It is often called "beastly" for projection and longevity, and it can feel like a two-sprays-max scent. Sampling is smart, especially since people report noticeable. Show less

Toni Cabal Eau de Cologne opens with a sharp splash of green mandarin and lemon. It settles quickly into a clean, soapy heart where neroli and lavender take over. This is not a complex fragrance.

We suggest sampling this if you want a simple citrus that leans slightly green. Show less
