What does Eau de Cologne smell like?

Its longevity is moderate and its sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and keeps quiet. Voters mostly pick it for leisure, daily wear and the office. More call it masculine than feminine, but a good share see it as feminine, so it sits comfortably on either side.

The top is led by aromatic and citrus notes, with floral and woody notes in the heart. Oakmoss and musk dry down underneath. It carries a fresh, green chypre feel, while the fruity and spicy touches stay in the background. Monotheme Pompelmo and Al Rehab Silver (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
