What does Argousier Sauvage / Wild Sea Buckthorn smell like?

Lemon, bergamot and mugwort open sharp and green. In the heart, royal fern and lavender lead, with floral and spicy touches in between. The base of orange tree, cedar and Indian sandalwood settles it onto a woody, lightly sweet footing.

Its longevity is rated weak, though the number of votes is small, so that judgement is tentative. The fresh, aquatic character sits closer to warm days. It is presented as a men's fragrance. Kenzo L'Eau par Kenzo pour Homme and Creed Green Irish Tweed have a close profile.
