What does Freefall - Etruscan Water smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and spring, and it suits evenings and leisure time. Voters mostly read it as masculine, though it is a unisex fragrance.

The citrus notes give it a bright start, petitgrain and basil push the green side, and jasmine and orris root add a soft floral touch. Caraway brings spice, while labdanum and ambergris lend a resinous, animal depth. Oakmoss and vetiver keep it on an earthy, woody base.
