Colonia

A cologne without neroli: citrus over a heart of lavender and rosemary, then a vetiver and sandalwood base the genre rarely allows. Short-lived and bright, but anchored rather than fleeting.

Percival

A modern fougère: lavender and neroli over pale woods, clean and luminous. The house's most restrained proposition.
