What does Cologne smell like?

The citrus comes from bergamot and bitter orange, while the green side is built from spearmint, galbanum and blackcurrant bud. Vetiver, patchouli and oakmoss add a dry, lightly spicy woodiness, so the scent stays clean and crisp throughout.

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and the office lead the occasions. Votes for masculine and feminine are close, so it sits comfortably between the two. Miller Harris Le Petit Grain and Diptyque L'Eau des Hespérides have a close profile.
