What does Green Tea Cucumber smell like?

Cucumber and green tea come first, with Calabrian bergamot, Florida minneola and Tunisian neroli adding a citrus brightness. In the heart, watermelon, jasmine, French violet leaf absolute and galbanum join the floral side to the green. The base of Paraguayan maté absolute, amber, ambrette seed and musk softens it into a gently sweet finish.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays light and close to the skin. Most voters pick summer, then spring, and it is chosen for leisure, daily wear, sport and the office. The majority read it as feminine. Carner Marbella and Calvin Klein CK One (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
