Eau de Cologne du Coq(1894)

Created by Aime Guerlain, Eau de Cologne du Coq opens on neroli, bergamot, citruses, lemon, and orange, moves through a heart of lavender, jasmine, and patchouli, and closes on oakmoss and sandalwood. Its rooster-referencing title, coq being the traditional emblem of France, ties it to a period tradition of patriotically themed colognes, and it represents one of the relatively few 19th-century Guerlain compositions with a note structure that survived into modern documentation.
