Eau de Cologne
Henry M. Betrix City Eau de Cologne is a masculine cologne that opens with lemon and bergamot lifted by aldehydes, then darkens into spice, vetiver and leather; it has been discontinued.
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It reads masculine, and its spicy, woody, leathery build leans towards cooler seasons.
It starts with lemon, bergamot, aldehydes and spices. In the heart, vetiver, cinnamon and patchouli take over, softened by sandalwood and geranium. The base of musk, castoreum, moss, labdanum and leather sets an earthy, smoky ground. Gainsboro G-man and Rochas Globe have a close profile.
