FruityWhat does Gotas Frescas smell like?
The top is a bright, fruity citrus blend of mandarin orange, bergamot and lemon. In the heart, sage, rosemary and lavender add an herbal, green depth, while the floral side stays in the background. Musk in the base softens everything and settles it onto a clean footing. From start to finish it keeps a light, fresh character close to a classic cologne. Truefitt & Hill Mayfair and Lorenzo Villoresi Acqua di Colonia have a close profile.
