What does Agua Fresca smell like?

It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange, petitgrain, artemisia and marjoram. Rosemary, lavender, coriander and pepper form the heart, adding a spicy, herbal edge. Vetiver, sandalwood, cedar and oakmoss settle underneath as a woody, earthy base.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, which suits a light, clean scent rather than a loud one. Most voters pick summer and spring, and daily, leisure and office wear lead the occasions. Many see it as masculine, with a good number also calling it classic. Hermès Eau de Cologne and Balmain Monsieur Balmain have a close profile.
