The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1994 by the legendary French perfume house Caron, Eau de Cologne captures the essence of crisp, fresh elegance. The fragrance opens with bright citrus and aromatic notes that evoke a sense of invigoration, followed by a heart of green and herbal accords that add depth and complexity. The woody and powdery base creates a warm, comforting finish that lingers throughout the day.
One to two sprays is sufficient — the citrus top notes are bright but fade within a couple of hours. The woody base notes carry the scent well into the day, making it ideal for daytime wear.
