Cologne (2015)
EDCUnisex
The Story
Cologne (2015) is a bold, irreverent take on the classic eau de cologne. It opens with a blast of bitter grapefruit and aldehydes, then settles into a clean, soapy heart of neroli and lavender. The base is a warm, slightly dirty mix of musk and oakmoss. It's a cologne that doesn't play by the rules.
