Comment: Colonia del Forte 1265 is part of the Colonia del Forte Collection
The Colonia del Forte Collection are all Eaux de Toilette, centred around "personalities that have revolutionised Tuscany, Italy and the world". Named after these historical figures' year of birth, Colonia del Forte 1265 honours the memory of Durante degli Alighieri (commonly known as Dante).
This woody-floral begins with a swirl of citruses and lavender, verging closer to Eau de Cologne territory than its siblings from the same collection. Within moments, a floral sweetness unfurls against a soft powdery backdrop (courtesy of the heliotrope), as a smattering of herbs are discernible but non-intrusive. Featuring a woody-musk base, both the rose and lavender continue to linger, producing a comforting aromatic denouement.
Out of the three creations, in the Colonia del Forte Collection, it's the most preferred. Unfortunately, it's also the least tenacious and stays close to the skin.
