    Real talk

    Built in 1984, worn by the kind of man who never reapply. The longevity is real, six to eight hours on most skin, moderate sillage that stays close. It's the scent of someone who doesn't explain.Armani Eau Pour Homme (new)
    Colonia remains the benchmark for Italian cologne. The citrus opening is crisp and immediate, the floral heart surprisingly soft, and the drydown provides just enough warmth without heaviness.Acqua di Parma Colonia
