What does CH L'Eau (2017) smell like?

It opens on citrus, with cardamom and cayenne pepper adding a spicy edge. In the heart, orange blossom and rose meet ginger and maté tea, which bring a green, slightly sharp note. The base of musk, Atlas cedar, patchouli, vetiver and cashmere settles into a soft, woody finish.

Voters find the longevity good and the sillage moderate, so it makes itself known without filling the room. The vote count is small, so this is an early impression. Its fresh, citrus character suits daytime wear. Gritti Tangerina and Les Sœurs de Noé Citrus Poetry have a close profile.
