    Real talk

    Violet in a men's cologne divides people. That's exactly why it's worth wearing. Geo. F. Trumper made an unconventional choice in 1995, and it stuck. Bold enough to be remembered.Ajaccio Violets Cologne
    The dark violet and oakmoss combination is what makes this work, a sophisticated, slightly dangerous edge that works everywhere and lasts all day. The 8-10 hour longevity is the real selling point.Black Violet
