What does Aqua Minimes smell like?

The top is all citrus: citron, mandarin orange and lemon. Litsea cubeba in the heart adds a spicy, slightly green edge, and cedarwood with vetiver settles underneath as a dry, woody floor. The overall impression is clean, lively and lightly spicy.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close to the skin without crowding anyone. Most voters pick summer and spring, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Votes for feminine and masculine are almost level, so it moves easily between the two. Chanel Paris - Édimbourg and Florame Fraîcheur Boisée have a close profile.
