What does L!ve smell like?
Both longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin and fades fairly soon. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it leans towards leisure, daily and office wear. Voters mostly read its character as masculine, and many also call it modern.
It opens with lime, cool and sharp. In the heart, aquatic notes and green leaves keep the freshness going. The base of iris, liquorice and gaiac wood sweetens it slightly and sets it on a woody footing, while fruity and spicy touches sit in the background. Kenzo L'Eau Kenzo Aquadisiac pour Homme and Azzaro Wanted Tonic have a close profile.
