What does Elements Aqua (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

A fresh, citrusy accord leads, with aquatic and green touches behind it. In the heart, jasmine, nutmeg, pimento and clove add a spicy warmth and a light sweetness. The base of moss, vetiver and cedarwood settles the scent into a woody finish.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, while winter plays little part. It is worn mostly for leisure, daily use and the office, and most voters read it as masculine and modern. Hugo Boss Hugo (Eau de Toilette) and Calvin Klein Crave have a close profile.
