What does Note di Colonia I smell like?
The bergamot and neroli up top give a bright, slightly green freshness. In the heart, violet, rose and lavender soften the floral side, while patchouli and cedarwood settle the scent onto a woody base. Creamy and lightly spicy touches round it out without weighing it down.
Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. It reads somewhat more masculine, though a good share of voters call it feminine. Rochas Moustache Original 1949 and Xerjoff Torino23 have a close profile.
