What does Aqua Lemon smell like?

Mandarin orange gives a bright, fruity opening, while spearmint and lemon petitgrain at the heart pull it towards a green, lightly spicy side. Cedarwood settles underneath as a dry, woody base, and an aquatic coolness runs through the whole composition.

Longevity and sillage are moderate: it leaves no heavy trail and stays close to the skin. Most voters place it in daytime, leisure and business settings. Votes split evenly between masculine and feminine, so it doesn't lean to either side. Acqua di Parma Bergamotto di Calabria and Heeley Note de Yuzu have a close profile.
