Cologne (2010)
EDCUnisex
The Story
Cologne (2010) is a bold, irreverent take on the classic eau de cologne. It opens with a sharp blast of bitter orange and petitgrain, then settles into a clean, soapy heart of neroli and lavender. The base is surprisingly warm with musk and a touch of leather, giving it a modern edge. It's a cologne that doesn't apologize for being different.
