What does Lotus smell like?

The notes read as one whole: lotus and jasmine set a floral base, while cucumber, melon and watermelon pull it towards something juicy and cool. Galbanum adds a green sharpness and musk softens everything from behind. Citrus and spicy touches show faintly in the accords.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close without overwhelming. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it is recommended mostly for leisure, work and daily wear. Voters mostly call it feminine, and some find it classic. Sisley Eau de Campagne and Acqua Fresca have a close profile.
