What does Lava smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the small number of votes means these ratings are tentative. It suits men and women alike and leaves a cool, clean trail.

It opens with spearmint and lavender for a crisp start. In the heart, geranium and cedarwood bring a floral and woody balance, while oakmoss and styrax settle the base into an earthy, lightly spicy ground. Fresh, citrus and aquatic accords shape its character. Davidoff Cool Water (Eau de Toilette) and Montale Fougères Marines have a close profile.
