It opens with Sicilian lemon, Brazilian orange and raspberry, a bright citrus-fruit start. The heart brings rose, honeysuckle, Paraguayan petigrain and red thyme, with a spicy tone taking over. In the base, Paraguayan gaiac wood, Atlas cedar and leather settle into a woody, smoky, resinous finish.
