{"product_id":"alvarez-gomez-agua-fresca-eau-de-cologne-300ml","title":"Agua Fresca Eau de Cologne 300ml","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is a point in Alvarez Gómez Agua Fresca Eau de Cologne 300ml, about twenty minutes in, where the citrus steps aside and something dry and pale takes its place, and that is the part worth buying it for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore that it is cheerful and straightforward. Grapefruit leads with bitterness, lemon brings the sour snap, mandarin orange softens and sweetens the pair, and bergamot bridges the opening and the middle with its slightly floral bitterness. The heart is the familiar Spanish arrangement of lavender and rosemary, clean and herbal and faintly powdery, with coriander adding a peppery dryness that gives the whole thing a little edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen the wood. Cedarwood is sharp and dry, sandalwood creamy and soft, patchouli sits underneath them with an earthy depth, vetiver contributes a bitter root quality, and cumin provides a small amount of warmth that keeps the base from feeling austere. Twelve materials in total, and the interest is all in the transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree hundred millilitres at eau de cologne strength is a bottle to use rather than to admire. The concentration is deliberately light, so apply it generously, expect the brightest phase to be short, and reapply at midday without a second thought. The splash is traditional and the spray is more practical. Hot weather is where it earns its place, along with mornings, travel and the half hour after shaving. Both men and women wear it, and nobody will ask what you have on, which for a scent of this type counts as a compliment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe business is a Madrid family concern. Three young men from Leon, working in the aroma trade, opened its first shop on Calle Sevilla in 1899, and by 1912 they were producing the concentrated cologne by hand in the basement that would establish the house. The 1990s brought a factory and national coverage, and the firm is now led by its fourth generation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alvarez Gómez","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53297381998919,"sku":"ENG117320","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/5049\/1463\/files\/eng117320.jpg?v=1770520368","url":"https:\/\/thescentvault.ie\/products\/alvarez-gomez-agua-fresca-eau-de-cologne-300ml","provider":"The Scent Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
