26.52 Extrait De Cologne

Sitting right alongside 13.12 in Reyane Tradition's catalog is a near-identical numerical sibling, sharing almost the same structure under a different digit combination. Bergamot, mint and grapefruit open with a sharp, cooling citrus freshness that mirrors its sibling's opening stage closely. Patchouli, amber, santal and vetiver build a rich, woody middle, keeping the same general architecture running through the fragrance's development. Tonka bean, sandalwood, Brazilian rosewood, musk, cedar, oakmoss and cardamom close things out warm and layered, giving 26.52 Extrait de Cologne the same dense staying power as its numerical counterpart. Woody aromatic is the fitting classification, structured for evening wear while remaining workable on a cooler afternoon. It suits dinners, business events and any occasion calling for a fragrance with serious depth. Fall and winter favor this dense, woody structure most, though the citrus top keeps it wearable into spring. Whatever distinguishes 26.52 from 13.12 on paper, the two land close enough in practice that either would satisfy the same craving.
