What do reviewers say about Essenza di Colonia and Flor de Laranjeira?
If you want modern Cologne with real substance, this is it. The citrus opening is immaculate, but the clove-spiced heart and musky drydown give it depth most flankers lack.Essenza di Colonia
The citrus opening is aggressive in the best way, it hits and means it. Then the orange blossom takes over and the whole thing softens into something powdery and warm.Flor de Laranjeira
