What does Bistro Waters smell like?

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it leaves a quiet trail without filling a room. It sits easily in daytime and office hours and is a poor fit for winter. Voters lean toward calling it masculine, though a fair share see it as feminine.

It opens with pear, coriander seed and lime blossom, with citrus and green accords up front. In the heart, mandarin orange, pea flower and bell pepper add a green, juicy side. The base of nutmeg, moss and basil brings a spicy, faintly smoky finish. Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey pour Homme Intense and Le Parfum Citoyen Parisian Dandy have a close profile.
