Agua de Colonia Concentrada Eau Fraîche Gift Set
Alvarez Gómez Agua de Colonia Concentrada Eau Fraîche Gift Set smells of citrus peel and clean herbs, a cologne in the plain sense of the word. Mandarin orange, orange and lemon open it together, juicy and zesty with the bitterness of the rind still in it, and the brightness is immediate rather than gradual.
Rosemary follows at the heart and gives the citrus an aromatic, faintly camphorous spine, dry and green where the fruit is sweet. Amber and musk close it quietly, adding a warm skin-like softness and a trace of sweetness that keeps the finish from disappearing altogether. The arc runs from sharp citrus through herb to soft warmth, and the citrus, aromatic and musky accords are what define it. The amber is a trace rather than a presence, just enough to give the citrus somewhere to land.
Alvarez Gómez was founded in 1899 by three men from Leon, Herminio Alvarez Gomez, Berlarmino Gomez and Emilio Vuelta Gomez, who opened a shop at Calle Sevilla 2 in Madrid. Its Agua de Colonia Concentrada has been made by hand since 1912. This Eau Fraîche was launched in 2020.
Moderate longevity and soft sillage make it a close-wearing scent rather than a room-filling one, which is exactly what a cologne of this kind is for. It works in every season and is at its most natural in spring and summer, and it suits professional wear, casual days and a night out. It comes as a gift set.
