Agua de Colonia Concentrada Pillow Mist 300ml
Alvarez Gómez Agua de Colonia Concentrada Pillow Mist 300ml takes the scent the house has made since 1912 and puts it where it arguably works best, on bedding rather than on skin. The six materials are the same ones that made the cologne famous. Lemon and bergamot give the first spray its clean citrus peel lift, lavender follows with the soft herbal quality that has been associated with freshly laundered linen for as long as linen has been laundered, and rosemary keeps everything dry. Eucalyptus provides a cool camphorous edge that reads as genuinely airy, and geranium lends a green sharpness with a faint rosiness behind it.
This is not a perfume and should not be judged as one. Mist it over a pillow, a duvet, a mattress when you strip the bed, a drawer of shirts or a sofa cushion, ideally a few minutes before use so the fabric is dry. The scent is strongest in the first moments and then becomes a faint background that you notice when you move. Lavender in particular is the reason products like this exist; it is the most reliably calming thing in the list. Three hundred millilitres is a lot of mist and it will last through many bed changes. It suits anyone who likes a bedroom to smell clean rather than perfumed, and it is a good present for a guest room or a new home. The composition is short and plainly built, which is exactly what you want in something you breathe all night.
Alvarez Gómez is a Madrid firm, in the same family's hands since 1899, when three men from Leon who had come to the city for the aroma trade opened a shop on Calle Sevilla. The concentrated cologne this mist is based on was first made by hand in that cellar in 1912, and the company is now in its fourth generation of family ownership.
