What does Hydra smell like?

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, and most pick it for leisure and daily wear, with office use also getting a share. It suits anyone who wants something light that doesn't weigh on the skin.

It starts fruity and cool with dried fruits, mint and watermelon. Hyacinth and jasmine bring a soft floral heart. In the base, spindrift and white musk dry it down clean and aquatic, with a slightly synthetic sheen. Chambre52 Orencie and Clean Waterfall have a close profile.
