A lively and refreshing bite of bergamot, bitter orange and lemon, intensified by juniper berry and its aromatic bitterness. Angelica and sage bring green and herbal nuances to this olfactory cocktail, while a touch of galbanum hints at a trace of an evanescent tobacco.
First composed in 1967 by Paul Vacher, then revisited in 2016 by Rodrigo Flores-Roux, Cologne expresses not only citruses, but also the imaginary and anachronistic meeting of both perfumers. In the shadow of a bitter orange tree in Le Galion House’s private hotel, chatting about fragrance while smoking a cigar and sharing a refreshing gin. Simply carefree and delicious.
Olfactive Information
Juniper berry and its icy freshness, like a glass of gin on a hot afternoon.
Top Notes: Bitter orange, bergamot, lemon, and eau de brouts
« To go further than the usual pattern of Cologne – citruses and orange blossom in the opening – I wanted to create a subtle surprise by using green and aromatic notes like juniper, sage, galbanum, and angelica. This accord quietly shakes up the Cologne’s construction, by giving it a special touch that I hope would make Paul Vacher smile. »
