What does L'Eau de Monteil smell like?

Most voters pick spring and summer. It leans towards leisure and daily wear, and some also see it at the office. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters call it feminine, while some find it modern and others classic.

As a whole it reads as a fresh, aquatic floral. Jasmine and orange blossom form the floral core, and the marine notes add a clean, watery lift. Powdery notes soften the edges, while the green, fruity and lightly sweet sides stay in the background. Diptyque Do Son (Eau de Toilette) and Avon Far Away Fantasy have a close profile.
