What does Aqua Universalis (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily, leisure and business settings come up most often. It reads as both feminine and masculine, with the feminine vote slightly ahead.

Sicilian lemon and Calabrian bergamot give it a bright citrus start, softened by lily of the valley and mock-orange into a floral, green lightness. Musk and woods form a plain, powdery, woody base underneath, while the aquatic accord keeps the whole thing clean.
