What does Cool Water (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with lavender, mint, green notes, rosemary and coriander, a cool and herbal start. Neroli, jasmine, geranium and sandalwood soften the heart, while oakmoss, amber, musk and cedarwood form a woody base. Aquatic and citrus accords set the overall mood.

Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters recommend summer and spring, and daily wear, leisure, sport and business settings come up most often. Most voters read it as masculine and classic. Câline Absolute Blue and La Rive Distant Wave have a close profile.
