What does Vodka on the Rocks smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters recommend spring and summer, while winter trails well behind. Leisure, daily wear and the office are the most chosen settings. Most voters read it as masculine, though it works as unisex. It shares a close profile with Davidoff Cool Water (Eau de Toilette) and Ralph Lauren Polo Sport (Eau de Toilette).
It starts with aldehydes, coriander and cardamom giving a cool, spicy brightness. Rhubarb, rose and lily of the valley add a soft floral heart, while aquatic and synthetic touches keep the freshness going. Sandalwood and oakmoss settle the base into a dry, woody finish.
