What does L'Eau Neuve - Figaro smell like?

It opens with bergamot, grapefruit, maritime pine and pink pepper, a bright start with a slight bite. The heart of fig, Damascus plum, apple, coriander and clover adds a soft, fruity and green feel. In the base, styrax, sandalwood, vetiver and tonka bean carry it onto a woody, earthy and lightly sweet ground.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards leisure, daily and office wear. Most voters read it as masculine, while a smaller share finds it feminine. Creed Original Vetiver and Guerlain Vétiver Fauve have a close profile.
