Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its fresh, clean, and understated profile makes it perfect for the office or casual wear. While not explicitly a 'date night' scent, its sophisticated dry down offers an intriguing alternative. The animalic base note means it's not ideal for sport.

About

Russian Cologne opens with a vibrant, zesty burst of neroli and bergamot, utterly refreshing and bright. This soon settles into a calming green heart, where aromatic lavender and herbaceous rosemary mingle with a faint spice of clove. The dry down is where things get interesting: a subtle, intriguing warmth from benzoin merges with a clean, almost soapy civet note. It’s polished, smooth, and surprisingly long-lasting for a cologne-style fragrance.
