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.
Mefisto
Lemon, grapefruit and bergamot cut with lavender, over an orris-and-rose heart and a base of amber, cedar and sandalwood. The name points somewhere dark; the build is clean and soapy.
