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.

Sedley

Bergamot and spearmint open onto a heart of geranium, lavandin and pine, set on sandalwood, ambroxan and white musk. A crisp aromatic cut for daylight and heat.
