The Story
This is the original Eau de Cologne, a recipe that dates back to 1709. The black bottle edition is a modern tribute to that heritage. It opens with a bright burst of citrus—bergamot, lemon, and orange—then settles into a soft floral heart of neroli and rosemary. The base is clean and warm with musk and a hint of woods. It's a piece of history you can wear.
