What do reviewers say about Eau de Cologne du Coq and Bois du Portugal?
This is what a cologne looked like before colognes became an adjective. Bright opening, gentle heart, grounded base, it doesn't announce itself or chase you across the room.Eau de Cologne du Coq
Bois du Portugal has been holding its own since 1987 without chasing trends. That restraint is precisely what makes it work. This is not a safe choice in the way that a mass-market freshie is safe;.Bois du Portugal
