Pure Red Cologne by Karen Low, Equal parts spicy, tangy and citrusy, pure red is a cologne for men. Top notes are tangy and delicious: fresh juicy lemon combined with grapefruit and cranberry. Earthy middle notes of sage and saffron give an extra kick to the already pungent scent, while finishing notes of benzoin, musk and incense keep the cologne grounded and tied to the earth.
