And another Cologne...
The six fragrances from the perfumer behind the brand Miller Harris, Lyn Harris, are exclusively produced in a 50 ml bottle under her own name for the department store chain Marks & Spencer and are only available there.
The name Lyn Harris, as a trained "nose" from Grasse, guarantees a certain quality, even though this series is offered at a significantly lower price point than Miller Harris. I already like the citrusy Miller Harris scents "Tangerine Vert," "Le Pamplemousse," and "Citron Citron," so "Le Cologne" should be a safe bet-especially for Cologne fans like me. And fortunately, it is!
Now to the scent: It starts with a powerful burst of citrus from lemon, orange, and especially beautiful bergamot, as is fitting for a Cologne. But it is by no means outdated, thanks to the ever-present green-herbaceous-aromatic note that never pushes itself to the forefront. For a moment, I thought I detected lavender, but it could also be rosemary. Is there perhaps also orange blossom involved, lending a faint floral hint?
Later, a soft woodiness emerges. Despite the amber and the more pronounced vetiver, Le Cologne remains true to its name, now in a more refined manner. Harmonious in all phases, the scent never runs out of steam. Overall, it is a bit greener than Citron Citron and less orange than Tangerine Vert.
Because the citrus classic is always underpinned by this green note, it feels somewhat "modernized." I believe that Le Cologne will appeal to anyone, regardless of age or gender, who is looking for a nice variation on the old theme, even if the wheel hasn't been reinvented here.
Unfortunately, the longevity leaves a bit to be desired. For an Eau de Toilette, it would be fine, but this is an Eau de Parfum. One can only console oneself with the fact that its longevity far exceeds that of a true Cologne. Nevertheless: Overall, very successful!
