What does Russian Water smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring, and it suits leisure, nights out and evenings. It is sold as a men's scent, yet a fair share of voters read it as feminine.

The citrus and lavender give a fresh, slightly green first impression. Cinnamon adds spice and vanilla brings sweetness, while the floral and oriental notes lend a soft, powdery feel. Throughout, it keeps a balance between fresh and sweet.
