Alvarez Gomez Agua de Colonia Concentrated Eau de Cologne Spray, 5.0 Ounce

I first stumbled across this aftershave in Seville, Spain, when the hotel provided a small bottle complementary in the bathroom. I’ve been buying it every since, and it’s my favorite our favorite thing about it may be something that others don’t like, but it really gives you a shocking jolt to the face along with the pleasant sent.

I use this cologne daily. It has a pleasant, citrus smell that is subtle and not overpowering at all. An added plus is that it is economical to use.

I've purchased and used just about every citrus-based fragrance out there. 4711, Jean-Paul Farina, Tom Ford, Floris, Taylor of Old Bond Street, G.H. Trumpers, Balmain, etc. All are good and have their unique characteristics as far as the lemony aspect of their fragrances are concerned. However, they all have the same short life as far as silage and projection are concerned, but not this Alvarez Gomez rendition of a lemon-based fragrance. The lemon is strong, but not overpowering in any sense of the meaning, and its staying power (silage and projection) is astounding. Even as the silage and projection calm down and diminish, the after fragrance turns to a very light, and complex, lavender creamish base note, but, surprise of surprises, with an edge of the lemon aroma still present. Is this better than the other citrus/lime/lemon fragrances I mentioned above? Not necessarily. As said, they all have their unique and delightful points apart from all their other peers. But if you're looking for the best, most potent, long lasting lemon-based fragrance out there, Alvarez Gomez's rendition is at the top of the list. Also, I did not detect the presence of artificials and chemicals. It is quite natural to the nose. Being unisex, it really works for both men and women. It's not feminine for a man to wear, and not masculine for a woman to wear. That's rare for a unisex fragrance. For the price, Alvares Gomez lemon-based cologne is probably one of the best unsung values out there in this class of fragrances. Oh, by the way, it comes in a heavy glass flask, not plastic or cheap easy-to-break thin glass.

It is a wonderful light, citrusy and slightly spicy scent - perfect for global warming wear. It’s a shame that it doesn’t have much staying power. If it lasted longer, it would be my permanent go to fragrance.

Smells really good

Fragrance fresh citrus great smell not over powering great price point, will buy again

Perfecto me gusta mucho Buena y buen precio

I thought this would be a nice fragrance since it has been around for decades. It is pleasant but the scent literally fades within minutes. There isn't even a subtle lingering scent. The product cannot be returned. This is expensive for something of little value.
