I just bought the Colonia Provenzale on a whim. Its nice if not particularly exciting. It does have a lot in common with the XXX soap on the opening, if perhaps a bit lighter on the citrus and more on the herbal spiciness. To me it seems like something that TOBS could put out - a traditional and conservative men's cologne (not the 4711 type - truthfully, I was hoping for a bit more citrus)
