What does L'Eau de L'Eau smell like?

It opens on mandarin orange, grapefruit, petitgrain and lemon. Clove, lavender and orange blossom pull the citrus toward spicy, floral ground. Tonka bean, patchouli and benzoin leave a sweet, woody base.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with leisure, daily wear and the office leading. Masculine and feminine votes are nearly even. It has been discontinued.
