Perfect pleasure, elixir of longevity, magical scent, Aqua Admirabilis – this is how cologne water was described in the Middle Ages, before the name derived from the city of Cologne became widely used. Françoise Caron and Christophe Raynaud, esteemed perfumers, create cologne waters strictly following traditional requirements. The recipe is as follows: low alcohol concentration, refreshing breeze of freshness dominated by citrus notes, and a subtle trace of fragrance. This product can be confidently used in the morning and evening, without getting bored of it or others.

This composition, prepared by Christophe Raynaud, opens with a burst of freshness of Brazilian bitter orange and leaves and twigs of Calabrian bergamot tree – precious and noble perfumery materials. Over time, this ultra-modern cologne water becomes more and more addictive. It reveals elegant notes of cedar, oakmoss, and hot spices.

It contains essences of bitter orange, bergamot, grapefruit, black pepper, cumin, tarragon, light wood, and oakmoss. Cologne water designed by Christophe Raynaud, perfumer of the Firmenich house.

About the brand Astier de Villatte

Brand with a crafty touch. Its founders, Ivan Pericoli and Benoît Astier de Villatte, produce ceramics using traditional 19th century methods - making each piece timeless and unique. But ceramics are not the end! In 2008, the pair invited renowned "noses": Emilie Mazeaud and Françoise Carona (a star from the Japanese perfume house Takasago) to collaborate. This resulted in a line of colognes, incense, and scented candles. The candles deserve special recognition - each wick (made of pure cotton) is tailored to the specific composition, while the glass vessels, decorated with small air bubbles, are made in an old-fashioned workshop in Tuscany. The labels and cardboard packaging are printed by one of the last typesetters in France - Monsieur Huin.
