Original Eau de Cologne
Lime, lemon, and bergamot burst together in a clean, zesty opening — bright without being sharp, the three citruses overlapping in a way that reads almost sparkling.

By the editors · 2 min readLime, lemon, and bergamot burst together in a clean, zesty opening — bright without being sharp, the three citruses overlapping in a way that reads almost sparkling. Galbanum underneath adds a cool, cut-grass edge that keeps the opening from feeling too sweet.
Violet in the heart softens the green character, introducing a faintly powdery and floral quality. Jasmine adds body without asserting itself strongly. The composition here is light and transparent, the green fading as the florals come forward.
Sandalwood and frankincense provide a minimal but stabilising base — warm resin and soft wood that extend the wear modestly. Musk holds everything close to skin in the final hours.
