It was very warm in the Prado Museum that afternoon. "The Garden of Delights", painted in 1503 by Hieronymus Bosch, intrigues everyone who comes to see it, including you. Suddenly, you hear the sound of a glass that someone dropped. It leaves behind a light, fresh scent: a harmony of lemon, bergamot, mandarin, petitgrain and lavender quenches your thirst, the base notes of cypress, patchouli and oak moss delights you.

There are hundreds of eau de colognes on the market and all are basically made up of the same ingredients: a combination of citrus elements (lemon, orange, grapefruit, lime); an herb to ground it (rosemary, lavender) and a touch of petitgrain to fix it.

This take on the classic citrus splash is excellent. The inclusion of oak moss in the note tree surprises me as it is not evident to my nose, nor would it have been welcome. A number of otherwise fine eaus have been ruined for me by the addition of a bitter wood element that may ground it, but which for me ruins the ethereal experience.

There is a shy floral element that eludes me. Can it be a touch of rose? It becomes more evident as time goes on and the scent fades.

It is not long lasting. Eaus by their very nature cannot be. Still fun to spray on several times during the day. A very decent eau de cologne.
