EDPUnisex
The Story
Colonia Assoluta is a richer, deeper take on the classic Colonia. Jean-Claude Ellena crafted this EDP with a focus on warm, woody notes while keeping the bright citrus heart. It opens with sparkling bergamot and lemon, then settles into a smooth blend of clary sage, lavender, and a soft leathery base. This is a sophisticated scent for those who love the Colonia DNA but want more depth and longevity.
