What does L'Eau Bleue d'Issey Eau Fraîche smell like?

It opens cool with mint, bergamot and rosemary. The heart of May rose, maté and peony adds a soft floral and green touch, while patchouli and musk settle it onto a woody base. Aquatic and spicy shades stay in the background.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it fits leisure, daily wear and the office. Most read it as masculine. Its profile is close to Hugo Boss Hugo XY and Dolce & Gabbana The One Sport.
