1 Colonia No 1

Very nice, good quality italian cologne. Light to wear, like most citrus scents, it’s not a beast by any stretch but it sits close to the skin and provides a nice intimate aura for several hours. Best worn indoors, perfect for work or home leisure. I wore it outside on a warm day and it doesn’t have the power to be noticeable but indoors you are aware of its presence. It’s an authentic, high end Italian creation, which is reflected by the RRP (€110!) and at that price I couldn’t recommend but it’s nicely done for what it is, a simple, classic barbershop Cologne. As Antica Barbieria Colla maintain one of Italy’s oldest barbers, you’d expect them to know what they’re doing here and the ingredients seem natural and of good quality. Fans of ADP Colonia, Armani Eau etc. will enjoy this but bear in mind it’s an EDC so it is more refined and gentle than it is loud and proud.
