Eau de Cologne Astier de Villatte

Citrus leads: bergamot and orange give it a bright start, while neroli and petitgrain add a lightly bitter floral edge. Rosemary, basil and lavender bring a green, slightly spicy freshness, vervain softens the sharpness, and benzoin and musk sit quietly underneath as a warm base.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it suits daily wear, leisure and the office. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it reads as genuinely in between. Lorenzo Villoresi Acqua di Colonia and Astier de Villatte Eau Fugace have a close profile.
