What does Water smell like?

Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the vote count is small, so these ratings are tentative. Being unisex, it can be read on either men or women.

It opens with ozone, moves into aquatic notes at the heart, and the ice accord keeps the coolness going in the base. The fresh, citrus and aquatic sides lead, while the synthetic and lightly spicy touches stay in the background. Demeter Fragrance Library Holy Water (Cologne) and Pierre Guillaume Lune d'Eau have a close profile.
