Cologne

Cologne is a nice, simple fragrance that is what it appears to be - a simple citrus scent. It's nothing fancy and likely has been done a thousand times, but this one's still nice. There's nothing really hidden here or exceptional - the notes all seem to be there. Orange remains throughout the fragrance and is partnered with the floral notes. The drydown is a light leather and musk. Simple and to the point. Sillage and longevity are what you would expect - a few hours at most and it can be worn almost anywhere. With that said, I looked at some prices on this (received a random sample and wasn't familiar with this) - and I think this is just way overpriced for what it is. There are so many fragrances like this that are just as good and much cheaper.

First blast of intensely sweet orange and bergamot, almost candied. Stays sweet during the initial dry down and takes a while for a hint of white floral to present itself. Airy fresh sweet lovely. Evokes images of white cotton dresses in a dewy spring meadow. Half hour later the citrus and jasmine have completely disappeared and left behind musk, faintly leather. Unisex but feminine leaning and perfect for warm weather days. 6+ hours later: Gone.

It's nice, but this should be very cheap. Similar to 4711 indeed, but smells better quality and lot more floral. The citruses are the same synthetic, the florals are a bit more natural.

Cologne is the perfect name for this. This a wonderful classic citrus cologne. On my skin I get a huge blast of bergamot and neroli, as well as something a bit spicy/peppery. I don't pick up any blood orange. (I wish I did!). I wouldn't say that this is anything innovative or groundbreaking, as there are other comparable scents out there on the market. However, I do really enjoy it. On the negative side, the lasting power of this leaves much to be desired. This wears like a body spray on me...I have to douse myself in this, and reapply throughout the day. I would imagine that you can find something comparable for a better price. That being said, I would still consider a full bottle of this :-)

Think of a really bright, modern, easy to wear Fougere. Thats what you get here.Opens with Bright Lemony Bergamont. Great for spring and Summer. Drys down to a sort of Barbershop smell. Really great, my only qualm is the Longevity. Probably not worth it at full retail but if you can get a bottle for cheap then its worth it. Final Score: 7.5/10
