What does Cologne smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it neither lingers heavily nor fades fast. Most voters pick summer and spring, with daily and leisure wear leading. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it reads open to both.

It opens with blood orange, mandarin orange, Italian lemon and bergamot, lifted by curly mint into a bright citrus burst. Jasmine, magnolia and orange blossom soften that freshness with flowers at the heart. Patchouli, musk and cedarwood leave a light woody base. Bon Parfumeur 001 Fleur d'Oranger Petit Grain Bergamote and Penhaligon's Luna share a close profile.
