What does Un Jardin sur le Nil (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate: it stays close to the skin rather than filling a room. Voters pick it mostly for daily wear, leisure and business; more call it feminine than masculine, though a good number see it as masculine.

Green mango and lotus lead, giving a fresh, citrusy, aquatic feel. Calamus and sycamore maple keep it green, while frankincense adds a spicy, faintly smoky depth. Fruity and floral touches blend through it. Lanoé No. 6 and Jo Malone Fig & Lotus Flower have a close profile.
