What does Oblique FFWD smell like?

The top is green notes, seawater and melon, so it opens cool, watery and faintly sweet. Sichuan pepper adds a touch of spice in the heart, and musk and cedarwood settle the scent onto a soft, woody base. Fresh, citrus, floral and green accords lead, while the fougère and spicy sides stay in the background and a synthetic edge runs through it.

Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate, though few people have voted on either. It reads neither masculine nor feminine and suits men and women alike. Montale Fougères Marines and Azzaro Chrome United have a close profile.
