I am testing the European and Turkish Cologne's that are not exactly Traditional Eau de Cologne's.

Tonight it is Agua de Colonia Concentrada from Álvarez Gómez.

With essences of Lemon, Lavender, Geranium, Eucalyptus, Rosemary, and Bergamot.

I am not a fan of the Eucalyptus in this, and generally too floral and not enough Citrus or Herbal notes. 6/10

I have added the Agua de Colonia Concentrada Eau Fraîche to my wishlist. Top notes of Mandarin, Orange and Lemon. With a heart note of Rosemary.
Very Eau de Cologne...

I thoroughly enjoyed my bottle of Alvarez Gomez Agua de Colonia Concentrada which I was actually using as aftershave, so guess the eucalyptus brought something to the party.

Rather than make a straight replacement, I opted for a bottle of Ach Brito Agua de Colonia Antiga which is quite different - darker and more herbal, possibly more along the lines of your Eau D'Orange.

Created in the 1960s, the Antiga eau de cologne’s refreshing original fragrance has lingered on till this day. It is a balm for the senses, thanks to its timelessness and elegance. The fragrance combines notes of orange blossom, lemon, and bergamot, enriched with the aromatic touch of thyme flower and rosemary.

Fragrantica lists camphor in the notes: https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Ach-Brito/Agua-de-Colonia-Antiga-42508.html ... something I particularly enjoy about DR Harris' Sandalwood Cologne. Very calming. Stick a bit of mossiness in this and it could almost be Eau Sauvage!
