WoodyWhat does Green Water (2016) smell like?
It opens with a bright citrus layer of bergamot, neroli, mandarin orange, lemon and orange. In the heart, mint, caraway, clove, tarragon and basil turn it green and lightly spicy. The base of vetiver, oakmoss, musk and ambergris leaves a soft, woody footing.
Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it wears as a light, close scent through the day. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office are the most mentioned settings. It mostly reads masculine. Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza and Dior Cologne Royale have a close profile.
