What does Aqua Classic smell like?

Cardamom, lemon and violet leaf open with a spicy, citrusy brightness. In the heart, sage, geranium and artemisia add a green touch. Patchouli, vetiver and suede form a woody, slightly dry base, while the fruity and synthetic facets stay in the background.

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it sits neither very close to the skin nor very loud. It is made for men and has a clean, cool profile. Korres Blue Sage and Ralph Lauren Polo Blue (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
