Colonia One is a cologne reinvented by Escentric Molecules: with a 15% concentration for long-lasting freshness without leaving an overwhelming aromatic impression. It is refreshing, refined, and unisex. A modern, minimalist, and endlessly fresh ode to the very essence of the gin and tonic.
Cologne One captures the freshness of a gin and tonic in a single sparkling gesture: effervescent, bright, and unmistakably clean.
The fragrance lies in its top notes: juniper for the gin, lime and citrus to revitalize, a touch of bergamot and mandarin, a whisper of ginger for a delicate spicy note, and a hint of cucumber that enhances the freshness without being cloying. It's concentrated, transparent, and immediate freshness.
The heart remains discreet: iris, rose, and hadione provide just the right structure to support the top note, allowing the bright citrus and juniper to linger.
The base is linear, serene, and understated: ambroxan, Iso E Super, and a touch of musk. Nothing competes, nothing distracts.
“We have a very different approach to fragrances, so our first cologne captures the unique and wonderful freshness of a gin and tonic. I think it’s quite novel, with that kind of freshness. It’s the idea of that first sparkling, effervescent aroma of the gin and tonic, that feeling of being in the drink,” says perfumer Geza Schoen.
