Cologne (2014)
EDCUnisex
The Story
Cologne (2014) is a bold, irreverent take on the classic eau de cologne. It opens with a sharp blast of bitter orange and pink pepper, then settles into a clean, soapy heart of neroli and lavender. The base is surprisingly warm with ambroxan and musk, giving it a modern, skin-like feel. It's a cologne that doesn't play by the rules.
