The Story
Cologne (2023) is a bold reimagining of the classic eau de cologne. It opens with a sharp, zesty burst of bitter orange and petitgrain, then settles into a clean, almost metallic floral heart of neroli and lavender. The base is a surprising twist of salty ambergris and creamy sandalwood, giving it a modern, skin-like feel. It's a cologne that doesn't fade into the background—it demands attention.
