Colonia Toscana

if Tuscany smells like this then it's quite offensive and disturbing, it's more of a metallic rusty lemons, it has the major background of that metallic rusty pillars. i prefer Tuscany Per Uomo by Aramis.

Another new niche house, this one from Italy, Torre de Toscany appears to offer a range of high-quality eaux, including colognes, of which COLONIA TOSCANA is the neroli entry. The scent is unmistakeable to anyone accustomed to classic neroli-citrus colognes. Ranging from bargain bin Mäurer & Wirtz 4711 to überexpensive Tom Ford Neroli Portofino, the compositions themselves always smell pretty similar to me. That's because they all feature strong neroli and strong citrus, along with some aromatic and floral elements to blend in. I would have a tough time identifying these different neroli colognes in a blind sniff and even distinguishing the subtle variations from one to the next, unless I did a side-by-side left-versus-right arm comparison sniffing test. This one smells good. It's not new, and I'm not convinced that it is any better than any of the others out there. I had received this sample from a fragrant friend, and it came in a vial from Aus Liebe zum Duft, so I checked their price and found that this particular entry is about half-way between the least and the most expensive colognes of this type. Colonia Toscana smells natural to me--but what citrus neroli cologne doesn't, in the end? If you really need a niche version of this loud neroli cologne, you might want to check out Nicolai's Cologne Sologne which costs about one-third as much and is every bit as good. Of course, if you're looking for a specifically Italian citrus-neroli cologne, then you might prefer this one. I don't know. To me, this seems redundant.

A very elegant scent, in the line of Acqua di Parma Colonia from 1916, but more modern. A heavy dose of neroli, very citrus, from top to the bottom, not my cup of tea, but if you like neroli, is mandatory. I'm more o petitgrain side, green and cheerfull.
