    This is the fragrance for when you already own something better. The original Colonia wasn't enough, too bright, too easy. Essenza adds weight behind it. Same clarity, more depth.Colonia Essenza Special Edition 2015
    It smells like a London nursery rhyme written by a French architect. Bright citrus up top, Earl Grey tea underneath, vetiver at the base. That tea note is the move.Oranges and Lemons Say The Bells of St. Clements
