What does (untitled) l'eau smell like?

The opening is bright and citrusy, with buchu and galbanum adding a green, lightly spicy edge. The heart carries galbanum, orange blossom absolute and mastic, and the base settles into a woody floor of serenolide, patchouli and frankincense.

Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it suits leisure, daily wear and the office. Voters split between calling it feminine and masculine, so it sits comfortably in between. Histoires de Parfums 1828 and Flora Danica 1761 have a close profile.
