Kilian Kologne Shield Of Protection

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, cool and green, like herbs crushed between your fingers.

It opens on green mandarin, bitter orange and mint, moves through rosemary, petitgrain and neroli, and settles on cedar, green sap and cashmere wood.

• green mandarin: mandarin picked unripe: sharper, greener, less sweet
• bitter orange: sour marmalade citrus, closer to peel than to juice

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
