What does Kologne Shield of Protection smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and name leisure, daily wear and the office as the occasions it suits. On character, the masculine reading leads, though a fair number of voters find it feminine.

The top opens bright with bitter orange, mint and green mandarin orange. Neroli and rosemary give the heart a soft, leafy turn. In the base, cedarwood, plant juice and cashmeran dry it down on a woody footing. Verites Santorini Sunset and Davidoff Cool Water (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
