The Story
This is the original Eau de Cologne, a recipe that has been guarded by the Farina family since 1709. The orange bottle edition is a tribute to the historic citrus blend: bright bergamot and lemon open the scent, with a soft floral heart of neroli and rosemary. The base is a clean, warm mix of musk and woods. It's a piece of fragrance history that still feels fresh and modern.
