Bergamot opens with a citrus brightness, and cucumber at the heart adds a green, watery feel. In the base, musk, vanilla and beeswax soften the scent and give it a light sweetness, while fruity and spicy touches stay in the background.
Most voters pick it for spring and summer, and daily, leisure and office wear come up most. Longevity and sillage are moderate, and while more voters call it feminine, a good share find it masculine, so it sits comfortably between the two. Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune and Le Labo Fleur d'Oranger 27 have a close profile.
