    Real talk

    It says 'Eau de Cologne' on the bottle. Don't believe it. The civet and castoreum in the base have opinions, and they come out after an hour. This is a cologne that forgot to be polite.Colonia Russa
    No promises. No drama. Just a very nice smell, worn by people who know that simple isn't basic. Acqua di Sicilia smells like a place you haven't been yet.Acqua di Sicilia
