Cologne Grand Luxe (Eau de Toilette)

It opens with bergamot, lemon, mandarin orange and lavender, then moves into a green, lightly floral heart of rosemary, petitgrain, neroli and geranium. Sandalwood, benzoin and amber in the base soften it into a faintly sweet, powdery, woody finish.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin and keeps a low profile. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure and office use lead the occasions. Most see it as masculine. Goutal Les Colognes - Eau d'Hadrien and Memo Paris Zante have a close profile.
