What does Acqua Sale smell like?

Black pepper, Macedonian juniper berry and mandarin orange open dry, spicy and bright. In the heart, osmanthus, sea salt, galbanum and orris butter make it salty and green on one side, powdery and lightly sweet on the other. Vetiver and Spanish labdanum absolute form a woody base, while the synthetic accord gives it a clean, polished surface.

Longevity and sillage are rated good, though with few votes this is only a rough guide. It reads comfortably on both men and women and suits everyday wear. Givenchy Pi Neo (Eau de Toilette) and Lacoste L'Homme Lacoste Intense have a close profile.
