What does L'Eau Pure smell like?
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it is noticeable without filling the room. Most voters pick summer, then spring. It is worn for daily, leisure, sport and office settings, and rarely for evenings. It does not lean clearly masculine or feminine, as votes split between both.
It opens with Italian mandarin orange and lemon for a bright citrus start. The heart brings white provençal lavender and aquozone, giving a floral, aquatic, clean feel. In the base, musk and Australian sandalwood leave a soft woody footing. The overall impression is light, fresh and cleanly synthetic.
