18 Fuego Cologne

Four notes crowd the very top of 18 Fuego Cologne alone, Calabrian bergamot, Italian mandarin, pink grapefruit, and white pineapple opening the composition in a bright, fiery citrus rush. Haitian vetiver, fresh cardamom, violet leaf, and galbanum carry that fire into genuinely spiced, green middle territory that keeps developing rather than turning predictable. Benzoin resin, balsa wood, tree moss, papyrus, patchouli, and amber musk ground the dry down in dense, resinous richness that lasts for many long hours. Evening wear and warm weather both suit this citrus spiced Eau De Toilette especially well, energetic rather than subtle about its own fiery, confident name. Perry Ellis built this bright and spiced from start to finish, living up to its own fiery name with real conviction throughout.
